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.
