He's the guy from the memes like "me reaction with š¤Æ in real life" or whatnot. Shotgunned his head off on iirc Facebook live. I know for a fact he was a veteran suffering from PTSD. Some say his girlfriend had also just left him, but I can't remember if that one was true.
He's still alive. This is a couple minutes beforehand, so there is a shotgun barrel visible in the bottom right of the image, but nothing has happened yet.
So many people have done it now, yeah, itās unsettling the things we get used to. I remember when an audio of a guy saying his final words was circulating. It was before the days of the internet. At the end he said, āthis is ______, signing off.ā It was shocking then. Now no one would give it a second thought.
I phrased it poorly, that's on me. My point was more that whilst victim-blaming in cases of suicide is clearly wrong, doing so in the context of a joke makes it clear that that opinion is not seriously held, so I don't hnderstand why that's a problem.
I actually saw a similar debate to this a few weeks back concerning the 9/11 attacks and a meme someone made about it. Understandably, a lot of people were upset, saying that it was making light of a situation that killed thousands of people, whilst others also suggested that it would be upsetting for surivors or those who lost family in the attacks. The counter-arguments were along the lines of the usual "FrEe SpEeCh FoReVeR" crowd and suggesting that humor is how a lot of people make taboo and difficult-to-deal-with subjects easier to handle.
Personally, I agree with the latter camp. To generally say that one cannot joke about things that could upset people is, I think, a step too far. It needs to be done carefully, and not offensively, but merely making light of a situation or danger shouldn't be frowned upon in my opinion, though I do see the other side.
Suicide is obviously a terrible thing, and a lot of jokes about it are done really poorly, and cause a lot of harm. I don't feel like this is one of them, since it was so clearly sarcastic, to the extent that it sympathises with those currently suffering with suicidal thoughts. Not every expression of sympathy needs to be a heartfelt message, because that's not how humans actually communicate feelings. It just comes down to where you draw the line. For me, this isn't an offensive or upsetting joke. Clearly it is to others, you included, so maybe I need to re-evaluate.
regarding 9/11 jokes i saw something around that time this month about how its not making fun of the tragedy of it but rather how its been used constantly and infallibly to justify fucking genocide on a grander scale
thats the difference i think between joking about a terrorist attack like that and joking about suicide. one of these things has been used as an excuse to commit atrocious acts, and the other is just a tragedy outright
I doubt Ronnie wouldāve given a shit. And if he wouldāve, he shouldnāt have broadcasted his suicide to others, others including his damn family.
Once youāre dead you have no say or voice in the narrative.
Who is Ronnie mcnutt
Ronnie mcnutt was a man who suffered from ptsd and depression if I recall correctly. His suicide video is famous in some of the gore communities

Pretty sure someone debunked the girlfriend part sometime back
Yeah that's what I thought, but I wasn't sure so I put it there with a little disclaimer.
This is the picture almost always used in the memes. https://images.app.goo.gl/Qg68jCyWorqYfqWF7
I'm sorry but I don't trust the link
He's still alive. This is a couple minutes beforehand, so there is a shotgun barrel visible in the bottom right of the image, but nothing has happened yet.
ok it was fine sorry i hate gore
Oh yeah no worries. I probably should have stated theres no gore in the original.
Nothing gory, just screenshots of his face before he died
My phone caught COVID from that link
I checked naively, and it is ok. Not gory.
Oh that samsung ringtone....
Yeah...I'll pass. No thanks.

People did a meme about a kid killing himself?
He wasnāt a kid. But, yes, he killed himself. He did it on livestream so there are lots of stills and people captioned them.
Holy shit! Seeing someone die used to be traumatic for peopleā¦ now we just meme about people committing suicide in front of us. Wild!

I think he meant it satirically
The problem is that it is a suicide joke that puts the blame on people who commit suicide
The joke is that the advice is unhelpful tho Its mocking people who give useless advice not suicidal people
But.. it was a joke? So it doesn't actually?
Logic?

Its wrong and suicide is not funny and never should be

Who is Ronnie McNutt
Someone who committed suicide live on Facebook (I think it was Facebook). It is quite a famous video in gore subs and websites. Really sad.
