Story "SaSu is full of horrible people" A Retrospective

[NormallyNeurotic]

When I first joined this forum at 18, "sent here" by Tantacunt's hate video, it was partially needing a place with less censorship—but also partially the same self-harm urge that drove me to places that were as close to 4Chan as I could get without actually being on 4Chan.

I would have never expected the people I met here. At this point, you have to manually pick threads and users to actually get a picture of this forum that isn't at the very least sympathetic.

For one, you'd have to completely avoid so many posts by @whywere and of course anything by @webb&flow. Not to mention the other people here who I honestly like to call my friends (I'm aware of the irony), who show so much humanity and willingness to see nuance, debate freely, show compassion (even when it's hard), help others recover/survive/thrive, etc...

If you wanted to properly villainize this forum, you need to make us all look like unintellectual, nihilistic, uncompassionate, selfish sadomasochists. That's hard to do, even in the Suicide Section. So many people talk others down from impulsive, regrettable suicides daily. There's a reason my therapist knows I'm on here—this is exactly the type of place a proper psychologally-inclined person should find necessary, not inherently dangerous.

Freely talking about suicide should not be restricted outside of allowing trigger warnings and the like for suicide attempt/suicidal ideation survivors. Full stop.

I'm pretty new here but so far i only read and interacted with sensible people. I like this place since i feel like i am not alone with my curse. I think talking about something is better than trying to ignore it. Suicide is a nono topic in most places even though it happens all the time and takes a lot of good people daily.

Don't be so naive to think that this place is a sanctuary either though. Some people here do hide foul intent.
Always be careful about what information you share, where you are sharing it, and with whom.

Oh, definitely. But that's just basic internet safety. Sharing personal info on Twitter is probably more dangerous nowadays tbh

Tantacrul did not deserve to choose a name that evoked Pokemon

I think UK be a good example. Everything here is one fat culture war (especially immigrants which make up a subtantial amount of our workforce and population so the arguments basically boild down to greed and racism) and the current leadership are fence-sitters. Also, sorry if this a weird question, do you think if people have a genuinely good support work and an a person wants to attempt, should they have the right to prevent them. , especially with specific conditionslike depressions or problems which are not really that world-ending?

Thanks for the answer. Wasn't there a thing about waiting letters being discussed with certain conditions which permit suicides without criminalisation. (Non-government isssued ones, too much to go wrong there even with this). I feel like that is a solution that gives the receipent a good chance to think about their life in the whole capacity, preventing impulsiveness.

I mean even if there was a large population of unintellectual, nihilistic, uncompassionate, selfish sadomasochists on here at least they have a place where they can speak freely? They're human beings too.

People will be people. Some nice and some not so nice. Admin and whatnot are not saints and neither are the rest of us.

This place is ultimately what the users make of it and what has been made of it so far is not wholly "evil" and cannot be painted with such a broad brush.

Sectioning is what I meant. It is really a gamble on whether an hospital is being funded a decent budget for facillities and attentive staff members. The waiting letters haven't been implemented in any country yet - and definitely not in the UK as they only recently approved MAID for the terminally ill, I see if I can their origin somwhere
