After all this Online Safety Act stuff and a recent post here about a BBC documentary covering SaSu I desided to share my thoughts, just because there is really noone, beside myself, with whom I could talk about this so sorry if this is boring or smth.
I belive that most people who demonize this forum do so, not due to a lack of compassion but to maintain there worldview and sanity. Should they accept SaSu's existence as something that helps people, they would admit, that lots of people are in situations where recovery is near impossible and death really is the preferable option. This heavily conflicts with the narrative of hope and happy endings which most were led to belive in/is a part of "human nature". Therefore this forum is (sub-)conciously branded as different and therefore wrong by the average person.
I don't know how it is for others but for me personally, this forum is the only place I can speak freely and share my feelings, so if I'd be to explain my situation to anyone even somewhat empathic I doubt they would still want this forum to be taken down.
I guess I'm also kind of making this post because I see lot's of hate against "normies" on this site and, in my opinion, we really can't blame them. Please note that I am not a Pro-Lifer, nor do I blame anyone here. In the end it is just a lack of knowledge and comunication, if suicide would not be a tabu topic, SaSu would probably not exist.
All that aside, fuck the BBC and fuck the government for scaring the public even more about suicide, meanwhile not acknowledging suicide as a symptom rather that a cause.
P.S. by the "heathy people" in the title I meant people who do not want to ctb, just wantet the title to be concise and "normies" sounds to passive agressive.
