Outrage culture didn’t cause these suicides in particular, but it is part of the larger problem within society. Outrage culture is part of why we are so divided, and all of this division is part of why we are so disconnected as people.

The fact we are so disconnected as a society, one in which people are struggling so hard to feel accepted, could be part of the larger problem that led these kids down that path. Most of these kids were bullied and must’ve felt so lonely and also that they couldn’t escape it, especially if cyber-bullying did play a factor here (and I wouldn’t be surprised if it did).

So basically, I was just ranting about society as a whole in the wake of this, and I think Outrage Culture, while not the cause of these suicides, is a product of the larger problem.
