Considering the number of death threats people give to each other because of fandom, shipping wars, and censorship, and the amount of cyber bullying that comes out of that, yes - that can play a large factor in suicide of people who are in fandoms.
Climate disasters are incoming/already happening, Cold War II is on the horizon, white nationalism is on the rise, advanced capitalism is collapsing in on itself, and the world is otherwise on fire but sure, itās the fucking āshipping warsā that are driving the kids to suicide
I try to be nice, but someoneās gotta tell you to get a fucking grip. So. Get a fucking grip and move on from the 2007 livejournal comm mindset or whatever it is thatās got your brain rotting from the inside out.
keanu reeves really went "if i were a man in my fifties, i would simply not date a 20 years old woman, rip to every man in hollywood but i'm different"
When official enemies can be presented as evil and allies as sympathetic victims, corporate media will be very interested in a story.
This article is longer than what Iām posting here so you donāt have to scroll long, but I REALLY recommend reading it because thereās a lot of analysis on and factual evidence of US mainstream media focusing on stories that make US capitalism look good.
āHaitians are revolting against a corrupt political system and their President Jovenel MoĆÆse, who many see as a kleptocratic US puppet. In Ecuador, huge public manifestations managed to force President LenĆn Moreno to backtrack on his IMF-backed neoliberal package that would have sharply cut government spending and increased transport prices (FAIR.org, 10/23/19). Meanwhile, popular Chilean frustration at the conservative PiƱera administration boiled over into massive protests that were immediately met with force. āWe are at war,ā announced President SebastiĆ”n PiƱera, echoing the infamous catchphrase of former fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet. PiƱera claimed that those responsible for violently resisting him were āgoing to pay for their deedsā as he ordered tanks through Santiago. (See FAIR.org, 10/23/19.) Yet the actions that have by far received the most attention in corporate media are those in Hong Kong, where demonstrations erupted in response to a proposed extradition agreement with the Chinese central government that opponents felt would undermine civil liberties and Hong Kongās semi-autonomous status. A search for āHong Kong protestsā on October 25, 2019, elicits 282 responses in the last month in the New York Times, for example, compared to 20 for āChile protests,ā 43 for Ecuador and 16 for Haiti. The unequal coverage is even more pronounced on Fox News, where there were 70 results for Hong Kong over the same period and four, two and three for Chile, Ecuador and Haiti, respectively.
This disparity cannot be explained due to the protestsā size or significance, the number of casualties or the response from the authorities. Eighteen people have died during the ongoing protests in Haiti, 19 (and rising) in Chile, while in Ecuador, protesters themselves captured over 50 soldiers who had been sent in as Moreno effectively declared martial law.

On Ecuador, the State Department has been more forthcoming, issuing a full endorsement of Morenoās neoliberal austerity package...

In other words, donāt expect any angry editorials denouncing US client states like Haiti or Ecuador, or arguing that the Chilean governmentās repression of its protest movement shows the moral bankruptcy of capitalism. Indeed, corporate media (e.g., Guardian, 10/8/19; CNN, 10/8/19; USA Today, 10/10/19) emphasized the violence of the Ecuadorian protestors...ā
