    Funny but in a too dark way to spread and potentially risk inspiring anything

    Y’all are worth it. Don’t be rash. Life changes, gets better, then worse again, then way better then way way better, then kids (ie, incredible but also worse/better/worse but also better/wtf?), then you soon die anyway. Stay strong and see it thru. There are good surprises still in store for you.

    There was a time in my life when this would have been a joke about suicide. Proud to say my first five thoughts were about class warfare. We’re movin up dudes.

      CW: dark themes/mental health

      spoiler

      It says “make it happen” on the wall. The light casts a shadow underneath the message that looks like a noose.

    Quite unacceptable on a platform with people with mental health struggles.

      Isn’t any platform going to have people with mental health struggles? Maybe if this was posted to one of the depression/mental health comms.

        Yeah, but I feel like fedi has a large amount of queer identity people which do tend to struggle more.

          IDK about OP, but tons of people would post something like this because they’re struggling with such issues. Plus if platforms start disallowing such content, you likely also won’t be able to discuss it in a serious manner, which is a huge problem.

          As a disabled gay furry satanic guy (cis so no bingo, sorry I know I’ve failed you all :p) who struggle with suicidal ideation (and several friends who do as well), while the thought is nice, we all laugh at pictures like this. If we were going to do it (which several have tried, a couple multiple times), it’s not the dark humor picture that’s the tipping point. If anything, in my experience, the dark humor helps by bringing trusted friends and community together, instead of forcing oneself to believe that they are alone in this shitty existence we call ‘life’.

            Agreed. The image is just a literal example of gallows humor, which definitely has a time and place, but I just don’t think this one crosses that threshold. Levity can help people work through darker situations.

      If this picture is the final straw for somebody to kill themself then there’s nothing stopping them. There are much bigger reasons than a picture they see online.
