  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

It begins with a simple statement by OP:

30B019EC 914B 4D38 A42B 4434CAF5D446

Ok, sounds good. He's made his decision.

But oh boy, here comes the "just wait a minute!!" knights to save the day.

FFA003BB 7BB5 4942 87EF 12F25F5862CB

Just wait a minute or two, OP. Or, hell—why not make it a year or two?

F3347739 167F 4816 BEF2 528F402A983E

And don't forget to come back here a year later for me to tell you the exact same thing!! :)

OP also has a number of compelling arguments in the comments section to convince him not to CTB. Here are a few examples:

CCE70AFB 1694 4F2B 8062 BDDB0AC91F3E

and

BB1A157F DFF7 41BC 9726 4F7FCC76CC6F

Hmm, I hadn't considered "just not doing it" before. I'm certain that will help OP address the problems that he's facing in his life.

But it turns out, the commenters have provided some more concrete reasons not to end things too. Do you think OP can justify taking his life if he hasn't seen the conclusion to the Marvel Cinematic Universe?? I don't think so.

C35966BD 10D9 4D80 8EE6 F6025D6CF450

That's right, Disney has plenty of surprises waiting for OP! It would be pretty selfish if he didn't stick around. Disney's being very generous by providing him with such high quality entertainment.

And has OP forgotten the most important thing about life?

0B80C75B 9D12 4E74 A24D EC86E2367A2E

With great reasons like these, I honestly don't know how anyone can justify taking their life. OP is selfish and weird for not realizing what a precious gift he has. Just think of all the amazing anime shows he will miss out on…;-;

For years now I have wondered about the link between Anime and ctb. It's so prevalent on this site that I feel like if you want to live you should never watch it again. Hopefully someone recommends that to this redditor. Idk what else to suggest.

Ah yes, the classical ''life is a gift because we have pizza and videogames yay!''. First of all, how do they even know if OP likes Marvel or Disney or whatever comic stuff or anime? But that's redditors we talk about, they love to act like they-know-it-all, even the life of people they never met.

Second, yeah there's a lot of bullshit to watch and it's enjoyable when you watch it. But after? You'll forget it immediately, in one week you won't even remember anymore. Your mind be making up space for the unforgettable suffering and bad moments that will come ;). I said and I will say again: Good moments are few in number, they are superficial as intensity and won't last long. Bad moments instead are plenty, they are very intense and last a lot. So why should OP keep living for such a superficial reason as a stupid movie or an anime if the bad will prevail in a short time again?

They're normies who have no clue about how life works and have been sheltered all their life, they come on that subreddit and other similar to annoy the hell out of people with real problems, thinking that they're some kind of saints for repeating the same thoughtless phrases over and over again.

Man go post on mental health subreddits (and reddit in general) only if you wanna suffer lol.

But playing video games or watching shows are already activities to isolate from life, so how is that a good reason to stick around?

I've noticed similar things browsing, threads where you announce you're leaving that day or within an hour just lead to worthless replies like that. Sometimes better threads are made and actual suicidal people talk to each other about stuff like this and otherwise. I don't have a reddit thread so I don't really save any threads, but here's an example. I'm sure a couple of dummies are around but a lot of the responses are just sympathetic suicidal people.

You might have discovered the long awaited answer to SI. We just need to talk to worthless consoomers who think the meaning of life is marvel movies and possibly cartoons.

Lol, too true, before finding this place I joined a random one on Reddit, the poster was a man from Thailand, who had lost his job, was going to lose his home, and gave a large list of disabilities he suffered from, mental and physical. All he wanted was warm wishes, which I gave and was promptly permabanned for as well as being told that I was reported to "authorities" for encouraging suicide. Lolwut? First day first post, good god they're pathetic.

I partially understand. It's not shocking that someone would lack being articulate when they hardly know someone and the first interaction is they're going to be dead in an hour or in a day. Still, I think it's a flaw of them to fundamentally assume it must be prevented or such drivel should be said at all. It's what happens when society inherently thinks that you must live at all cost.

Most of the time, yes. But I find myself checking it out because suicide is largely neutered on the internet and sometimes other people who are suicidal can get their viewpoint across a bit.

I mean it seems ridiculous because everyone who ends up on this website are jaded and tend to trend towards nihilism, but for normal people, even something as superficial as waiting for a new season of a tv show can be enough to delay a suicide.

I suppose. Acute people and long term suicidal are different, but even at sixteen these responses would have been worthless to me personally.

Yeah understandable. Acute suicidal people are a lot easier to reason out of suicide vs long term suicidal people. But like I said, people cling on to life for the most superficial reasons. I remember being younger telling myself I wouldn't kill myself if my favorite tv show got renewed (it didn't sadly).

"I know someone who killed themselves and it destroyed their parents.... Please consider living as a machine solely for others."

I don't think it's enviable, but it is a bit baffling to me at least. I remember searching and searching suicide again, and just finding trite garbage again. These people really do contribute to the conclusion is there is no decent answer out there.

If something happens that peaks your pain, the prospect of a new season isn't even going to register to you. We're one crisis away from the end.
Also, yeah, delay but.. what then? Just delay delay delay? Play for time?

I understand these people not getting it but good God, they sure act like they know it all and then come out with asinine answers like this, as if placating a child.
