Just an absolutely gross situation from all perspectives here. Had the Tantacrul video pop up in my recommended feed yesterday and I took the clickbait. While I can understand his initial revulsion at the existence of SS and its apparent connection with Matteo's suicide, his handling of the incident has been utterly appalling.
The fact of the matter is no mentally sound 17-year old kid is going to stumble upon a place like SS and randomly decide to delete themselves. Could a suicidal youth be convinced to cross the line after some time spent browsing such a forum? Certainly. But to make an outrage video pinning the entire blame on some obscure message board, while ignoring any other factors that could cause a teenager to feel like they had no other options is disingenuous at best, and downright predatory at worst. There really are no good guys here from my point of view, but taking the tragedy of a teenage suicide and spinning it into an outrage piece to generate views for your mediocre youtube channel is some next-level scumbag shit.
It's particularly telling that he seems to have sourced much of his information from Kelli Wilson. A woman so vile that she, stricken with grief in the wake of her teenage son's suicide, managed to get herself banned from twitter for repeated calls to violence and doxing of members of a
fucking suicide forum. After hearing her monotone, emotionless recollection of details regarding her son's suicide, I can't for the life of me imagine why Junior might've felt compelled to kill himself. Tanta even goes out of his way to shout her out in multiple comments under the video. Truly an inspirational figure worthy of our admiration.
Speaking of her twitter ban, apparently she has a sock account that she's using to evade said ban. Here's a video she posted to her new account after half a bottle of wine and a couple of xanax, in which she calls out the former(?) admin of SS and admits to reading this thread.

@Markass the Worst linked the account earlier upthread, but I don't think he made the connection to it being Kelli's sock account. The rest of her twitter appears to be passive-aggressive threats (emphasis on the
aggressive) directed at members of SS. Go check it out if you like, I've personally hit my limit on how much of this shitshow that I can stomach. Time for me to go take a long, hot shower and try to forget that any of this ever happened.
