How our community handles death

I don't know nuthin bout no archiving but here's the caps

Someone with a fancier name than mine should add them to the thread.

tl;dr

I don't feel bad because I honestly think Mike did it. Julie was all bark and no bite.
I feel a little sad that a young girl never escaped her insane boyfriend and experienced what life had to offer, but not bad. I didn't contribute to her death.

*puts on tinfoil hat*

In the wake of this whole mess, I'm a bit disappointed at the duplicity shown by some of the users here. You have people who were fine to laugh at Julie last week who now want to pretend they give a shit she's dead. Let's look at this realistically:

We were fully aware this was a risk. We seem to want to pretend we weren't, but we knew this little shit wasn't right in the head, and she very well might kill herself at some point. We then chose to do a thread on her, because having weighed that risk, we determined that we'd rather have a laugh at her regardless. Now she's offed herself and people want to pretend they didn't see it coming or that they're good people who miss her and feel terrible?

Bullshit.

The Kiwi Farms is essentially the modern interpretation of a freak show. By virtue of using this site and contributing to it, you are probably not a very good person. You're having a laugh at the expense of some sad, broken little fuck, and you do it because it's funny to you.
Waiting until the obvious happens and then virtue signaling because you've got trolls remorse is egotistical, duplicitous, and self-serving. Nobody gives a shit she's gone. They didn't give a shit about her last week, they don't give a shit now, and they're not going to give a shit next time either.
Don't get me wrong, I love this site and have a lot of fun here, but claiming the moral high ground because you want us to believe that you never saw this as a possibility is a lie the community should be unwilling to indulge.

Everyone knew from the start Julie's family didn't give a single shit about her and would never help her (not that she'd even let them, with her nasty personality), but suddenly now that she's dead everyone here assumes their mean internet posts are what set her over the edge. Julie was screaming for attention from her parents and even mentioned how suicidal she was to her grandma and apparently no one ever bothered to suggest she gets help besides hiding herself away in a boiler room. The most any of them ever did was just post a stupid facebook smiley in reaction to her mentioning her depression or showing her goddamn throat wounds. That's not even adding in the trainwreck known as Mike who also preyed on Julie because of her retardation and lack of a supportive family.

Kiwi Farms had nothing to do with her horrible life, her horrible attitude, or her horrible choices. Give me a break.

How dare you say we're not so vastly important that everything we talk about, we're responsible for everything that happens after we do?

Lol.

I don't know if any of you had the pleasure of seeing World's Greatest Dad, but that's what this situation reminds me of.

Spoiler: relevant movie spoilers

Basically the premise is that there's a father and his absolute shitstain of a son, Kyle, and the father desperately tries to get along with him to no avail. Literally no one likes Kyle because he's such an asshole. Eventually Kyle accidentally kills himself via autoerotic asphyxiation and the dad finds him first and stages his death as a suicide by hanging and then he writes a suicide note for him. Suddenly everyone at the school where the father taught and Kyle attended were like, "Oh if only we knew Kyle's suffering! Kyle and I were best friends! He was such a kind soul!" Kyle only mattered after he died, basically, even though no one liked him or gave a shit about him.

On another note, can we get a Kill Count, or a KDR board, or maybe a Dead Pool going with Good Boy Points?

I think it could be a lot of fun.

claiming the moral high ground

The assumption that the sympathy of others is disingenuous is equivalently narcissistic.
You can laugh at and make fun of a person, while still feeling sympathy for them.
Absolute hatred or love are very rare things, and often times people are capable of multiple conflicting even paradoxical emotions.
Objectivity in the pursuit of satiating curiosity is the aim but things are never so simple.

While I agree we don't have much ethical ground to stand on, and virtue signaling is the most common form of egotism alive today, I don't really see anybody grandstanding or asking for pity.
If anything this place would be among the few communities on the internet with enough self-awareness to avoid this.

I laughed at Julie same as you, and still found the video of her younger self singing the Dixie Chicks to be a bit touching as well as her final posts.

No word about Julie herself, just that her "dear friend's daughter" needs money.

I won't deny, if I was involved with the Julie Terryberry threads I would feel some heavy remorse. It's silly, I know.

Also, this being such a novel occurrence, I think this thread should be featured. Julie may have been the first, but it certainly wont be the last.

 

[captn_kettle]

Julie was brought to this forum because she appreciated jack shit in her life, treated the person who looked after and housed her like shit, and sperged out at anyone who tried to help.

Do i feel sorry for Julie? No. I feel sorry for the family member who have had to endure her shit for ages and now have to deal with this? To a degree.

Just because someone has become an hero, doesn't mean they're exempt from their shitty behavior.

Yep. I honestly feel more sorry for gramma terryberry who had to put up with this sped while she was alive, and had to find her and deal with all that once julie decided adulting was too hard and an hero'd. Julie herself I really don't feel sorry for.

I posted in that thread and it was pretty fucking obvious that idiot was bucking for an early death.

It was a hoot then, and it's a hoot now. Acting like Julie did is a great way to die early. And she got what she had coming.

I felt nothing. Other than "well, I saw this coming a mile away."

 

[Sanae Kochiya]

I kinda feel bad that she's dead.

But at the same time... I never followed her thread.

It was a shit thread, she was a shit person, she's dead now, let's move on. Nobody cares, and nobody should.

Lol.

hey we got Nick Bate arrested after all it had nothing to do with that victim testifying it was all kiwis spamming the FBI with his tweets

I guess. I may not even have felt pity if I was actually active in her thread. I sure wouldn't have cared if Labelle or Wu killed themselves.

I would care if Wu killed himself. We are waiting on the game god damnit.

 

[Gym Leader Elesa]

I never followed her or her thread, but honestly, I would mourn more for the life she lived than the fact that she died. Everyone dies.

All life is precious, but you can definitely waste it. Only her life should be judged. How does it really hold up?

 

[HG 400]

How does it really hold up?

Not so well.
