Hello, well as a foreigner, i have little knowledge in US laws, and the justic system in general i know that every states has specific laws and that's all ,

with that little knowledge i have i could find something related to criminal threat https://www.shouselaw.com/criminal_threats.html

but this doesn't cover the Advocacy of suicide.

I would like to make a good copy paste text i can just send to people trying to argue in favor or threats and other such extreme behavior because "this is just a game"

but finding anything on the subject is quite hard

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CCP&sectionNum=527.6. is all else i could find , and it's about verbal abuse

thats cause youre kind of searching the wrong thing.

telling someone to kill themselves isnt a criminal threat, thats just hate speech. yes, there is a difference.

This is the kind of post that can end up being inflammatory or political even though that's not your intent. Do you have something related to League here?

So here are some laws by state for encouraging suicide (and any other related stuff): http://www.patientsrightscouncil.org/site/assisted-suicide-state-laws/

On the other hand you would have to search very hard to find a judge who would sentence anyone for writing a "kys" in an online game. You can also look up the bitch who was arrested for texting his boyfriend to suicide (TBH i found that sentence stupid too, but whatever...).

Once people should really realize that words in an online game from a stranger (who you can mute), has literally 0 power... If you do not like it, you mute it and move on. Even the current system is a huge overkill of the "problem", bringing in legal stuff would be absolute batshit crazy.

If you find anything, may I ask you let me know. This would be very helpful haha, I just had to find some hate crime laws in europe to prove to an idiot that disability can be considered a serious insult
