Because I should treat an idiot who decides that taking their own life is some kind of superior being and not the piece of shit dirtbag that they are. Explains Cobain ffs.
Good actor, piece of shit human being who proved to ultimately be a waste of space.
And before people go preaching about depression, I have suffered from it in the past, and guess what. its as simple as occupying the mind and preventing boredom. TV & videogames in moderation, be active, be social, get over it.
The most extreme post in this thread so far. I still don't understand the jump in logic from acknowledging Williams was a comedic talent whose life will be remembered for making the world a little happier... To "Well fuck him all along then, piece of shit idiot" for killing himself. Where does that easily sparked hatred come from, knowing of the man's legacy and work? Do you believe he just did it for attention or something?
Apart from your last paragraph which has some merit, everything else in your post is ridiculous. When I ask why people are saying he doesn't deserve our sympathy in light of his suicide, I am not trying to portray Williams as a "superior being" who did something noble in death. I'm wondering how the hell that negates his career in comedy and the years he spend making us laugh in our childhoods. "Waste of space"? What drivel.
I really do respect the fact that you found a way to deal with your own case of depression. I assume this was a long-term thing that affected you for years, rather than merely a phase that came and went. If that's the case and you know what their pain is like, then I don't get how little patience or sympathy you have for those who can't find that way out yet.
I get where the "Man up, deal with it" attitude comes from but I'm afraid it's not that easy for a lot of people. Modern research has shown there's simply more to it.
I'll end this post with a tiny bit of the article on William's suicide I put up earlier. The part that asks for more explanation from the "suicide is selfish" posters, since I doubt anyone read it:
But if someone is genuinely depressed and feels their life is worthless, seeing that others consider their feeling selfish can surely only emphasise their own self-loathing and bleakness? It suggests that people will hate them even in death.
Maybe you know some people who have “attempted” suicide purely for attention? Fair enough; a debatable conclusion, but even if you’re right, so what? Surely someone who succeeds at committing suicide is a genuine sufferer who deserves our sympathy?
Perhaps you feel that those expressing sorrow and sadness are wrong and you need to show them that you know better, no matter how upsetting they may find it? And this is unselfish behaviour how, exactly?
Another thought... By the same logic, couldn't some absolute prick be justified in telling the grieving family to get over it and man up? Because how selfish it would be for them to dwell on their lost loved one. Don't they know he's already gone and there's nothing they can do anymore? What about the poor African kids who have the real problems?
So maybe this weekend while people are enjoying their movie marathon and appreciate the talent we've lost, you can keep stewing in hatred.
