Parent blames DDLC for kid's suicide
| Link?
| Also the game opens with a disclaimer so
| The media now are just shitting themselves and panicking over DDLC. I honestly feel it should of stayed an obscure, niche VN instead of blowing up as it would avoid freakouts like this
| Oh god. As usual mainstream media doesn't understand how to deal with suicide. Hint: it's by treating people with respect and care not removing all media with suicide in it from viewing.
| I just searched up the news. I feel sorry for the kid and his parents, but it's dumb to blame DDLC. It had a trigger warning, and the parents should have known how to care for their son.
| The worst bits are the fact the article makes shit up saying that the game was linked to his phone which sent him texts.
“It is free to download but once you get into it, it will not leave you alone. The characters befriend and love you and give you tasks to do but if you do not do them, they turn nasty.”
| This, too, will pass.
Just remember the kid who tried to get his arms chopped off to be like his Katawa Shoujo waifu.
Or those teens who tried to sacrifice a girl to Slenderman.
Or the numerous actual shootouts that have occurred in response to losing a game of Counter Strike.
Or the dude that chopped off someone's head with a real sword after said victim stole his WoW account.
or...

Now that's a metal way to go.
| >"The police cannot find to what extent he was playing the game because the game deletes your own saves, but we do know that he was also watching people on YouTube play it as well."
anyone who knows the game could tell you where they were at
| >>337379 lol@the person being so dumb that they didn't realize you're supposed to keep playing after Sayori dies.
It's not kind to speak ill of the dead but...
Well, the gene pool is probably thanking him for stepping out.

Every person with something wrong in the head should be treated with care, respect and understanding about their condition, be it suicidal, depressive, autistic, pedophilic, etc.
| >>337820 Whoa there, autism is not like those other conditions. It's not a mental illness nor a harmful trait.
I'm autistic myself. We don't need a cure, we just need acceptance and understanding.

| I hope the kids is not the g/u/rl who said that she is like sayori.
>>337857 wait until I get a steady income.
| >>337843 I feel bad for saying this but the post you replied to said "treated with care" so it looks like you agree
| >>337820 I agree, except when I treat pedo like this, gurls would jump on me and call me pedo too.
| >>337843 The post is just saying that you should be respectful and caring of all people with abnormal mental states, they weren't trying to imply there's something wrong with autistic people.
Additionally, I'd like to add that there are differing severities of autism. There are many people who you wouldn't even know are autistic if they didn't tell you, but in orher cases severe autism can completely shut down a person. I've personally seen autistic people incapible of speaking.
| >>338039 I didn't agree to lumping autism together with suicide and depression. It's a different matter.
That's basically saying my very existence is inherently bad.

I really didn't mean that and I'm sorry if I offended you in some way. What I really want to say is that we should be aware that not everybody works the same way as we do and we should always try to reach an understanding between everybody.
I also want to mention that I have very big differences about pedophiles and actual child molesters, one of them is already too late for an understanding.
| Blaming video games is such a old Western parent yhing to say. They always try to blame it on something but themselves

| Let the kid die.
One less little shitheel in the decaying world.

| I think this is stupid, you shouldn't blame your kid's suicide on a vn due to your lack of parenting. The parents should of got him a therapist immediately.
