Do you ever thought there is a post or thread on here which is really tasteless?

[noname223]

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.

That's so truee it seems so insensitive to be joking about that. I have not seen the thread but as what you've described it, it also made me feel disgusted by the way they've responded. I've seen other goodbye threads and the users there were really supportive and kind, not like that.

Similar thing with a goodbye thread where someone drinks a giant bottle of water with their SN, not too long after eating, and survives, ppl were sometimes distasteful, maybe coz the method was something they were closely attached to, and mods locked the thread.

The user ended up surviving and posted about it later, and that thread was ok, ppl there even mentioned that the comments in the previous thread were uncalled for. Yes, OP might have said annoyed words, but they were in the middle of an attempt, and the thread shouldn't have devolved into argument.

agree with you
anyone who makes jokes about people who are in a bad situation should be banned
it is sad enough that so many people are so desperate
so there is no need to make fun about it

There was a thread about CTB in a nazi death camp a long time ago.that was weird to say the least..


In a more light hearted tone I saw a thread where the title was 'a reason not to ctb' and when I opened the thread the user posted that the switch 2 was releasing...

 

[psp3000]

a user wished to be disabled or in their words "like a child" (as an alternative to suicide)

it went on for so long before it was locked and it was very upsetting to many people

mmm, it is one thing for a user to wish they were a child once more, a total other to wish for disabilities

that's why it upset so many people

they commented things like that on that post (like what you said above) but OP wasn't having it or was even hearing themselves or basically refused to (they thought life would be much easier that way)

(edit: also to clarify they keep using disabled and "like a child" or "childlike" interchangably in this post)

I now wonder if the person was banned or something because when you look up their name they don't show up as a suggestion but you can still see their posts
