Re: cw: rl suicide

(Anonymous) 2014-01-12 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Did I say that I wanted to control how people depict characters dealing with suicide? No, I did not. I said that it's okay to not like an author's narrative choices since the critic is criticizing the author's professional work, not the author's personal therapy journal.

And, while I certainly respect the above poster's courage in discussing such a difficult and personal topic, the above poster is also not a Speaker For All when it comes to reactions to this sort of thing. That was the poster's individual reaction and certainly not a "everyone feels like me!" post. So stop acting like it was.

Considering how the OP said that they were "sickened" by the characters' reactions to Faye's father's suicide, you can understand why people want to defend this depiction of the after affects of a family member's suicide.

The OP was (intentionally or not) invalidating people's (understandable) feelings. Dealing with a family member's suicide is difficult enough without someone telling you that your feelings "sicken" them.

OP is, like everyone else, allowed to have feelings and opinions. And, if OP is sickened by the depiction of a response to grief, that's fine. Maybe OP's emotional nexus works differently. Or maybe, that same response but written by a different writer, wouldn't have the same effect.

Either way, OP wasn't calling a particular poster out and saying "YOU! YOU THERE! YOUR RESPONSE TO YOUR PERSONAL AFFAIRS SICKEN ME!" OP was commenting on a comic that apparently bothers OP.

Invalidating one person in an after-the-fact attempt to prop someone up, especially someone who was explaining their thoughts rather than asking for anon white knights, has no net gain. It does nothing for either person, especially when you're conflating two unrelated things - OP's reaction to a comic as a consumer of that comic which has nothing to do with Responder and Responder's personal opinions, other than that Responder apparently wanted to discuss it with OP.
