If I sat down and watched that whole shitty show I'd want to commit suicide too
---

"maybe"?
thats all they have ?
---

Me and my Gf tried to watch one episode but we barely made it through because we thought it was dumb and boring.
---

"I'm going to kill myself and you're going to be sorry"

yeah, that pretty much sums up the premise of the show
---

the show glorifies suicide
the message is "kill yourself and everyone will see how wrong they were for treating you badly"
its been the biggest complaint about the show since it was made
---

and video games cause violence.

buzzfeed article
so garbage reporting

but this was already known
it literally promotes the idea that killing yourself is an active solution. There's a fucking reason there was a very high increase in searches on Goolge about how to kill yourself when the show started airing that Google puts up a phone number for a free hotline for the local suicide prevention organization based on where your location is

The harsh reality is that a person's bullies would just see their suicide as proof that they were crazy and use that to justify their behavior so they don't have to feel bad. No one is going to feel sorry. The danger of shows like this is that they might convince someone that people are going to feel bad, which is motivation to do it.
