So now we attack grieving parents ,whats next ? Sex trafficking ? Human trafficking ? Come on !
I don't even know where to start with this one. What is she talking about? Minors aren't tolerated
at all. They're actually banned on sight - that's a very strict policy and we're enforcing this rule without exception. It's amazing how confidently she spreads her lies now after the NYT affirmed her willfully ignorant narrative about this forum. I wonder if she really believes this is going her way. Her posts are absurd on so many levels.
Literally nobody has encouraged members to attack grieving parents either. You won't find one single post of staff members doing that. It's also interesting how she twist the actual situation considering her entire social media presence was created to smear and slander us into oblivion. Who is attacking who exactly? Seriously though, considering her purposely misleading narrative she shouldn't be surprised if members of this community use their voice to counter her lies - voices which she ignored and walked over for the last few years by the way. I think the outrage of this community is justified considering we've been dragged through the dirt for the last ~3 years.
Here is the deal. It's not that complicated. We are consenting and autonomous adults. We have a right to discuss strongly neglected human rights such as the right to die - an issue that's been brushed under the rug for decades despite the public opinion which supports legislation to change the current situation in many countries all around the world
by the way. And that's one part of the forum. Another important part of this forum is the overhelming support and compassion that struggling people experience in this community, myself included. There is a reason why people want to use this forum, it gives them a space to discuss subjects that are considered taboo out there. It's why the NYT article has led so many new members to this forum in the first place. Every time you mention that there is a place out there, in the distant corners of the internet, that allows people to talk about deeply personal struggles without censorship and the moralising undertone, a platform that recognises individual autonomy and the right to decide what happens with your own life (which you essentially treat like the forbidden fruit of the 21th century by the way) you will increase the member count of this forum - deal with it. You can't ban these ideas. And
all members that engage in this community do so voluntarily. There is no encouragement, there is no hidden agenda, there is no profiting, this is about principles. And as others already pointed out in this thread, this community and the discussions related to this website deserve to exist. You're not gonna silence us, period.
