My Nephew is dead did he do it or you?!!!Follow

I might've had some sympathy after I saw the subject the first time. When I realized he was spamming forums I lost interest.

...and what does it matter whether or not DSD had noticed that the OP was himself gay.

Funny, after you accused her of stereotyping, we learn she DIDN'T know (or likely care) that that he was. Yet you want to argue the point.

The OP is anomalous, thus suspect.

Meh.

But GFYYOUFAG sounded a bit strong, even for Monday morning.

Go fUck yourself, you ***.

I don't know, Tare, that sounded pretty good to me. Felt even better.

Yes, you did, and stereotyping gay people as being well-spoken and literate no less. Nice stereotype if YOU are going to give them one, I guess - lol, stereotype much?

It doesn't matter if we assume anything. Its a gaming forum board.

You chose to feed him ********* If his nephew shot himself dead, his nephew had real bad personal/psychological problems that go well beyond a homophobic society. If the OP is as angry with society as his post makes it seem, then he too has some problems. Coddling from strangers on a gaming forum isn't doing him a lick of good.

It's real easy to be helpful to sickos when all it requires is typing out a few ignorant, insincere, but thoughtful and kind, words on a forum, isn't it?

It's your fault. You gave your nephew teh gay, ***.

yes, Tare, I have. I mowed down 3 of them in the Target parking lot because the little fuckers weren't holding on to their moms hands. I thought I would teach the mom a lesson. And I pinged 1 more taking a left onto my street. Little kid was jaywalking. We cant have that stuff going on can we?

I actually just had time to finally dust off my DSDness and stop by to say hi

no toilet runs yet but I swear to Bob Dec cant get here soon enough. This one is already grounded for 3 months when it arrives. 6 months if it goes above the usual Baby deal they're not allowed to weigh more then 7.5 lbs or its instant 3 months groundation. Worked for the other two

Not only is it a gaming forum board, it's the Asylum. That's why I said no-one here is obligated to be supportive in any way.



How did you learn to read? I learned most of my vocabulary from context. I took you through it. Let me break it down some more. His postcount is 800 Allakhazam posts. Fact. He's not recognised in the Asylum or in the OOT by most of the people who have responded to him in this thread. Fact. Therefor I assume most of his posts have been made in one or more of the gaming forums on this site. That's a reasonable assumption given those two things. It's also a reasonable assumption that if he's posting on one or more of the MMO gaming forums on this site that he GOT here at all because he plays an MMO and wanted information. He may have gotten here some other way, but the fact remains that he stayed long enough for 800 posts, not many of them in the OOT or the Asylum.

I don't know about you, but it's been my experience that while it's easy to spam up a big post count in the Asylum or OOT, it's not so easy for individual posters to spam up so many posts per day in the gaming forums. Even when you love dishing out information on everything to do with the game in question. I therefore make the less certain assumption that he's been using Allakhazam for quite a while. If he followed my pattern, he spent most of his first year here using the search function, reading guides and asking questions and reading answers in the forum. I am not saying he has been here for say a year and a half. He may have only been here 3 months. It's possible he's been here less than three. But I think it's a possibility he's been here as long as 18 months or more, just going on averages, when you factor in the lurkers.


There's a lot of mental illnesses. Most of them are internal to the sufferer and arise from a combination of genetics with a consistently invalidating environment during early childhood, or a combination of genetics with major stress later in life.

However there is a phenomenon called reactive depression, or exogenous depression. It's a heavy state of depression that is caused by real events in that person's life, and can happen to anyone reguardless of their genetics. Very large or long-term events can bring it on. Losing your job and your home in short order can do it. Losing your spouse that you are profoundly romantically attached to can do it. And one of the classic causes of reactive depression is systematic opression or bullying. Been kidnapped, shipped overseas and sold into slavery? Beaten and confined and worked too hard with no hope of an end? Maybe you weren't a slave, but you've been looked down on all your life because of the colour of your skin, been segregated and outcast, snarled and hissed at and finally beaten up badly and left for dead for the sin of falling in love with a white woman? Anyone in that situation is vulnerable to a good deep bout of reactive depression.

How about you've been married off at 15 to a much older man you don't know, who you have to have sex with immediately and obey in everything he says. You can't escape because your family would send you back, and employers wouldn't hire you because you're female, and you have no money except what comes from your husband? Reactive depression is a strong possibility.

Ok, how about this true story from a male in my own life? He grew up in a place that used to be a small country town, but was now the outskirts of a capitol city. He was quiet and shy and used to play with his sisters a lot. His mother dressed him, and she had no taste in clothes, so she sent him to school in the same light blues and hot pinks (it was the 80s) that she dressed his sisters in. His classmates decided he was gay. He was harried in the playground, but even worse every single day for three years on a school-day, several of them caught him on the way home from school in the local reservation, and beat him physically until he was on the ground.

He was too intimidated to tell his parents. When his parents cottoned on, they were too ineffective to get the bullies to stop. The school would not take responsibility because it happened after hours and off the grounds. The parents of the bullies could not believe their beloved sons could behave in such an outrageous way and accused this boy of lying. The situation was "solved" by the boy being moved schools a long way away. Guess what? He didn't turn out to be gay after all, but he sure did have a nasty long bout of reactive depression.

We don't know if the nephew in the OP had any genetic vulnerabilities or not to mental illness. We don't know if his family environment has been an invalidating one. But either way, long term or very violent bullying or harrassment just IS a trigger for depression, with or without those prior vulnerabilities. And bullying and harassment is within the controls, domain and responsibilities of society.

If his family members had been more trained in picking up unvoiced cues, if they'd noticed his depression earlier, if they'd intervened earlier, if they'd gotten professional help for him earlier, this might not have happened. Of course, it still might have happened even with professional help. Nobby said about this OP in the identical thread in the OOT: And that's true too.

But where there is real oppression, there's real suffering and depression in many of the oppressed. That's another truth. Australia's sort of pretty good as a whole when it comes to ******. My entire social pocket is *****-friendly. But there's no doubting that there's lots of pockets of society that still hates, despises and fears them as sinful, immoral and threatening, just for their sexual orientation. Acknowledging that, and acknowledging that my society still has parts of it that does blameworthy things and needs to have some procedural changes to clear that up is just facing reality.

I'm not asking you to change. I'm just genuinely surprised that a bunch of generally bright people have read an overwrought post that is full of "you"s, and seem to have taken it that the "you"s refer to themselves personally, when to me it seems obvious that none of the "you"s are actually referring specifically to anyone here, and in fact can't be referring to anyone here. Learn to speak "Illiterate". By my reading of the OP, every single "you" was directed squarely and solely at the particular Straight boys or men that personally bullied his nephew for being gay, before his nephew committed suicide. The OP makes perfect sense when read that way.

New on Fox!

"What's My Trolldar!!!

Correctly guess the troll 10 times out of 10, and walk away with $10,000,000!!!"



If I behave nicely to a troll, I won't regret it as much as if I behave nastily to a non-troll.

I have no need to use this place to vent stress. I have other practises and outlets for that. I come here for the political conversation. I also find some of the nastiness and trolling here entertaining to read, even if I'm not inclined to behave that way myself.

The OP is not a troll. He plays FFXI, FFS. This is his reality.

Is there a better reason to eat a bullet?
