YouTube won’t let you skip the trailer for Unfriended

milestaylorcosplay:

For those of you who don’t know (and I didn’t until I was forced to watch the trailer), “Unfriended” is a paranormal horror movie about the ghost of a girl who commits suicide after being cyberbullied. (basically.)

The trailer is framed initially with web searches of “Laura Barns” with various autocompletes, starting with “passed out video”, moving on to “bullied”, “suicide”, and finally “revenge”.

The trailer includes a non-graphic snapchat of what’s implied to be her suicide, as well as sudden screams and a jump scare.

And it’s one of the short ones, so you can’t skip it. 

If you’re prone to anxiety attacks and/or are triggered by this kind of content, close the video if the ad starts with a screen googling “Laura Barns”. 

Please spread this for people who could be upset by it similarly or even worse than I was.

People need to see this.

I know a lot of suicidal transfolk have been getting a lot of publicity ever since Leelah. Now, its great that trans issues are being brought to light, but what I’m seeing literally horrifies me.

I keep seeing more of these PSAs and add-like notifications that trans people are committing suicide. The biggest message behind it all is “they have a name”. I know that transgender suicides are NOT unheard of and have been happening since before Leelah, but something occurred to me that chills me to the bone.

I don’t want this to be a trend.

Transgender kids, teens, and adults NEED to know that there are other ways to be heard. You DO have a voice. Please, for the love of my fellow transfolk, do NOT kill yourselves. Your life isn’t a trend or a statement to be said and left alone. Your voice can be just as powerful, it can be MORE powerful.

Please just whatever you do, dont let these posts about other peoples suicides let you think that it is in any way a good place to turn. This isnt what Leelah wanted or stood up for and its not what I stand for. The road to acceptation should not be paved with the bloody suicides of our brothers and sisters. Suicide is not the answer- even if you don’t feel like anyone out there loves you then please know that I love you and my heart aches for every single one of you- those who are here and those who have gone.

sighhhh really not here for ‘representation isnt a radical enough goal’ talk like sorry we don;t want kids growing up wanting to kill themselves because they’re so alienated i forgot literally the only thing we should care about is revolution and not all the ways we can make things safer before that

If you find someone that attempted suicide with pills, fill a glass of water with salt and force it into them. They will empty their stomach. Talk to them, keep them awake. If possible, make them walk using you as a crutch. This information can save lifes, so I thought I’d share.

Signal boost this guys! This could save someone’s life

u guys this has been debunked, you could make them worse or at the least waste valuable time. call 911 immediately and let the responder walk you through what (if anything) you should be doing

Spread this shit around tumblr right now.

4 chan users are planning to trigger transgender people by posting pictures and sending asks on tumblr. They are hoping to drive trans people to suicide. Here is a source. Be aware the bottom part…

For those who do not want to look at these source links, here are the tags they plan to spam. I’m separating them with backslashes so this post won’t get catalogued in the tumblr search terms.

Targeted tags: trans//transgender//gender non-conforming//transphobia//transmisogyny

Please signal boost so folks can keep themselves safe.

4chan users plan to trigger trans suicides

1 in 5 teenagers have thought about suicide, about 1 in 6 teenagers have made plans for suicide, and more than 1 in 12 teenagers have attempted suicide in the last year. As many as 8 out of 10 teenagers who have commited suicide tried to ask for help in some way before committing suicide. Reblog this if you’re always here to listen.
