I've noticed a somewhat sad disparity in reactions from normies when it comes to reactions to suicides from people of both genders.
Take the case of Rorochan, a Japanese girl who wasn't mentally well whatsoever, was depressed, and committed suicide while livestreaming it from her phone, which was strapped to her face. Then take Shuaiby, pretty much the male equivalent.
However, the events that led up to them thinking suicide was a good idea were different, Roro hadn't received any attention from her family or anyone at school (rare for a female but possible cultural differences I'm not aware of there), and with Shuaiby it's a little more vague, tho one theory is that he was a victim of the Reiko Trap cult and was a Muslim apparently, you can see why those things conflict, although this isn't confirmed.
In public perception, you can guess which was the greater tragedy.
Roro had a neat music video made in commemoration and "became a legend" as she apparently wanted to be, despite not being known beforehand. Shuaiby ended up as little more than a meme.
This may not be the best pairs of examples but I would like to know your views on this disparity, would you consider it natural due to "male disposability", discrimination due to societal views, or somewhere in between? What do you think?
