What a pisser.

Wrong in so many ways.

I agree with several other folks on this thread. Does "adult concepts" cover things like unemployment and dealing with serious illness, 'cause if that's the case, I might as well flag down my entire LJ right away and beat the rush...

I'm wondering if that's where the gay people are going to get shoved. LJ will say no, but when people start flagging what will really happen?

I also wonder when depressives are going to get banned for talking about self-injury and suicide attempts/ideation.

God knows that they aren't going to do jack about people who go into depression comms and tell suicidal posters to "cut down the street, not across the street!"

In case you only read comments from your email and are all "I don't want to open new tab [[whines]]", I'll quote the same reply I gave rm:

"I was thinking gay people and depressives would get shoved over in the Explicit Adult Content section. Along with suicide.

Interesting, since I was 16 when I first tried to kill myself (obviously, I failed, and I'm fine now ;))."

Though I do wonder if discussing what antidepressants work best for the most amount of people would be considered explicit adult, since only adults are supposed to be on antidepressants (they'll fuck with your brains, yo! Make it so you no longer wanna off yourself from the gene pool!).

Which is fascinating to me, because lots of people on the depression com lately have said they started anti-depressants in their teens, some as early as 12 or 11. Generally they aren't supposed to be given until you're over 18, but with an extremely depressed children and adolescents, I guess it's often a case of trying medication or risking a successful suicide.

:D Oh I do read comments in both email and LJ, but if I don't get a reply to a comment in a particular thread, I often stop watching it/get distracted and forget I said anything.

Yeah wouldn't it be interesting if a comm like depression got put on adult status? Particularly as most of the people who show up there are minors looking for reasons NOT to self-injure or attempt suicide?

I'm so glad that you failed in your attempt! Seriously. Hearing that people failed to end their lives and are doing better now makes my day, no matter if I've known them for years or if we've just met.
