    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.

          I was going to make this exact same comment but I was going to put “I’ve never known the despair that leads a person to attempt suicide.”

          I’m glad we seem to be on the same page.
