That's the thing, they think they're essentially perfect, who needs to improve is everyone else. All they ever do is lash out at everyone else for failing them and there's always one more person that's the new problem that's holding them back from perfection. Even in this phony despair they spent how many of the posts attacking an admin they refuse to name, practically begging people to ask about it so they can attack them further in detail, centering the "abuse" as the cause of the "spiral" that they suggest is simply their intentionally chosen life.

This is the reason these types of people collect mental issues like the "psychosis" vaguely mentioned, they want excuses for their behavior not actual problems of the self to address. This requires effort and critique discovering just how wrong you are and can be. For the most part, this premise is always rejected rather than considered as relevant knowledge.

This sense of analyzing the world is why they always default to the "only solution" being some drastic scorched earth destruction of everything that others should do for them. (Or in this case, "stop" them from doing.) The suffering justifies it, I'm suffering so you should do whatever I want so I stop suffering. Since what I want is unobtainable then I'll always suffer and you should always be doing what I want.

If you think everything bad is caused by sinister outside forces you have no incentive to change the one thing that actually possibly hypothetically is in your control to change: yourself. It becomes self-justifying to frame everything as outside your control, you escape blame but also serenity, the lack of which explains your lack of control.

Shame, I'm pretty sure I've seen the guy make sensible posts every once in a while, pushing back against the RE hivemind. That post was pretty much account suicide though

Actual image of the knife Melody Shreds was 'holding to his throat while he was posting this thread':

To all of you guys feeling sorry for 'Melody'... please save your emotions for someone who actually deserves them. 

As was mentioned earlier, there are many people actually deserving of sympathy because they have genuine, real life problems. There are war veterans, traumatised by their experiences, some homeless, who don't receive any mental help whatsoever. There are children, victims of emotional and sexual abuse, or who come from other kinds of troubled backgrounds, who live with it in silence every single day. The list of people suffering from genuine mental trauma goes on and on.

Some whiny loser growing their hair and sitting on their fat ass, streaming videogames in their filthy bedroom, is not one of those people.

'Melody' wanted a bit of attention and successfully managed to get it. Like 'hobblygobbly' (RIP) said, the entire post is full of manipulative bullshit. Who on Earth thinks to themself 'I'm about to commit suicide this very second, but let me make a thread about it first!' and then checks to see how many replies their posts are getting?

I also note, despite their promise in the post I took a screenshot of above, their Twitch has not been deleted. And, as negativecrepe mentioned above, the KoFi money hasn't been refunded either. Not surprising since it appears to have earned 'Melody' $810 so far (540% of $150 goal)

No doubt, Melody will be cashing in again in another a couple of months with another grifting/suicide thread.

I’d rather see these type of topics pushed into some OT or something instead of coming on here and having to roll my eyes because it’s another new thread about “haha studio spent this much making a movie and it bombed”

Why would you even want such a depressing sad sack as a user? Like ban them so they can get real help, not from part time comedians or diversity experts or black nationalist furries.
The admins admitted they screwed up during the whole Tara Reade debacle so you'd think they'd have learned something about emotional manipulation but, no.

Yes, Melody, please listen to PlanetSmasher so you can fuck your life up even more!

This is so sad. These people have no idea how to actually empower someone. "You did nothing wrong." = "There's nothing you can do." = "You're powerless to improve things."

It's GOOD to have something you can improve on. That's how you change things. These lunatics are pushing each other to the brink with all this constant "there's nothing you can do, the system hates you" mixed with all the doomposting and showing Hogwarts as the top selling game of the year.

On principle I have no problem with people rallying around a forummer at a time of crisis. It's actually quite heartwarming and having been on the other end of it once I genuinely do have a lot of sympathy for the user, because something is clearly very not right.

What I have a problem with is only letting trans clique users do it
It doesn't matter how depressed you are, threatening suicide and e-begging is exploitative and shouldn't be condoned, and anyone who doesn't understand why shouldn't be in a role where other people's well-being is in their hands. Those mods can hobblygobbly deez nuts.

Unironically, it’s why going to the gym and working out is solid advice. In the most basic sense it’s a tangible measure of what you can’t control and, over time, growth.

Quote:Kyuuji

Graham Linehan openly and unreservedly regards trans women as pedophiles and is active in trying to remove us from society. This isn't subtle or hidden in any way, it's his defining trait. He lost his wife and kids because of his transphobia, and that was before he was anywhere near where he is now.

It was like, a few days ago where you said the only thing you knew about the romans is you liked the paedo emperor because you declared him trans

It’s empowering when a lesbian does it.

Not sure why a lesbian is posting all the pics of anime girls getting railed by dudes though 🤔

Well it goes like this. Suburban furry Nepenthe is the most important person in the universe, who holds the secrets of ethics within her mind and it is her job to explain the universe to the rest of us plebs because the world is exactly how she in particular perceives it, being the god of all decisions.

In this particular instance, she is waxing lyrical on the profound problem of how people do not do research into black and minority ethnic culture before drawing Fursonas, because even if Black people didn't invent braids and dreadlocks, even if they are found over the world in all kinds of cultures, she doesn't give a fuck about any of that and is automatically right anyway. Also watch out, white gays, I'm higher up the food chain.

Spoiler:  (click to show)
my guess is she got into an argument with someone on a discord or forum she couldn't ban people on and wrote that down on her ipad pro as therapy
