Description
i dont support it because i almost tried it! i had inspiration for this stamp from this news article here news.deviantart.com/article/57...read it! it's very powerful, and very moving! it had me in tears by the time i had finished commenting on it! and the comment you can find right here and all the replies to it. comments.deviantart.com/2/5787...
let me know if you use it! so i can see it in action!!
template from $zilla774
Oh my god. you people realize that the artist doesn't get to choose what get's a DD. i still have no clue what so ever of why this was chosen as a DD so stop discussing it here. if you dont like it. tell the proper people you can find it here FAQ #873: What do I do when I disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature?
and as for "lumping cutting and suicide together", what can i say... i'm sorry. i'm not going to change it now, and at the time it was what was going through my mind.
for the people who are saying stuff about how cutting can be good. well. i wont lie, my best friend used to cut. she did it to relieve stress. but from my personal standpoint, i know it isn't healthy, and it is something i am very glad i never did.
and if i was refering to assisted suicide i would have put that so please stop using that as an argument as well. i was talking about self suicide. like slitting your wrists or hanging yourself and so on.
any other haters out there... well i'm sorry you feel that way i am not here to change your feelings however.
******UPDATE******
I just uploaded an apology deviation. I feel it's necessary

Sorry if you consider this rude, it's just my opinion. I support the message this is sending, I just don't think this should be a daily deviation, I see nothing artistic about this or aesthetic. Like I said don't bash me for what I'm saying, it's just my opinion, and I am not against the message.

thanks for the support.
and as i keep telling other people... i dont know why it's a DD but it is. there is a help topic somewhere if you dont like it that tells you how to report it as bad or something. look it up in help.

I'm aware of that FAQ thank you, I only wanted to get my message across was all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't have an idea if you knew about the faq now could I? It'd be awesome if I could but I don't have that ability even though I'm subscribed. (What a ripoff!)
I posted it ANYWAY.

Alright alright, don't light your fuse on fire. There is nothing wrong about posting that link and I wasn't insulting you or trying to at all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh no I didn't take it that way at all
but you commented as if I'm supposed to be able to know if you know certain FAQs or not, it would've been better not to respond to it at all if you knew

Oh, if you need ideas for another stamp, you could do STDs. I haven't seen any of those around.

thanks!
and i don't know what i could do... but i'm going to think on it!

I'm more for suicide help and prevention than against suicide itself, I think a stamp that says that would be more profound.
I think I'll make one now.
I like the stamp itself though, why did you choose the color green? Is it the suicide ribbon color? I can't remember.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's not a bad idea..
and green... well... i just like the color green.
i am still learning animation through photoshop so all my animated things are very basic.

It's not bad for a first animation (my first one was only two frames *faint*)
If you're using imageready ~limon-butterfly has a tutorial for imageready with animations

Or Or or! we could find a way to support the people who are doing the actions i dont support.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I like what you did. You actually came in and showed people why suicide might be a bad choice. My comment was more aimed at the people who said things like; ppl who do this r stupid.
Instead of telling people it was stupid and that's it, you posted reasons why you thought it wasn't good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh ok. well i'm glad you like it.
thanks, i think when i replied to yours it was like 4 in the morning. so i was really tired. or maybe it was 2 in the morning. point is i was tired. and the wording you used made it seem like it was aimed towards me. sry bout that. anyway. thanks again

It's not taking away anyone's free will at all. It's someone stating an opinion, and one I agree with.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank god you were here to clarify the obvious
What I am stating is that saying you support or don't support this is stupid. No one gives a damn if someone supports them cutting themselves or not. It's a person's choice. It is not good, and it is not bad.
The comment above is saying that the only way you can make a change in stopping this from happening is taking someone's free will away.

I support not bossing around a suicidal person O.o Because CLEARLY that will help their case by showing them that you are against what they do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh so you support the persons emotional decision to kill themselves. and to leave the survivors alone without any knowledge of why this person killed themselves?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe be there for them and give them support on the things that they do well in, rather than saying "Oh, well then I don't support your idea of suicide, nor do I support the fact that you have a desire to attempt it." Somehow I doubt that'll help their situation >.>
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and maybe help them realize their full potential? but i didnt say that i dont support the people. i was saying i dont support the actions of the such. my friend doesn't support the ideas of or thoughts of suicide, yet she still supports me. they are two completely different things.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Depends on how a person takes it O.o Just like I took it the total wrong way than what it's intended for
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah...
and no worries.

Normaly when I set out to do something, I don't check to see if you support is first. However you are cute and pretty cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i dont know if i should be offended or flattered?!
meh... right now i need flattered! so thank you!

The thoughts are always there like scars on my mind. The
pictures in my head, the cuts on my arms
the bleeding of pain and sorrow.
Faith is what I need but there is
never enough proof to inspire belief. I wish to wear a
mask so no one can see me, or recognize what
I have done but the scars are always there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and the scars will always be there... but instead of thinking of how bad it is... think instead of what you have overcome and be proud of your scars. because you have overcome it!

I think I can see your point.... suicide is not a good thing, but this stamp is basically just a kick in the teeth for someone who is feeling suicidal.
I mean, I've never known of anyone who "supports" suicide (excluding assisted suicide due to Lti), it's very sad that one feels that their life is so bad they cannot bare to live it anymore...
OFCOURSE no one supports suicide, but I feel that you're saying suicide is stupid, only for stupid people.
"so don't even think about it"
Sometimes, this is all a person can think about. You're ridiculing them, when what they really need it help and support, not someone shouting in their face, and condemming their thoughts and actions.
The point is not to condem, but to understand. When we understand why a person feels a certain way, we can give them real help.
I don't feel it's big and clever and brave to post this, I think its naiive and rather childish behaviour.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
just like it is childish to not read the artist comments and the links inside of that.
if you had read them. you would have seen. I WAS FUCKING SUICIDAL! you just called me stupid! because you put words in MY mouth!
i am saying that i do not support the actions. but i fully believe that the people doing the actions should get help and all the support they can get!
Also! I NEVER said i was clever and brave. yet again you put words in MY mouth!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did read your comments, and I did follow the links. I feel for the person who wrote the article, because my father commited suicide and I know how dreadful it feels.
So no, I wasn't childish.
Yes I did just call you stupid, basically. But not for being suicidal, I think you put the your message across in the wrong way. That was my first comment, that I see where your point is, but I disagree with the way you have put it across.
Well if you fully believe they should get help, then why don't you say that, instead of shouting at them?
I stamp saying "I support getting help for .... etc" would have made a lot more sense.
A lot of other people have said that, and I was merely saying I disagreed. You need to calm down.
I didn't say this in my original comment because there was no need to, but I have attempted suicide twice, and have been on medication since I was 13 and have regular therapy sessions (I'm now nearly twenty). So there is no need to scream at me that you have been suicidal as if I don't understand.
You have to be prepared for people to criticise your work. Just because it's about a sensitive subject, doesn't mean people won't have something negative to say about it.
I'm not trying to put any words in your mouth, I was simply putting my opinion across. That's what the "comment" feature is for, isn't it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well... i'm soorry that i got emotional when i was making the stamp... i just put what came to me. that's it.
have you read some of the other comments? it makes a lot of sense why i was emotional when i replied to your comment.
"When we understand why a person feels a certain way, we can give them real help."
you aren't being very understanding about that.
i was ready for criticism, i was not ready for the name calling and the personal attacks towards me.
and yeah... the comment feature is for opinions. but it is also for helpful critique. and constructive criticism
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As far as I can see, you were never being personally attacked... people were making harsh critique.
If you want to be viewed as an artist, you have to be able to take a degree of criticism to do with your thought processes and creative ideas.
If you want some contstructive crtitcism, to be honest the stamp is rather simple... the format doesn't grab you and anyone can fade in fade out text. I find it pretty boring... it's only the controversial message thats attracted people to comment on it.
On the positive side, I like the green colour.
I'm being perfectly understanding. But understanding doesn't mean mollycoddling someone just because they have problems.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're probably right about the harsh critique... but when i was reading through the comments i recieved, i felt as though i was being personally attacked.
I believe that people pushed passed my level of taking criticism, and made it all hurt.
I realized the simplistic nature of the stamp long ago... which is why i am starting to make different, more exciting stamps. take a look, they aren't too bad. (I'm Glad you like the Green ^_^ )
and i understand that.

I agree with you 100%; I really can't add anything further. Perfect comment on the issue.

Hmm, I'm with you on the suicide deal, but cutting? Some people just like the feeling. If they're not trying to die, I don't see why I don't support it, it's like masturbation for some people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
they do it to feel good. they injure themselves to feel good? it makes no sense.
and if you dont support it, then dont, that is your choice!
