The original post is mirrored here, with a longer story of tree_bro's relapse, partly from in his own words. It's tragic.

a lot of the main dudes seem like maybe they are glad, or think that he is a fag for dying

FYAD seems to not give a shit but most people on twitter seemed bummed. need ade to decipher
― max, Tuesday, 24 January 2012 18:55 (twelve years ago) link
hehe yeah
it was just weird seeing that those guys' main disappointment seemed to be that some of the less brazenly sociopathic bandit/graeyalien type ones had been vaguely sympathetic about the situation
― MPx4A, Tuesday, 24 January 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
absolutely shocked that bunch of SA nerds would be unsympathetic

idk if you saw SRN's or Bloach's series of tweets but iirc they are withholding sympathy on the basis of tree_bro's apparent refusal to get help and they see "addiction is a disease" as a shitty rebuttal because he had a pretty strong support system (?) but I think Katie N.'s response is really human and tactful and addresses all sides of it and like, this is a regular-ass human being, not Joe Pa, so I wish those dudes had been a little more compassionate even if they had issues w/him but I guess that reeks of Care

yeah SRN was tweeting at me about it yesterday. and mobute is being kind of an ass about it too.
― max, Tuesday, 24 January 2012 21:27 (twelve years ago) link
I'm sure those guys will have something that is really difficult to overcome at some point in their lives and they will then go through it and still have no idea how to relate to others

and of course, showing Care on the internet is to be avoided At All Costs or it might damage your rep

"I told u I was hardcore" was one of the last things Vedas typed, and is often used sarcastically on internet message boards and discussion sites.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response

its kinda compelling imho how people react to this super real tragic event popping up through all the layers of comedy abstraction irony artifice playfulness and whatever else that characterized their relationships, their lil art project, I cant really judge people for behaving however they do, its a p peculiar situation

fyad once coaxed a man into killing himself and crowed about it afterwards, tyhere was a zero percent chance any of them would risk looking weak by displaying some kind of public emotion about the OD of this guy:

nah i mean im not surprised, i think im actually more surprised at how care-y the twetcru is

so is it cooler to care or not to care, I'm confused
― dayo, Saturday, 28 January 2012 17:18 (twelve years ago) link
oh no, this stuff is small potatoes. i was still talking about when they harassed a wikipedia editor into killing himself, and then had a huge thread where they spent page after page bragging and joking about it. only one guy on the entire forum expressed the tiniest reservation over it. the entire thing was so gruesome and cruel that i could never look at them or the board in the same way again
― Hungry4Ass, Saturday, 28 January 2012 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
yeah thats horrible, i kinda want to ask u for details, but kinda not

that's ty peppar, right, ade? I'm not really up on this stuff because I only read FYAD for the funny WET BUTT posts ("[laughs] Tiesto ftw.")

yeah when I posted in fyad circa like 2004-2005 they kinda took some stuff seriously, like it was all trying to get people banned and that was it. all that creepy net detective stuff always seemed strange to me

ivestigating is fun I think is what it comes down to, tho I dont actually know what you're talking abt, we researched a guys life here once
― lag∞n, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:41 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, but iirc, it was just research and you never did anything with it like contacting him or goading him into killing himself. Tiny difference imho.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
tbf I did later goad him into killing himself I just never told Ilx abt it
― lag∞n, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
last thing I remember was all the Flying Squid stuff which toed the line between "this guy really deserves this" and "maybe everyone needs to cool down and stop taking this shit so seriously"
