Suicide rumors
I have been not active this last time, not evenfor commisions, much know that I have been put priorities in real life (super fantastic) things. So I am super happy with my personal achievements this last years.
But come to the issue I want to adress and give the title of this post. Yesterday an user from IG sent me a message asking me if I was ok, because there were rumors that I commited suicide. Obviously, I was like ???, and asked were this rumors come out and I cant say that I was suprised, since it is not the first time that certain fanbase spread rumors of a NS fanartist suicide over the Naruto final. Yes, you can guess what fanbase is. The rumor began in Facebook, I dont know if it spread to another social media and I really don´t intend to search for that comments, I am not going to waist my time in that, but I will address something that, at least to me, is concerning.
Can the fanfases of any fandom STOP spreading rumors of suicide of x or y artist over a stupidity like it is the ending of serie/ship/whatever? Really, people, this is disgusting. People suffer depression not because a series ending or a fictional character, we can feel dissapointed, but depression over it(?) really(?), depression have roots more deeps than that and a resulting suicide is NOT A LIGHT THING TO TOY WITH. Not for people who suffer depression or ended their lifes, nor for the people left behind. LET’S ALL AGREE that spreading rumors of suicide of an artist over fictional characters is not only childish, but disrespectful and, in my opinion, put this issues like it does not matter. Depression is important, depression is not a thing to toy in rumors, mental health is an item that for years have been taboo in many countries (mine included), don’t relativize something as serious as depression by making fake statement over other people.
This take me to my second point. WHY people need to make up something like this? Really, why think that if some user is out of social media for a period of time it means that she/he committed suicide? WE ALL have lifes outside social media, WE ALL have issues in our homes, WE ALL have to make priorities in some point because life outside of our screens exist. We ca have problems in home or health issues, we can be focusing on studies or even opening new paths in life because we all grow up. That does not mind that we dont enjoy making what we have, it’s just we are abble to put on hold some things to focus on others items more important at the moment. AND THAT IS OKAY AND NO ONE HAVE TO INVENT RUMORS KILLING YOU OFF.
That is all I have to say. I dont know the exact first person who began this stupidity and I don’t care. The only thing I care about it’s this patron to make rumors of suicide if someone left or is away for a time. That is not ok and have to stop, its not the first time I saw something like this from the same fanbase and that cannot continue. Like hell, we can disagree in likes over trivial things, it is not an excuse for making a fake story were, in my case, I commited suicide because naruto’s ending and supossed threats from sakura fans (really too much imagination).
