Or, for that matter, :weary: or :tired_face:, which is NEVER used for the intended purpose

Yeah, what I meant there was that it is a major component of the movement - at least today. Emo kids definitely took wanting to die to a new level, I remember the posts from a vk page from that era which basically mostly all read "you're fucking worthless, why even bother?" - like, at least the memes today are humorous, and provide some comfort in the fact that you're not alone. Those pages, which have thankfully mostly been shut down, probably had been responsible for a lot of deaths.
I don't really like Russia's approach to censorship, but I'm going to say that banning pages like this (and youtube videos, for that matter) is a good thing. You can't really leave something like this to parents; kids will figure out how to access the page anyway
I feel like the russian community still isn't at the point at which depression memes are popular, but most russian memes are basically a) garbage or b) translated, so it's just reddit's front page from 1-2 weeks ago.

https://t.me/hyperbox/5343 that's not glorifying suicide in my opinion, at least for me, it's a coping mechanism

Honestly, you shouldn't feel bad about bringing up a topic that raises an argument between people. You know, I do value arguments; they allow me to stay open-minded about a subject that I am not interested in enough to research, as well as try to convince others if I feel like my point is more (semantically, politically, morally - cross out any if necessary) correct. Honestly, we have almost the same, "reasonable" political views, as per 8values, so I do not think that an argument like this can do something like break a friendship.

and if I bring up something controversial, I admit that I shouldn't have brought it up, and I surrender my argument

Honestly, though, I feel like it depends on what "offending" is; there's limits to which you can honor people's feelings, and succumbing to ridiculous constraints in order to not be labeled "racist"/"sexist"/whatever by removing content that's arguably not even slightly controversial is rather silly.
Now.. I get that apologizing for upsetting someone is pretty important. Especially if it's a person-to-person interaction, even if you personally don't agree with the fact that it was reasonable to be offended by some statement. Just purely out of courtesy. But when talking about brands, ..is it really necessary to cry racism? Vote with your wallet yourself, don't make unsubstantiated claims. Because if it's actually racist, wouldn't other people notice it too, themselves? Because if you cry that it's racist, would that matter to people who are racist themselves?

the idea that apologizing for hurting or offending someone is a sign of weakness is total bullshit, in my eyes
/r/emojipasta is a wonderful community (disclaimer: i'm running that shit, mostly)

The problem with these guys I have is that they do have a reasoning, but the reasoning is unreasonable (ha). Like, "microaggressions" or "manspreading" or whatever else they may come up with. If you take a very close look, you can label anything that makes a point racist or sexist. So, at that point - does it matter?

Crying about censorship is fucking hilarious, especially now that everyone knows that the alt-right does it whenever they get something that doesn't follow the narrative

and cries about censorship
Now.. here's the question. All this time we've had this sort of "euphemism treadmill", where words that were originally euphemisms become more hurtful due to usage in such contexts. I feel like there's a way to water down the "offensiveness" by simply using the word in context that isn't offensive? We are responsible for change in the language, so..
Now.. when hearing the word involves ptsd, or some stuff like that, I feel like you have a bigger issue than someone online being an idiot. Actually, is that sort of stuff treatable? (I have no clue about it, sorry)

I usually generalize it to "ranking someone based on what they couldn't choose".
