    Im gonna watch vids of her getting ? to celebrate her memory later.

    Make sure it’s her older stuff. She really did a number on herself. I can’t believe she was only 23.

    Her death had nothing to do with ? industry. It's not that deep. She obviously had inner demons she was battling. I mean she chose pornography as a profession, there had to be something more.

    Still it doesn't make sense to me why every time someone makes a thread about anything ? in general, they ALWAYS do major numbers. The most successful and fastest growing threads on the IC this year, have been ? threads. I bet if someone creates a thread with ? AF in the title ? will send it platinum SMMFH.

    Why're you acting like people haven't talked extensively about her mental illness?

    You can be mentally ill AND be cyberbullied by ? (which she was).

    I haven't gone through the thread past the first page but I bet if I did I can find the source of the argument is prolly them thinking she did this because she didn't want to lay with a ? actor.

    Maybe I'll go through it later, I tend to avoid the ? threads because well I'm just not interested in the topic. The only reason I'm in here is because I was @'ed and you're also one of my favorite posters NH. I'm sure you're prolly making the argument for mental health issues but I'm not sure that's the reason for the rest lolololol. It's a weird phenomenon on the IC, as homophobic as the IC is I find it funny that when a thread with just the word ? in it is made, ppl flock to it and start posting dissertations. There's a thread about Tupac's ? for crying out loud that's on its way to platinum status SMMFH LOLOLOLOL.

    Thats part of it though.

    You can't really separate the cyberbullying from the act of suicide, especially when individuals were telling her to ? herself.

    There was a thread about a girl bullying a boy into killing himself too. That kid also had mental health concerns, but that didn't get her off the hook.

    It shouldn't get them off the hook either.

    I didn't put it in the thread because it's a rumor but I heard she hung herself.

    Yeah but ? wasn't even in the thread title. It was the fact that a pornstar killed herself is what brought us all here. It was ? on social media harrasing her though. Facts

    Females and lgbt ? have this borg hive mind mentality. And they turn on each other so quick.

    They condemned her for expressing her preference on who she chooses to ? with.
    They felt entitled to her. Which is bogus af.

    The lgbt movement is ? up in general.

    I think ? are concerned about that ? for subconscious reasons. The left for the last 15 years has used lgbt complaints to spearhead left wing fascism. Where as before lgbt issues were about overt discrimination which varied in veracity. Nowadays it is about coercion and penalizing those who don't get down with their program. As well as shoehorning heterosexuality together with every negative connotation.

    You have trannies who will say it's transphobic for a straight man to not consider them. Also if a lesbian doesn't consider them.
    ? people turn on bisexual ? all the time, don't really consider them part of the movement.
    Terfs are feminists who won't ? with transgenders at all.
    Feminists are all about men rejecting gender roles and heteronormativity because they consider it a package deal under patriarchy, but they be down for outing ? for ? and giggles.

    I learned all this my first year on tumblr

    It is, especially since whenever they want to defend their movement, they do so by comparing it to the Civil Rights movement.

    This is why saying "? ? " will likely get the lgbt hammer brought down on you. They've made it so people don't even consider a grown man ? a boy or a grown woman ? a girl as ? /? ? but "? ", as if the two can't go hand-in-hand and got it so we no longer view it as a ? problem at all, but a straight one. A man can ? hundreds of boys but he'll never be considered ? in the public's eye, and that's exactly how they want it.

    WTF you so angry about, champ?

    Lol..some of you seem more sympathetic over this porn chick than what I've seen for children bullied into suicide. Here's looking at you LordLamo.

    It's because ? made her do it.

    IC has a weird obsession with ? .

    Its more about PC culture than it is about "da ? " though.

    The circumstances behind the cyberbullying is ridiculous, people need to learn when to unplug from that ? .

    People don't get it.

    No matter how unpopular or objectively stupid the opinion people in the US have a damn right to express it. Don't like it? Ignore it.

    The fact that people berate and belittle others so much for speaking their mind & that that type of behavior has been normalized in a country that always loves to brag about the first ammendment is backwards as ? . Also pretty disturbing.

    "Say whatever you want until it offends me then you're pond ? worthy of death". No wonder these 90s babies are so ? up and warped. Remember when the youth was the one who used to get scolded by the prudes and over emotional ones? Now the youth ARE the prudes and over emotional ones. So weird.

    How is this kind of ? progress? Ice-T warned us "Freedom of Speech...just watch what you say" years before this girl was even born. Then she ends up committing that because she didn't heed that old ass advice over 20 yrs later. Shouldn't we have been past that point by now? crazy.

    Of course people have the freedome to express themselves. But the idea that that right also comes without consequences or reactions to said speech is something people don't seem to grasp. Its not that people aren't saying what they want it seems to be more they can't handle any actual objection or challenge to what they say

    There's definitely a lot more thin skinned people nowadays than any other era that I could ever recall. Yeah. At the same time there are also a lot of people who lose track of the fact that there are a lot of thin skinned people around in this world today. So the mature option is to always thread lightly.

    The minute she caught feelings they should've dropped it and moved on. Yet they kept egging on a mentally & emotionally vulnerable person and many of them knew it. There's an equal amount of selfishness and maliciousness in the world today to compliment the thin skins. It's sad all the way around. This is us in century 21.

    A lot of social media is based on performance activism meaning people don't actually do ? but feel a retweet or hashtag or cussing somebody out on social media equates to actually doing something. Those are the people who tend to go the hardest with their comments.

    And yes people are more thin skinned but we also live in a world where ? comments and people coming at you can literally follow you everywhere you go. Damn near everyone has a smart phone and if you happen to work in a profession that puts you in any form of spotlight people have access to comment on your life and majority of people simply can't handle that type of scrutiny even if you aren't a thin skinned person. That will wear on any one

    I agree this is why I said "thread lightly". I can't stand biting my tongue. My whole life for better or worse was based on "keeping it real". Sometimes it went wrong and many times it went right but I was always unapologetically me.

    Until PC culture went into overload. Now I'm very careful with my words out of respect for the sensitivity of others. I bite my tongue a lot no matter how much reason I feel I may have.

    Even on here sometimes and it's an anonymous forum. Simply because I recognize the emotional identity of the dialogue and many times see people here being easily triggered by things that were never intended to trigger them. Just intended to spark a dialogue.

    Words clearly have to be used more responsibly now so I either watch what I say or say nothing at all.

    People are just far too easily triggered now. This is definitely the era of following granny's sage advice: "nothing nice to say? say nothing at all" more often than not. For better and worse.

    I agree. Social media has convinced people their every thought should be shared and that ? simply ainy true. Some ? is better kept to yourself

    Depression can literally cause a chemical imbalance in your brain...so telling someone whose brain isn't functioning normally to take an action a normal person would take ie "just log off" makes no sense.

    Yes it does. They still understand it. They might be too egotistical to log off but they still get it.

    If you're suffering from depression then your issue isn't being too egotistical. The problem is you don't have enough of an ego to ignore it and know how you feel shouldn't be determined by as many outside factors as you are susceptible to.

    Tumblr is the place where the bulk of these ridiculous ideologies are born. I guarantee you "? ? " and "manspreading" were born from the mind of a Tumblr activist.
