Discussion Why is someone having tons of posts on SaSu seen as a "red flag"?

[EternalShore]

I personally was aware of this site from a video "exposing" it, and after joining it I just think it's exaggerating. The fact is that there ISN'T a place for us. We get told over and over "don't do it" but when we are struggling and want help..... there isn't any. They only care when we are going to CTB. Never when we are suffering and by then, when we chose to go through with it, we already made our mind. It's so gross.

They just want us to live, so they can have their clear consciences about killing anyone with their own disrespect towards the unfortunate~ They call people loser and cut off others yet they don't want to see what the pain they cause actually results in~ In effect, we are mistreated by others but never permitted to stop it by choosing to leave~ :(

YES, glad (?) to know someone else has seen it too and I didn't imagine it. Someone could be on this site long term or have tons of posts, and it doesn't automatically equate to "they clearly have bad intentions". Which is a conclusion I've seen not only that creator make, but a couple site members. It'd be one thing if they were actively encouraging suicides or mocking them (IIRC, users have actually been banned for this), but some people talk like being here for over six months or having more than x posts means you're malicious in some way.

Not related to your post but sick pfp and banner. Undertale is amazing

Mhmmm.

Am I a "red flag" bc I have a "ton of posts" here?

I just spend a lot of time here and it rescued me for now.

I hope nobody sees me a "red flag".

i like you and think you are nice.

These people know that it's socially acceptable to say suicide is always bad, and it's socially acceptable to say this site is bad, so they want to make a video to get views to get paid and so they are saying various socially acceptable things about reasons why this site could be bad.

They can't monitize it if they say "some of these people have good reasons to die, hooray for suicide, violence and death are great" because they will get banned by YouTube who has terms never allowing pro-suicide content because only the government and corporations are allowed to say when the powerless worker slaves have permission to die.

That's all it is.

I also think this is a form of bullying, because they said those things knowing some users with high post counts will read them, and be even sadder, and don't care... because it gives them clicks. If a user has a high post count, it means they have managed to somehow stay alive. Isn't that what they supposedly want? Or is that just subterfuge for the YouTubers to hide the nasty schadenfreude they get by critiquing this site, under the guise of being pro-life and conveniently, simultaneously, conforming to the will of cruel corporations, governments, and oligopolists who demand that no one opt out of their systems.

I don't judge other people on SaSu about how long they've been here, but I really, really do for myself. I find it shameful that I'm still here, almost to the point of giving up SaSu. My inner critic is a loud bitch, screaming "why are you still here? Just fucking do it already!!!"
And my anxiety tells me that's what other people think when they see me post - "this bitch! Still??!"
But I would never, ever actually think that of someone else.
It's not a one size, fits all, universal, rigid bus schedule we're on, it's customised to the individual, their capacity, their life circumstances.
That's what I have to tell myself to pull myself out of the shame...
Give yourself grace, people keep telling me. Which is sweet & I try (& fail) but I find it so much easier to give that to others. I think I've gone right off track again, another one of my calling cards, I'm so sorry...

The simple answer is that they are bias against us, and that this results in cases where any situation that can be twisted to seem bad will be twisted to seem bad. They already have the idea on their heads that this site is a place where people encourage suicide, and that there only exists two types of people on here: those who enjoy encouraging people to kill themselves and those who are vulnerable. This results in the notion that anyone with high post counts are the former, because at their core, those people truly don't understand suicide and how difficult it can be to actually commit. They don't even consider the possibility that high-count posters are just suicidal people who for whatever reason haven't done so, or are jsut seeking refuge in the one place that won't just go "Seek a therapist, youre loved!!," because it doesn't fit their idea of what this forum is

its relatively easy when a gun is in possession u just have to make that decision. i can do it at anytime really. as of now, i wont but i always have that option

suicide is very thought out and the person is at there lowest point, all hope is lost. the former as u described here and most likely lonely people which is fine that have constant SI but still have hope which is great for them. i obviously have hope still as i havent pulled that trigger but my "hope" is on a short string with a magazine filled with bullets and a hate for life

does this answer your question?"

I probably qualify for this category of people and the answer is trivially simple:
I don't have the balls to commit suicide. That's all.

Suicide is hard, so no one should be surprised that someone is still alive, even if they keep talking about CTB.
For example, I said that I would 100% kill myself by the end of 2024... as you can see, my "plans" have changed.

I said the same thing. Believed it to be true. Wished it was. My plans changing aren't recovery, just failure to launch. Of all the things I've fucked up in a long & fucked up life, this is my biggest personal failing of all time. I have to have faith I can I still do this one, very hard thing...
