Can someone tell me why the suicide of Charlotte Fosgate/burntfishie in particular is getting all this attention? To me it's just another trans suicide. Was this person's Sonic hacks notable for being shit? Did he ruin a particular Sonic ROM hacking forum or Discord?

And I don't think it's just Stonetoss that brought attention to the situation, unless he is familiar with this person.

@xianc78 to me it's just more weird internet drama that is so far detached from me i don't give a shit

@beardalaxy I ultimately don't care about it either. I realized over the years that getting into such drama is pointless, but at the same time, I understand that these types of people are common in these types of communities and that a suicide in said communities could bring in a victim-blaming game in which people will have their lives ruined because they will be accused of contributing to the suicide (no matter how true it is).

I don't know. One of my biggest fears in life is to be blamed for someone else's suicide. I will never in a million years intentionally cause someone to kill themselves, but given how mentally unstable some people are, I feel like I might say or do something that finally gets someone to take the plunge and have my name appear in their death note.

@xianc78@gameliberty.club It somehow made its way to my Explore page on Twitter when I check there for news. I think it got so much attention because of how apathetic all of the person's "online friends" were towards his suicidal posts. They all just completely supported it and played into it (I get dark humor but this somehow just feels like straight apathy) or would change the subject into something else entirely like a casual conversation, without paying attention to the suicide tendency in question. They grew desensitized to it... until it finally happens.
So I think this type of apathetic behavior might be shocking for people looking in from the outside. Even for someone like me, I did find it odd. They glorify suicide. Where the fuck are the person's parents when all of this is going down?
Younger people nowadays are fucked inside these mentally unwell communities. I remember growing up, if someone would say such things online, I personally would take it seriously and try to talk to them. Now they all just want to kill themselves and propagate the idea inside the group.
:lmao: I believe turning to online communities for "help", where there are more mentally unwell retards constantly pushing each other over the edge with whatever they are trying to deal with, is adding fuel to the fire. I see it constantly, people coping online with other bad habits that the community they're in pushes on them.

Unironically, I think a lot of them need Jesus. lol
Not retards online passing their own demons onto them.

@veru A lot of their suicide threats look like shitposts you find on here. One was on April Fools day in response to some anime announcement. The other was talking about hanging via a ceiling fan until his mother showed up. There are probably more, but they don't look too serious.

@xianc78@gameliberty.club That is true but I would say some of the people on here aren't that much better than trans circles in regards to the demons they face and try to live with. Sure, the other circles may not be specifically enabling the lifelong pharma slave transition aspect of those other circles, but I see cope posts all the time on here and on social media in general. And that's the eerie aspect of it: Are those posts truly just shitposting? What leads someone to overshare their entire life to the internet? I think a lot of those situations should be taken more seriously but ultimate it's up to the person to push through; it's how I myself even managed to get back control.

I personally rather stand alone than in bad company. For me, spending less time online is a net positive.

@xianc78 "just" another trans suicide? isn't that reason enough to care?
