RE: There Is Nothing Wrong With Suicide

in #suicide7 years ago (edited)

Um.... I looked up information about this Blue Whale game. No one is forcing anyone to "play" it, or to jump off a building or whatever the final challenge is to kill themselves. It's pretty much sheer stupidity and Darwinism in action. Bottom line is yes it IS in fact the decision of the person that is playing the game and then chooses to do something stupid to get themselves killed at the end of it. If someone is stupid enough to jump off a building because an online game tells them too? They probably were choosing to kill themselves.It's insane to try to blame other people for someone else's choices. because: Personally responsibility, and brains, and stuff.

Just boggled by the ridiculous hysteria over this Blue Whale nonsense, as if a teen mafia was abducting innocent people from their beds and holding them at gun point and pushing them off a roof to "commit suicide by other people's choice". What the heck is the matter with people that think this way? Sorry, but I hail from a day when there was a such thing as common sense. Apparently that's gone missing in a large portion of today's population.

Well, I have to say, you are totally underestimating the blue whale game. You probably don't know that a skilled person can actually play with your mind. I have met with a mystic, who made me lose my anger in a second and who told my accurate past which not even my parents knew. I have mentioned about that in one of my older posts here. https://steemit.com/story/@siddartha/mystics-do-exist-my-first-and-only-contact-with-one

Anyways, about the blue whale game, these admins target people who are in depression or feel low confidence for some reason. You don't require a gun to make people do what they wish, there are just ton of other ways. Like humiliation, blackmail etc. I'll just say that maybe you haven't never seen the bad days or probably you have managed to dodge all the weak points in your life. But everyone is not so strong.

I suffered sudden hearing loss two years ago and basically went deaf overnight. And had to live like that for at least four months until I could get a a powerful hearing aid which allowed me to hear only 4/10 words in a sentence. Then I had to wait another six months to get a cochlear implant. I also endured vertigo attacks, permanent damage to my balance, and constant screaming tinnitus for about 4 months. So, I would probably say that your assessment of my dodging bad days or weak points is way off base.

Honestly, if someone is stupid enough to do anything harmful to themselves because some stranger tells them to is probably weak-minded or just plain stupid. As to your point about the person being depressed already, well then I don't think you cane blame the game. Maybe the person is playing the game as an excuse to blame the game for their suicide because they are too weak to even take responsibility for their last act. Regardless of why, people do have a choice. A choice to play the game. A choice to kill themselves. Choice choices choices. Don't blame a game for the choices. I think the entire thing sounds really stupid. Maybe it will be a good thing for the species to weed out people who are so weak and easily brainwashed. Needless to say, I don't have any respect for some wimpy person that chooses to play a suicide game knowing that if they do ultimately follow through, people will blame the game for what they did and not them. Maybe this is just weak people's way of choosing suicide while scapegoating the blame for their choice!

Well, I will just say, don't even think of this playing these game. You are in your world. If you somehow end up playing it, then there is no coming back. Everyone is weak in this world in their own ways. If you know the other person's weakness, you can play with their lives. This is what this game does.

See, that is where I don't agree with you. I could play this game, and send them an email telling them to screw off if I got to a thing I didn't like. I probably would not choose to play only because it seems utterly retarded and a frank waste of time. Saying there is no turning back because of the game is hogwash. Anyone that plays the game and the commits suicide wanted to commit suicide anyway and would have latched onto some other excuse to do it. Nothing to do with a stupid "game".
