Its completely idiotic and goes in the complete opposite of suicide prevention. For a moment, let's say Near did kill himself. And with friends who will listen to him die for 30 minutes or more and then post a manifesto like some fucked up serial killer, I'd probably want to off myself too.
Threatening suicide to get what you want has always been a characteristic of Narsassitic Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. It is a manipulation tactic designed to guilt the opposing party into doing something they wanted. Considering his thread had been inactive for the better part of a year, its quite perplexing as to why he was doing it. If it was true mental illness, he might have been going through a sort of manic episode where he became completely paranoid. Hence the offering of the money, spending on frivolous things and believing that somehow the Kiwifarms were out to get him.
Indulging someone in a manic episode is the most fucking idiotic thing you can do. You don't give them what they want, you get them to a treatment center. The gallows humor of it all is that, not only did Null not know who Near was, he had so little information he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.
The problem is that troons view this as a legitimate tactic, because they believe without HRT and SRS they will literally die because they will kill themselves. Note: You don't give in to manipulative behavior. Nobody is going to die if they don't get their meds. This is why they're saying Null 'killed' Near, because they believe threatening suicide is a valid tactic. It isn't. It is a manipulative tactic. HRT is not saving lives. SRS is not saving lives. Anyway, before I go off on a tangent, they believe it is legitimate and because Null didn't give in, he's responsible.
Personal responsibility doesn't factor into a troon's thinking. The only person responsible for Near's death (if he's dead) is Near and the guy who listened to his death rattle while masturbating. Those are the two responsible. The guy didn't even bother doing anything, which everyone overlooks. Secondly, Near is a fucking adult. He could have gotten help. He could have left Japan and went to a country with a better psychiatric system. He CHOSE not to. He CHOSE to give up treatment. He CHOSE to isolate himself. He CHOSE to ignore the advice of friends. He CHOSE to live in a country that is hostile to foreigners and doesn't view mental health in any good light. He CHOSE to kill himself. He did NOT interact with this forum on a daily basis. Nobody here interacted with or harassed him. And if they did, they didn't post about it. He didn't have to see this day in, day out. And shut the fuck up if he knew about this 'existing'. Please. If you can't handle shit simply existing, then maybe don't post embarrassing shit, because its going to be saved somewhere on the internet. If he's agonizing over a 14 page inactive thread, then he needed serious mental help. Because he wasn't forced to see us in school, in a job, in class, on Twitter. Nobody here bothered him. He had a 14 page thread that you had to look for to find. It wasn't obvious. So no, we didn't do shit. He tied the noose, he took the pills. Shut the fuck up.
You don't get to go "THEY KILLED HIM". By doing what, talking about him in a thread which you can't find if you Google it and the only way you can read it is to search the website? They have no critical thinking skills. Personal responsibility doesn't factor into it because they're never responsible for anything. Forever alone? Well, its the patriarchy and transphobia! Unattractive? Its the standards of beauty! Fat? My body is bad, it is all genetics! Untreated Mental Illness? Nobody can do anything about it because I'm neurodivergent so I'll self-medicate with weed and HRT. Can't get a job? Pottery is a legitimate major! It is the fault of the world! It is never them. They have no introspective capabilities. They simply can't look at Near and go, "Yeah, maybe he should have done these dozens of other things and that friend should have called somebody instead of giving into his serial killer fantasies." Near's death is on him and only on him.
Plenty of really shitty people have killed themselves and wrote in suicide notes to the people 'responsible', such as family, friends, partners, spouses...It isn't all that uncommon sadly. Just because you kill yourself doesn't mean it was valid to do so or you weren't a really fucking terrible person.
If it were true (I don't think it is, I'm 60/40 on it, a lot of things don't make sense), he was in a delusional manic state. And if he were Bipolar, no wonder none of the meds worked. He'd need lithium. Also note Japan is not the pinnacle of mental health care as they're ashamed by the disabled and mentally ill, and psychiatric medicine is HEAVILY restricted. Which makes him committing suicide by them extremely difficult. And not to mention, modern SSRIs and Tricyclics are EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY difficult to suicide yourself with. It'd take an obscene amount. If he had no benzos, it'd be difficult. Though if he hung himself, of course this point is moot.
