"This topic talks about the toxicity of debating online with people who are not actual trolls, but psychotic people who can't think beyond their opinion. Please share your stories.
After discussion Suicide with someone and explaining my suicide experience, the person I was debating with called me pro suicide because I don't believe a Netflix TV show is the issue to suicide problem. That I believe we need to focus on better mental health and working on helping people from bullying as well. After I stated that, he also stated that when I die I would not be missed because he thought my "support" for the show was disgusting and I was pro suicide. The fact he stated that after stating he hates pro suicide proves how crazy people have become to prove their point. Looking at the profile on Facebook, I come to realize nothing I would say would not make him calm down. When I brought up in my case it was a song that I listen to that made me contemplate, he didn't care. It was the fact I had no negative view of the Netflix show that was concerning to him. He didn't care if I said anything can be a trigger, he didn't care that I went through it, all he cared about was his view. After I pointed out his hypocrisy by calling me names and saying no one loves me if I die, he deleted it and blocked me. He ended posting his comment again and I looked on another account.
This mentality online is why I can't a civil conversation. No, he was not a troll but someone who is suicidal and depressed. His opinion was someone who can't think rationally and because he personally didn't like the show, he automatically assumed anyone who defended it or did like it was pro suicide. I watched it once, wasn't a fan but used it to talk about suicide in groups and help people. No, the debated wasn't from a group but an article on the Daily Dot. It was about the NetFlix show maybe influencing people to commit suicide, but there was not fact on it, just speculation.
This mentality online is really becoming Toxic. You can't have civil conversations any more.
Whats everyone's thoughts and stories?"
