This has the same energy as the "Great Sonic-cide" of 2007.
Bunch of dumb kids in the Sonic fandom on deviantart wanted more pageviews and attention, so they posted "for each other" on various user accounts that the owner had committed suicide, or were very sick from attempted suicide.
They were all 11-14, and some of their friends, also the same age, were so upset by their friends "dying/attempting suicide" that they had near breakdowns, drew memorial art of their oc's- and then were DEVASTATED when they found out their "friends" had faked it all for attention.
This kind of manipulation for attention is gross as fuck, and as someone who's chronically ill and disabled, had a cancer scare, and has to see a doctor multiple times a year for Chiari Malformation, this shit makes me SICK.
If I were more of an asshole, I'd leave a comment on their profile along the lines of "Oh, glad to see you are healthy again, what illness did you beat?" just to see them scramble to save their ass.
