The fact that the show itself has been about love, acceptance, inclusion, forgiveness, and so forth makes this all the more tragically absurd. Add to the that when some of the SU crew asked fans to take it easy they were turned on. I am careful to avoid judging the artist for attempting suicide and especially trying to use the argument that it is only the internet and you can block, ignore, and remove those things. That idea might have worked 15-20 years ago before social media became life, but now for many people things like friends, acceptance, popularity, and even self-worth are measured in likes, kudos, reblogs and retweets, or followers. What happened may have represented a collapse of her social life and pushed her to the act. We all have a breaking point and, to quote Killing Joke, "It only takes one bad day."
