As someone who's dealt with SH and suicidal thoughts for a few years... this has been stated already, but you never know what someone's going through and people have different ways of coping. I've talked about these issues and thoughts to friends in the chat before, and other people have as well. The person
@babydolla is referring to does seem to be doing it for attention tbh, but you can't know for sure.
It's true that some people/trolls fake this for attention (which is extremely shitty and should be actionable if it's proven IMO), but it would be dumb to assume that everyone who mentions suicide/suicidal thoughts in a chat room is lying for attention.
So, if someone's breaking rules about suicide talk, then they should be warned that the topic isn't allowed, and redirected to professional help. They should NOT be banned and should NOT be assumed to be liars.
it's foolish not to assume that theyre doing it for anything other than for attention...
you wouldn't assume that sanguine is serious about killing herself when she goes on tirades about it after being banned, you wouldn't assume that dionysus is serious about killing himself after being exposed as a pervert..
if you got a scam phone call from the IRS, or an e-mail from a nigerian prince would you assume that those are serious too??? of course not, because this is the internet & taking anything at face value is foolish, especially here...
how many times are u going to warn the same person, how many times are u going to refer them to a suicide prevention hotline??? at some point u has to be like *okie this person isn't serious, & clearlys theyre just doing it to be edgy & milk it for attention* bc i do agree that not everyone does it for attention, some do it sarcastically, some do it to express their disapproval, etc but a line needs to be drawn somewhere or it'll never stop, & that deterrent should be a risk of being banned if at the very least u don't stop & it becomes clear that ur doing it for attention (like katelyn_uk, sanguine, dionysus, etc)...
mentioning suicide isn't wat shouldn't be banned perse, even though in a perfect world it would be bc no one would has the desire to kill themselves then... BUT talking about it & expressing it for attention & to manipulate a person's sympathy should be a bannable offense bc it's as i've said; inappropriate, disrespectful, disgusting, & a massive slap in the face to everyone that ever has or knew someone that they luv'd that killed themselves...
I dont think anyone is saying everyone who does it, does it for attention, but this one does. Hours upon hours in chat constant I want to die, someone kill me et al. I have her on ignore, but just before this was SS she was having a perfectly fine conversation with someone else in chat and as soon as they left back to this. Its actually sad and makes a mockery out of those who genuinely are seeking assistance and to those loved ones who took this route and those who mourn them. Considering its General Chat nothing will be done about it.
exactly, the very same was taking place the other day, totally capable of engaging in normal positive conversations but the moment that person who is talking to them leaves the chat or simply begins talking about something else with someone else she immediately starts going on about how she can't wait to die, & then disrupts the conversation by asking ppl who are just minding their own business to please kill them...
glad other ppl who see this are starting to speak out about it & how disgusting, inappropriate, & outright annoying it is bc frankly it's every single time she is there without fail...
the mods will mute, & kick, & warn about doing it, they'll even admittedly be very nice about it... but then she turns around, continues to do it anyway, complain that the mods all collectively hate her & then be completely silent until the mods aren't there anymore & the moment they leave she begins with the *i cant wait to die* - *______ pls kill me* - *i want to die* -
oh & my absolute favorite, for anyone who wants to try & say that this person isn't doing it for attention, & isn't a twisted scumbag that spends time in a chatroom with underage users GLORIFYING SUICIDE, take a look at this;
