I considered to take the title "Which was the most tasteless post/thread on SaSu?" But I considered it too polarizing and maybe we should not call each other out.
But there comes the question. How to deal with tasteless posts or threads? (if they abide the rules and don't break rules). Tastelessness can be subjective.
I think I won't link the posts or threads.
But the one on whether you would like to go to a concentration camp if they returned stuck with me. Many members rightfully criticized the thread and creator.
There was another post which was pretty popular on here I considered it really tasteless. But I think I did not dare to speak out thus far. And I think the thread would not have been a good place to discuss it.
I won't name or link the thread. I think the case should be discussed with naming the specific posters. There was a goodbye thread. I usually don't read goodbye threads because they make me too sad. The person took SN. And updated his last seconds on earth. He said something like "Oh shit, I pooped my pants". And someone replied and quoted it. Something like: "Great last words." The reply got 30 reactions and none of them was negative. Half of them were laughing emotions. Someone else commented "thanks for sharing"
Sorry but this feels very wrong to me. I know where the people are coming from. But isn't it a little bit depraved to make such a joke considering the situation. How would his loved ones react if they knew about it. This would just confirm (their wrong) perception of this forum. I think it is wrong to make such a joke. And probably way too early (if one considers this as a factor). I think every single case causes a lot of emotional pain. Either for the ones who are going through a living hell which drives them to this decision. Or for loved ones who have to live despite that.
I think jokes about suicide are not inherently tasteless. They can help to cope. But not about a single individual that just died. It felt like making fun of him for me. Personally, I would not like it if people commented in such a way about my suicide. I wondered why noone speaked out against it. This is not usual for SaSu. This community is very lovely. This is not our standard.
