the slit your wrist smilie

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but it really offends me. I've had to deal with some of my best friends, and an ex, that had severe depression along with self harm. And I'm not talking about little fucking "I want attention" outbursts. It's a serious addiction, and I personally don't find making jokes about it funny. Even if 50% of cutters do it just because theyre goth hardcore or want attention.

Just seems there's a thousand other smilies on the net that would be better.

Okay, looks like you have been around since 02'. And how long has the smilie been around?

No one else seems to have complained. So I say it should stay.

Besides . . .

/me takes himself out out Lacy Peterson Style.

... and I suffer from Gordon Freeman/Crowbar phobia but you don't hear me complaining. If a smilie in a forum upsets you, your issues go much deeper than you think!

< I apologise to any blind people reading this forum, this smilie is in no way mocking your disability or penchant for wearing wrap-around sunglasses.

i see letters like this all the time in the tshirthell newsletter... something to the effect of:

I normally find the tshirts hilarious and/or funny, but THIS shirt that makes fun of black/autistic/cervical cancer/ jews/whatever is personally offensive to me.

making fun of other people is ok, but when you say something funny that i dont like, its offensive

But look at his face! He's clearly not enjoying it! Surely that counts for something?

I find tshirt hell to be hilarious. I'm able to take a joke quite well, actually. but the whole "go slit your wrists, stupid fuck" thing turns me off.

I can ignore lots of stuff, and the forum really hasnt been bad that often. but every time I make a reply, I see the smilie and think to myself "uhg, another person making a joke about a really serious issue"

Well, I kind of did explain why I'm partial to not liking this smilie.

I've only noticed it within the last month or so. It didn't used to be on the main list of smilies. Maybe it was a "hidden" one, but I didnt notice it.

For what it's worth, I can appreciate your standpoint and it looks like you can understand VCDQuality's... This is an offensive place, somebody is always going to be bothered by something - I'm more in favour of adding sillier smilies so the "slit your wrists" one isn't quite so tempting
