Back when the jannies were r-slurred/based (it's a fine line).
They left up a video of (if I remember correctly) that r9k kid blasting himself in the face with a shotgun after which his mother walks in on his unrecognizable corpse.
Journoids were pissed.

99 percent of people actually wouldn't find some random kid blowing his brains out to be funny

TBH man there's a point at which the abyss gazes back and that point is pretty precisely when you're laughing at a kid blowing his brains out. I'm not saying it's not got a place somewhere on the Internet: the obscene. But there's a reason to maintain taboos.
I saw a similar video of a kid and a shotgun and it was a powerful source of self-reflection. That same sense of awe at the fragility of life that I got the few times I browsed r/watchpeopledie.
It's not that it's bad, in and of itself, to permit the viewing and contemplation of such a thing.
It's that the taboo exists for a reason, and that reason is to prevent spreading the general meme of suicide. Arguably the taboo is part of what makes talking about suicide hard. That doesn't matter. The taboo is to prevent stupid suggestibility apes from taking stupid suggestions and acting on them. It's not more complicated than that.
If of your work you could be said to have led to a person choosing to commit suicide, if you were a person who ran a site whose accumulated actions were calculated to drive someone to suicide, is that the sort of thing you want to build a fan-base around? The moral culpability is real.
Like I said, r/watchpeopledie has its place.
(And that place is Groomercord.)
But I thought this place was about meaningless and harmless reddit drama or the NFT thing was fricking genius. It's one thing to engage in spats with meaningless reddit/online personalities. You choose to be a character online, so to a certain extent, reddit j-slurs/online personalities have it coming.
Obscenity is for young men, and it seems I grow older with every year. That macabre stuff, with the horse in the pond? I could do more of that though.

I'm going to go ahead and call it, no suicide videos please.
Please write detailed fan fic of suicide if you are upset by this. Put your back into it don't just repost offensive shit you found on Groomercord.

Let me be clear: rdrama.net is against obscenity and suicide. That's why we support Trans Lives Matter.

I donβt look them up, but I donβt have a strong reaction to them. Iβm not suicidal or nihilistic myself either, but there are so violent deaths a day in a really shitty world that when I do accidentally stumble across a suicide video my main reaction is βgood for them for getting out on their own terms.β
