Right, and why would anybody feel bad about being a contributing factor to a depressed person's misery?

If you read again you'll see I didn't actually comment on the Tina Fey must feel terrible element at all.

I think Tina Fey should feel bad for writing such a terrible, unfunny show.

Personally I found the whole ridicule of girls kept in a cellar too close to the bone (in terms of recent news stories) and turned it off in disgust.

Norm MacDonald said that he was sorry there about the man and his face there but no one knows Tina's suffering what with her wooden hand and all

And if you don't think that constant, relentless ridicule can't throw even a mentally stable person into despair, then you are clueless.

In fact, the only people I've met in life who truly would not be bothered by unrelenting criticism/ridicule are narcissists.

I am going to disagree as respectfully as I can. I feel that suicide is a symptom of mental illness. Unless it is done to end the life of someone who is terminally ill. (In that case I wouldn't even call it suicide)

She should feel bad. I would. And I like her.

21:22 here.

Just to clarify, I actually don't think in this case the guy killed himself because tina fey made fun of him.

My argument is against the claim that a person has to be already mentally ill to kill themselves over being publicly ridiculed. And I don't think that is necessarily the case.

I don't this this is necessarily the case. It's possible that being made fun of was just the last straw -- not that the person had deeper mental illness, but perhaps the person was just picked on too much or had one too many humiliating experiences.

Even people without a mental illness have their limits of how much they can take with regard to either life throwing them curve balls or people screwing them over or being made fun of.

Someone without mental illness would not commit suicide over that.

Everyone has their limits. Adults are just as capable of bullying as kids/teenagers. And if a person is funny looking to begin with or isn't very attractive and is repeatedly told that and snide/cruel/nasty remarks are repeatedly made, I think that over time, it can actually cause issues where there were none before. It's a matter of degree.

Let's say there's a guy who has 1,000 piercings. Or 1,000 tattoos. And that person is well known in the piercing and tattoo community, and maybe he does piercings and tattoos too. And he was made fun of on SNL or something, precisely for those 1,000 piercings or 1,000 tattoos. And then that person killed themselves.

Would you really think they killed themself because they were being made fun of about their looks on TV? The look they willingly and intentionally decided to manipulate with tattoos or piercings? No, that would be absurd.

This surgeon wasn't being made fun of for how he looked, but rather satirized for the things he DID (to make himself look the way he did). To call it "bullying" is a real disservice to those who are actually harassed for no reason (ie, not for totally unnecessary actions and things they DO).

Were you there when it happened or did you just hear about it through word of mouth? Omg I couldn't imagine. I don't think you can ever forget something so tragic.

We weren't there, but it has been all over the news here. One witness on the news said it was terrible because the hotel really dropped the ball on letting everyone know it was safe and all clear. People didn't know if it was an active shooter or shooters. That it was really chaotic.

That's the thing about plastic surgery. You can't fix what's broken emotionally or mentally about you, with a physical fix. You have to correct the inside.

I don't think Tina Fey should feel bad. The surgeon was clearly very broken long before this Netflix program.
