Being toxic is one thing but promoting self harm is a NO NO

My Urgot was against aRiven main with mastery 7. She manage to kill me once then acting cocky early on by spamming her mastery 7. As the match progresses, i began to stomp her and she slowly turn toxic by calling my champion no skill. Then manage to kill her another few times, thats when she start calling me out by asking me to commit suicide. Love seeing her so triggered even i barely spoke a word to her.

Did you commit suicide? No? Then it doesn't really matter

Im confused, are you complaining about her saying you should commit suicide or youre bragging how you managed to tilt her? 1st one is old news (+ its a riven main, no suprise there) and 2nd one doesnt belong on PB.

I completely agree with you - there’s absolutely no reason that losing in a video game should be reason to tell someone else to commit suicide. I do not know whether to fault the individual, parents, schools, the internet, or what - to be honest it’s likely some combination of all of these - but it’s absolutely reprehensible behavior.

I am encouraged that more jurisdictions are arresting and convicting people for encouraging suicide through the internet/texting/messaging/etc - maybe the news regarding these cases will be what is necessary to convince people to stop doing this. People claim “nobody commits suicide based on things they’re told online” - but that’s simply not true. We will never know the full impact of suicides due to online bullying because many suicides do not leave notes and parents/relatives may not even know about the person’s online activities, or not know the extent of the bullying/encouragement. If even one life is lost because of someone behind a keyboard trying to be “edgy” and encourage someone else to commit suicide, it’s too many lives lost.

While there’s an argument for human tendency to get frustrated and be angry at people, leading to flaming behaviors, there is absolutely no human tendency to tell others to end their own lives simply because you are frustrated with them.

Its a NO NO, but you loved seeing it? Lol. See how little impact her words had? You actually enjoyed seeing her desperately trying to offend you. I wish everyone had this mentality. It doesnt matter what they say, theyre just trying to get under your skin, and its your choice to give them that power or not.
