    I dunno, it takes a type.

    Knew a guy online who was part of a game guild and regularly told a teenager to go kill himself for not healing him on time during raids.

    One day the Kid shot himself.

    The guy was a full on asshole in rl, much older than the kid, had a family and a job and told himself and everyone that he wasn’t at fault cuz the kid was not mentally stable.

    Like dude, regardless of someone’s mental health he is a bully with an anger problem and leaned into unleashing it on a young kid.

      I’m pretty sure in Canada it’s illegal to encourage suicide. Even if it’s legal, it’s still a shitty thing to do

        Never said it was in Canada and even if it was illegal this asshole was so committed he’d fight it. That gives insight on just how much of an asshole he is. And why no one from that time wants anything to do with him.

          I never said it was in Canada either, my point was that there are places where it is illegal as it should be

            Yes not disagreeing with you on that. Just trying to bring attention to the fact that if something is illegal doesnt mean it necessarily deters a pure asshole with intent to double down.

            I’d have loved to see the dude at least do some time for his part in that kid’s death. For what he did to that kid AND that kid’s family. And what guts me is this guy has a kid himself whom he is super protective of. Still doesnt sink in. So even doing time might not have sunk in for him but at least the dead kid’s family could feel better.
