How would you feel if there was an in real-time website that constantly added the name and photo of the latest suicide somewhere in the US?

[Weebster]

imagine a series of billboards throughout the country showing the latest local suicide flash on the screen only to be replaced by another.

 

[Musketeer]

That would be fucked up, it wouldn't bother me though. I'd probably think good for them.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Whatever unholy technology that allows this to be possible would probably be even worse especially if it gets used in other ways. It'll likely never happen though because that's way too much concern for suicidal people for regular people to bother with.

 

[lofticries]

That thing would be updated per second.

 

[Jred]

That'd be pretty messed up, a lot of us don't want to be blasted into public view like that for choosing to CTB. And a visualization like that would definitely make dissenters much more uncomfortable at the thought and probably end up making restrictions tighter.

 

[kosameAmagai]

it would be really bad ... if someone wants to show up to the world that he/her is going to ctb the person should just do an stream or something similar, this is totally against privacy and very disrepectful to the people that just want to go away in peace

 

[SuicidallyCurious]

Morbid

The dissenters would have no power
I want this. Dystopia!!!

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Probably should be just to raise awareness of depression. Though, I am not sure what good that'd do. You just cannot cure everyone.

Not sure if this counts but if you go to.

Yeah I watch his videos. I wish he would stop focusing on celebrities. Celebrities aren't human.

Why the hell would you want that?
What would even be the point of that?

To give me strength

 

[Alex6216]

To give me strength

How would that give you strength?
I hope nothing like this happens, I wish I am ignored and forgotten as soon as i'm dead, no news story no photos no talking no memories nothing

Strength to kill myself. There aren't many articles of young people doing the deed so I feel alone in ctb

 

[rationaltake]

Couldn't care less. Not in the US.

 

[FuneralCry]

I think that the dead should be allowed to just rest in peace, none of them asked to be on a billboard, I would personally be against the idea. If I was to die, I would want it to be like I never existed in the first place.

 

[waitingforrest]

I am going to ask the website owners to post that really bad cringe inducing photo of my rebellious phase. If they are going to post my face, might as well give it all I have.

 

[ojinzo]

I don't know about no billboard. That's messy af. However, I think a website would be useful to people like me who want to know that certain methods actually work. When I ctb , I wouldn't mind at all if they posted my name and method.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Reminds me of the 'Hunger Games' in a way- the latest fallen victim (to life I suppose). I guess in a certain way, it would be a form of honouring the person- like seeing the pictures of people who have died in a tragic accident. I would feel pitty towards seeing their image and what brought them to that point but also relief that their struggle was over.

I guess it would raise awareness of depression and suicide. I don't think it would do pro-choice people any favours though. I think it would raise suicidal prevention methods making it so visible to everyone. I think many people who are suicidal don't want to be 'saved' (forced to live).

 

[Wait-Bus]

imagine a series of billboards throughout the country showing the latest local suicide flash on the screen only to be replaced by another.

Given the rate of suicide in the US, you'd have four new faces each hour.

 

[NHLTradeRumor]

That would be morbid, but it wouldn't stop me at all.

 

[Wannagonow]

Nope. No billboards. Might be hurtful or triggering for some people. Put it on a website where people can choose whether to look at it or not- fine. It certainly wouldn't deter me from ctb, as a matter fact it likely would make me sadder. Looking at pictures of dead people doesn't do much for me.

 

[Himalayan]

Ppl wouldn't want to look at that. They like to preserve their sense of safety.
