Why do we need content warnings on lemmy on mundane stuff like this?
For those people who its not mundane for.
It’s just a courtesy. As someone who’s gone through several suicide attempts myself, I understand that there are things which can be unnerving and people wish to avoid. While suicide references are, ironically, not actually one of those things for me, as I’m quite comfortable with it, I do absolutely understand the concept and that suicide references are one of the more common kinds of content people wish to avoid.
Because there are, genuinely, people in this world, in this moment, who are considering suicide so sincerely that seeing an image like this at the exact wrong moment will decide that it’s what they should do.
Oh yea, I’m sure this image is really the thing that would give that final push to a person teetering on the edge. /s
No one could be triggered by this. And if they are, they should probably stay off the Internet entirely and never interact with anyone because fucking anything could trigger them. The onus is not on the general public to cover or censor even the mere mention of suicide.
That’s a really bizarre way to spell “I know literally nothing about psychology” but you do you.
Half a year ago someone posted this image on Lemmy. I jokingly commented “Let’s commit self-deletions” (verbatim)
Well, comment removed with the reason “Encouraging suicide”. Yeah, that’s how far up their asses some mods have a stick. And probably some shit-ass users who may have reported the comment.
And I can assure you I fist-hand relate to what I joked about.
Spoiler: it’s made from wood.
I wood alright
