Thank you for allowing me to voice an opinion I've been keeping to myself: while everyone else is all "Oh poor Robin Williams, we will miss you, be at peace now", my feelings are more along the lines of "YOU SELFISH MOTHERFUCKER YOU ONLY SUCCEEDED IN HURTING THE PEOPLE WHO CARED ABOUT YOU."
I struggled with depression and thoughts of suicide in my 20s, so I know how much that sucks. And I have near-endless compassion for anyone who struggles against the Darkness. I will give them all the help they want and will praise them for their strength, because another day lived through is a victory.
But the moment that person takes their life, I get angry at them being cruel, selfish bastards who have thrown away a gift and deeply hurt their families. (I do make exception for people with terminal diseases who decide to check out early.. mostly because they make their decisions logically and take time to say goodbye.)
So every time I see an "oh poor Robin" post, I rage, because I know there's someone out there in a bad place who is thinking "Maybe I should do it, at least then people would love me." This is a BAD message, for exactly the same reason that giving publicity to spree shooters is bad.
Grr. Fuck you, Robin Williams. You hurt your wife, you hurt your family, and you encouraged who knows how many kids to kill themselves.
