At 11:45 on Sunday, I was on a phone call with Near. They’d just taken a large overdose of codeine and guanfancine. I saw a photo of the noose. 30 minutes into the call, Les Voyages De L'âme by Alcest started playing at the other end. I wouldn’t hear their voice again. “Near took their own lif...

It's always heartbreaking to hear of somebody take their own life due to cyber bullying.  Shame so few internet trolls face consequences for their actions.  It's completely fucked how many people out there find pleasure in pushing strangers to the point of suicide for the "lulz".

I'm not familiar with Kiwi Farms. I've heard of them, I know they're bad, but I don't know specifics. 

 

I went down this rabbit hole the other day going through the origin of those really weird sonic fan art pics. I guess that’s how this originally started, basically a page made to troll this guy with mental health issues over his bad sonic comics and susceptibility to being easily trolled to embarrassment.

 

It then expanded into i guess what is a “lolfarm” where internet edgelords and trolls go to take advantage of people who are easily trolled into revealing embarrassing detail or just giving a general reaction and such for their amusement. The joke I guess is that these people are reacting to things, even if those things they are reacting to is real life harassment, it’s somehow a joke.

 

Of course this often means they pick easy targets such as those with mental health issues. Also like so many terrible things this of course is an offshoot of 4chan.
