I don't know if it's just me or not, seems to happen very often when mental health and suicide topic comes up. It's just...the way people word why you should choose life seems off to me. I get what they're trying to convey but... I don't know man. For me it seems people struggling with mental health are seen as a doggy who doesn't know any better. Waiting for a nouble prince on a white horse to safe them (which is, of course, the person speaking). Probably because most people like that, especially pro-lifers, say you need to live because that's just the thing you do, you know? Discussion on assisted suicide, pro-choice and death itself is one of the most sensitive and hard ones, no surprise people tend to stick to primitive ideas.
I see it in discussions on SaSu the most. Especially with yt videos, people tend to take things at face value. But you know, that always happens. Most of us do it. I check comments under those videos, on reddit, etc about this site to see both party's opinion but they're just so plain, sterile and toxic. Feels like a torch lit demonstration in word form. Only god knows how they categorize people into good and bad ones. The opinion I see the most is that poor lost souls™ get talked into suicide by people who get off to suicide...? Because... why else would you be here for so long... Yeah, right. There are people like that, true. But I guess it does help to simplify things, so I'm happy they found peace in it. And that people who stay here for years and/or have >100 posts are evil disgusting creeps and perverts. It's so tiring to read this stuff. Like, "they only see things in black and white", buddy you play for the same team!
Performative activism would be the ideal way to describe it. A person taking this seriously would actually do something meaningful. That'll require real effort, and we don't do that here.
I'm not trying to defend this site or give you the right opinion. If for me personally it's a great place doesn't mean that others can't/couldn't have a nightmarish experience with it. It's just tiring. The whole thing, not just SaSu. Mental health topic has only recently started to be less taboo. Going to therapy is less stigmatized, although not fully and there are some drawbacks to it. Most of human history people with mental illnesses weren't treated as a human and an equal, it's just how things are. A shame that the majority of people are narrow-minded and only few can hold a proper discussion.
I wonder if I was mentioned in one of those expose videos, would I be seen as "one of the good ones"? Probably other values I hold would be seen as wrong. What a bummer...
