even if this site was "pro suicide" i would still use the forum and support it

like for one, given it already has that reputation not much would change in terms of that. plus, i doubt anyone who isnt seriously suicidal would be searching for this website so it's not like the site would influence perfectly normal healthy people into doing it.

i don't really see an issue with being "pro suicide", i wouldnt really use the label myself but many would ascribe it to me because i believe that human liberty and autonomy means anyone should be able to end their lives if they wish for whatever reason (i just generally believe people should be allowed to do literally whatever they want with their body aslong as it doesnt cause direct harm to others. you can chop your arm off if you want, do whatever drugs you want, even permanently dye your skin blue if you want to idc)

also i dont think "pro suicide" even necessarily means actively pushing others to do it or whatever which this site doesnt, to me it just sounds like "not actively discouraging it" which is why many ascribe the label to this site and i dont see anything wrong with that tbh

maybe im like in the minority here but idk.

For me, suicide never seems like a bad decision, even if you kill yourself today and tomorrow scientists find a cure for your problem, you now can't feel bad, you can no longer have regret or feel anything. Today I am 21 years old, I have thought about killing myself since I was 12, and if I had done it I would have avoided so much suffering. It's better to be pro-suicide than pro-life; being pro-choice can still lead to suffering, as we humans make some fucked up decisions that makes us suffer more and more. Only those who keep trying to improve in this rotten world can suffer.

Not sure myself, but I completely agree with you. If I had to give an extreme example on how much I agree, this brings to mind the consensual cannibalism case. I don't know, can't believe I'm saying this, but it seems kind of okay(???) to me in a sense of personal autonomy. The fact that both people consented… Maybe that's too much. Point is, there is a moral stance to everything sure, but to what extent? We are already judged for ending our own lives. In the sense that it's a sin to do so, you'll go to hell for it. I don't know, maybe I'm just talking out my ass

A person can be so broken that they end up making decisions they believe are right, but that's all because they're mentally unwell. a child can consent to have sex with an adult, but i don't need to explain for you that it's wrong even if they consent. An adult might also think they are consenting to something when in reality they are not and actually are being used by other people.

Just curious, if you feel that way, why haven't you done it yet?

Because we are not extremely logical beings, but rather emotional ones. For example, right now I'm consuming a high amount of sweet food. From a logical point of view, I know this will ruin my health, but my urge to eat is so strong that it overrides my logic. and that extends to every decision in my life, but of course some people can surprass they instinct more then others.

i honestly feel like everyone here must feel this way, at least in the back of their minds. because otherwise why would they use this forum, genuinely? it's reasonable that there are people out there who think suicide should be prevented, and that tutorials on how to kill yourself and threads maladaptively sulking in depression shouldn't be available to mentally ill people. however, these people wouldn't seek out and use a forum that does that.

well, to me the word "pro" suicide feels like saying I think suicide is a generally good thing or something I encourage, which is not true. but I agree with your sentiment. I think suicide sometimes is people's only option, or the best option, or even if it's not either I think it's everyone's choice to decide how or if they live their life which includes the choice to end it. everyone lives and dies for themself and I think it's their choice to do so and there's alone, and nobody else needs a say in it. however, suicide is still always a tragedy. it's tragic that anyone had to go through pain hard enough for long enough to take the choice to end their life, or that realistically they accepted the pain they'd need to endure in order to end their life, and it's still a tragedy for the people around them who are dealing with their loss so no I could never call myself pro suicide because I could never twist that situation to be a good situation like that term is implying but yes I am pro choice and believe that's the only logical stance anyone should have towards the matter really.
