Title: Val Kilmer calls out Anthony Bourdain for ‘selfish’ suicide
Reason: User Banned (1 Week): History of victim-blaming + presenting opinions on suicide as fact
Do better..like what, exactly? Post "RIP"? How do you want anyone in this thread of "help" Bourdain or his family? So many people here are removing all agency from Bourdain, and pretending that suicide was just an inevitable outcome of depression that he had absolutely no control over. Which isn't the case. Suicide ISN'T inevitable or something outside of one's control, and I don't know why pretending it is and removing all agency from someone who decides to kill themselves is supposed to "help" anyone. Pretending there's nothing he could have done differently does absolutely nothing to help those suffering from depression and making them feel like there's other routes beside suicide. It does nothing but make them feel like that's their only choice and fate. Claiming suicide, in many cases, can be selfish is not an "antagonistic judgement", it's a statement of fact.
