| Do you think anime fans tend to have suicidal tendencies more often than the general populace? A MAL user killed himself yesterday and livestreamed it. |
| I know I have, but I can't generalize about the rest. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| People are committing suicides for many reasons these days, anime can be one of it. |
 |
| That sucks :/ . I mean many people have tendencies like that, but you can’t generalize something like that though. I personally don’t and haven’t ever and I think it just really depends on the circumstances of each person. Still though I’m sad to hear that that happened. |
 |
| well, anime is a form of escapism to some. that alone is enough to prove that many have problems and thus are suicidal to an extent . . . someone killed themselves and livestreamed it? |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| It's more nerds in general and they escape their reality through fiction. Plus most anime fans are anti-social which doesn't help their problems. |
 |
| yes. i almost killed myself when i lost a match in overwatch yesterday, but then i looked at my azula poster and decided not to |

Did he state the reason as to why he did it? I woulda thought that anime would be the place that people turn to when they can't handle real life. I don't think there's much of a connection between anime + suicide |

| No, there is no chance in hell I'd ever kill myself, I detest it and those who do it are self-absorbed, insensitive, idiots who only think of themselves and don't think about the pain they'll cause others when they do it. |

| There are so many bad animes that one of them could be a cause of a suicide, yes |

| Anime and suicide could be related to each other but then again for anime to have an impact on a person it would need to take so much of their time that they would start to become anti-social |
| Anime has commonly presented violence as an option which includes suicidal tendencies or self destructive behavior This is not limited to being a hikimori, but also violent rage which is often depicted in anime as heroic while in real life it's nonsensical. Many anime fans are unable to come around this fact and thus you have tragedies like this occur Anime should have more laws that dictate its plot to be more family friendly than let a lunatic artist freeflow his creativity. Only then could we prevent tragedies such as this one where people kill themselves. He caused so much pain to his family, and he put anime music on top of it. Not only is it disrespectful to his own life, he's made his parents dreaded with sorrow emotions with anime music. I have zero respect for the dead fellow but I seriously feel bad for his family and friends who have to find out that he live streamed his death with anime music in his room that showed how obsessed with anime culture. What a shame! |

That’s sad stuff though. Okay... does the video show him blowing his head off!? Yes and no. He does it on camera clearly and you see a bit on blood, but the kick of the shotgun sends him back so you don’t see his head or anything. Still I wouldn’t watch it if you don’t think you should. Edit: by blood I mean you see it on the walls and shit. |

(since I am not gonna watch that shit) he splatted good on the walls |

| From a comment on his profile, someone stated that his friend said that he got into an argument with his mum, don't quote me on this but it's just something to consider that it might not even be related to anime in the first place. |
|
| For me I watch anime for entertainment purposes it's not a escapism for me. Any kind of media could be a escapism for anyone who wants to escape reality it's not just anime. |

| What watching too much anime may bring with it might make you commit suicide, like never going out, not taking to people, spend all your money on figurines and pillows, that sort of stuff. |
| Maybe more people with suicidal tendencies flock to anime, or fiction/art in general. Or maybe it's just equally spread. I don't know, I don't have the statistics. That being said, anime isn't to blame. No piece of art is to blame. If it wasn't anime, it would have been books or video games or other TV shows, and we'd be pointing our fingers at that. If we want real solutions, we should be focusing on increasing awareness and resources, not blaming artists. I believe he's in a better place now. |
 now i will tell you what ive done for you fifty thousand tears ive cried maybe ill wake up for once screaming deceiving and bleeding for you and you still wont hear me going under dont want your hand this time ill save myself just when id thought id reached the bottom im dying again |

Surely good thing they did I was not going to watch it anyways. |

| Okay.... So apparently it's on the news now. And you can watch the video too. It's kinda shocking. I've never heard of any anime fans committing suicide. I've got irl friends who watch anime, but none of them would take such extreme measures. Apparently I can't watch the video because I'm too scared to watch it tbh. |

Dude that guy committed suicide over an argument with his mom...not due to anime (that's what is mentioned in this thread..) If it's on the news, it's worth watching then... Well the kid achieved his aim of posting the video... Oh okay, didn't know about that. The video I saw was only 30 seconds long. I watched it till the moment he started to point a shotgun to his head and then just closed that tab. Scary shit. |

Air-117 said: what are u kidding me. I think absolutely no how can u end urself for anime. In my case anime really inspires me and it really helps me. Also if you have any traumatic exprerience and any anime might hurt you then also why you will kill youself...why?Do you think anime fans tend to have suicidal tendencies more often than the general populace?

Anime is still related tho as, hopefully, it was a way fo him to cope w/ problems before he couldn't take it anymore. How old is he btw? |

| well as has been stated 100x by now.. anime attracts depressed, insecure, socially awkward etc people and those are obviously going to be the kind who are most likely to want to die its so sad, especially since many of them take it out on eachother as we see every day here Air-117 said: A MAL user killed himself yesterday and livestreamed it.

| I don't know, but at least I don't have any of these tendency. Being alive is kind of fun though, there is food and anime, and I need to take care of my Mom. |
| it’s actually very sad that anime is always linked with depression or some sort of mental problem and for me, the platform is not problem, the problem itself lies in the disorder that some people have. i never seen an anime who encourage us to do something awful like that, well maybe there some with a darker theme, other than that, it’s fine. it actually can give you relief and good time but i wont make any assumption, he’s probably has his own circumstances that we clearly didnt know why. and maybe it’s unrelated to anime. and this is just extreme man, god. using a gun that powerful, and he livestreamed it, is he been bullied? are there people actually encourage him to do it?, may he rest in peace. |
