Absolutely, even the people he named in his note aren't really to blame in any real way. I've only brought it up to highlight the absurdity of Karl Jobst maliciously slandering Billy Mitchell as being responsible for the death while the guy who killed himself literally went out of his way to name specific members of the "speedrunning community" in his note for 'giving him the final push he needed'.'The whole debate about "Who really caused Apollo's suicide?" is absurd, no matter what. It was a fucking suicide. He killed himself. Outside of ultra-extreme situations, I give zero blame to outsiders. Least of all total internet strangers.
Jobst claiming Billy was responsible for the death is already unhinged on its own but his direct association with the people named in the note makes it that much more ridiculous and kind of makes it seem like some kind of weird projection.
But I wouldn't go as far as to say they are actually responsible, I do not think that is the case at all and it is a horrible thing to put on someone - that's why Jobst doing that so flippantly to Mitchell is disgraceful.
Naming people in your suicide note is kind of shitty thing to do anyway, not to speak ill of the dead here, but at some point you do have to take some responsibility for your own life and at the end of it is as good a time as any.
