Somebody/something being “too good for us” or “too good for this world” thing has been around for almost a decade at least. I mean, it used to mainly be said about animals but this isn’t exactly a new concept
Try 8+ millennia. In Lake Baikal, Siberia, dogs were buried with respect equal to and sometimes better than a human burial purely due to emotional attachment, in a place where they served no utility for food gathering etc.
And if that doesn’t count, then it’s definitely been around since 50-ish CE when Christianity spread the idea of humans being innately terrible and undeserving of basically anything…
Is this “we don’t deserve X” a new internet fad? If so, I hate it.

I’ve seen it said about dogs for years now, but only recently have I seen it said about a variety of different themes.
Not sure how old this is, but last time April 12. was on a Friday was in 2019.
It’s not new, but I do hate it.
