"believe he was influenced", "hold him responsible"
Funny how these clowns never ask what compelled these people to find this website to begin with. It couldn't possibly be that they're going through severe mental distress and that their home lives aren't providing the support necessary to bring them down from wanting to CTB. It's always these disingenuous "families" pretending as if everything was fine before "da evil suicide forum" came into their lives.
"a user announcing their decision to commit suicide by ingesting a poison. The post was met with many positive replies of encouragement."
Yes, because we actually believe in mercy you disgusting monkeys. Know what else we believe in? RECOVERY! However, that doesn't fit into the narrative of this place being some kind of suicide cult. The recovery section is also on the front page, and I GUARANTEE more people have decided not to CTB because of SaSu than otherwise. This might be crazy to understand, but most suicidal people DON'T want to commit suicide. They just want their pain to end, but our world does not offer the necessary reliefs to do this with. Want people to stop CTB? FIX THIS GARBAGE PLANET THEN!
"call 988 for assistance and support in a mental health crisis."
If these "journalists" actually did any real investigative work, they'd quickly find how many people here HAVE reached out to these "support" services, among other support networks, and those FAILED them. It's NPC answering machine bullshit, but none of them want to face the hard truth that life is fucking awful for a lot of us, and "there's hope" doesn't mean shit if there isn't any actual material improvements in our lives. For the worst off, there simply is no way to materially improve their conditions, so suicide is a mercy.
I'm going to start calling these drones "anti-mercy", because ultimately that's what they're fighting against. They don't care about the "preciousness" or "sanctity" of life, because they're more than willing to make a life suffer because it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy for "helping". None of them want to admit that sometimes letting somebody just die IS helping. We already make exceptions for some people who are terminally ill, but of course those cases are usually physical conditions and since nobody likes admitting that mental health is just as important as the physical, society continues on acting as if mental conditions just don't qualify for mercy.
Biggest irony is this is being led by TERF Island where they don't give a flying fuck about the trans kids killing themselves because of the government policies stripping them of their healthcare. How dare we not want to suffer right?
