You can't deny that, upon seeing someone trying to raise money to prevent suicide, you'd be a bit skeptical too at first. That, of course, doesn't condone the comments posted, but still.
[QUOTE=icemaz;40622816]Did she actually go through with it? cause I don't particularly want to click on the twitch stream and I'm really hoping she didn't.[/QUOTE]The video was taken down by twitch anyway, there's nothing there.

[QUOTE=mr kjerr;40622838]suicide is a selfish act, and she publicized the fuck out of it. congrats, she gets what she wants. people are talking about her suicide, and she will be forever cemented as the "person who proved what a terrible site indiegogo is, oh the humanity!"
just kidding, everybody will forget[/QUOTE]You're a dick
Jesus Christ this is the worst thing. Peace from Houston.

How edgy

Someone somewhere is always bound to have a copy of the video. It may be depraved, but once it's on the internet, there's no stopping it from leaking. Information will always find a way.
[QUOTE=Rubs10;40622794]Great site, I love the part where it says:
Just kidding. The person who wrote that is a fucking moron.[/QUOTE]
You've never come across Maddox before clearly. He's pretty...forward with his opinions on things. Getting offended by it/ him is kinda what he relies on and is his style of comedy (thebestpageintheuniverse isn't really his comedy, more his ranthole that is still up nearly 20 years later).
Blaming Indigogo for this is pretty silly, yes, they cancelled the funding, but the person shouldn't have had to rely on a website for funding, things like healthcare and mental healthcare should just be there for them. Indiegogo cancelling it sucks, but if it is against their terms they kinda have no choice. You can't have one rule for one and another for others.
The way people have been reacting to her is atrocious though, what the everloving fuck is wrong with people on the Internet, yeah you're anonymous, but that hasn't stopped people from being found before, don't take it as a "fuck you I can do whatever" card.

throw the word edgy around more, see if you can't dilute its meaning further than it already has been.

I know it's been thrown around a lot lately without thought, but "edgy" sums you up precisely right now

Why is it that it's never asshats like these who kill themselves?

This whole handwaving everything away with IT'S JUST A JOKE is almost as old as "my opinion" excuses.

she was raising money for life-saving surgery because people pirated the game that was going to pay for it
I really hope this doesn't go Amanda Todd, this woman had legitimate reasons to die, everyone hated her for no reason other than the fact that the internet made it that way.
Isn't this the second time Reddit has royally fucked up? First the Boston Bombing Suspect and now driving a woman to suicide on livestream?

Christ, I had always assumed that it would blow over and Indiegogo would realise that they fucked up and give her the money.

I wasn't handwaving it at all, I was merely stating that being as brash (I think this is the word I'm looking for here) and offensive as he can be is how Maddox writes.

wishing death upon somebody else gets agrees, while criticizing those who are selfish and leave behind people who love them gets dumbs? what is wrong with facepunches moral compass?
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;40622876]Why is it that it's never asshats like these who kill themselves?[/QUOTE]
excessive ego, fake confidence and lack of empathy

I'm not wishing death on anyone, I'd prefer no one have to die, but if anyone had to kill themselves I'd much rather it be any of those people rather than Chloe.
The american healthcare system is amazing

Right, totally buddy. Facepunch is a hivemind of blind sheeple and you're the only sane man, you're [I]above[/I] all of us stupid drones.
Keep fighting the system son.

What is wrong with you?
Also I hope you're happy Indiegogo.
I haven't been following this, how do we know it's real? I mean I'm not saying it's fake but was there evidence and shit?
I fucking hate it when people go "you're just saying this because bandwagon!"
Having similar opinions doesn't mean bandwagon, find a better argument for telling us why you're so obviously right.
I'm not talking to anyone specific here, just in general.
reminds of this that happened last month

Though, when you want to kill yourself I suppose you just kill yourself you don't turn it into a circus show like what's happening right now.
[QUOTE=krail9;40622958]I haven't been following this, how do we know it's real? I mean I'm not saying it's fake but was there evidence and shit?[/QUOTE]
The links I posted and the Twitch video prove it.
[QUOTE=Occlusion;40622798]Well that's terrible.
Was she actually a transvestite? I just can't fathom why her "last words" would be fuck you to her family, unless it was because they hated her for it.
Tragic :([/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=don818;40248626]I heard from another site that she was transgender, and the reason she couldn't pay for the surgery on her own entirely was because her insurance told her to fuck off because she was trans, and was disowned by friends and family.
Wait hold on, lemme find the article, might be a different person in the SAME EXACT situation.
[URL]http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/i-am-going-to-survive[/URL] it was here, but for some reason it's 404'd now
Also who the fuck thinks this is funny, and why?
This was the text in the indigogo thing
[h=5]I am going to survive!
"Chloe has been suffering from metal poisoning due to a bit of metal left inside her after a car accident a while back. Her family has disowned and refused to help her because she's chosen to transition, and they disagree with her 'lifestyle choice'. She only has months to live if she doesn't get surgery to remove the piece of metal soon, and her insurance refused to pay-out for her to have the surgery done.
She's only about 500 short of the amount needed for the actual surgery itself, although she needs more for the aftercare costs and the donation site fees. Hopefully you guys can help spread the word.
Thank you!"[/h][/QUOTE]
Yeah, and I tried to help her out personally. I'm kinda devastated that I didn't hear about this from anyone but facepunch.
Doesn't help me out much either since we're pretty much in the same boat.
