[r/worldnews]: "A schoolboy shot himself hours after police visited his family home to question him about sexual texts he sent to a girl, an inquest heard."

My post in worldnews. They're really assuming the boy did something awful to that girl, and they're downvoting anyone who suggests otherwise. I really think #1 is far more believable and likely than #2, but that's bias for you.

Note: there are now more AMRs in this thread than MRAs. The link to this post is now #1 in AMR, the troll brigade.

See the main thread here

Everyone here is reading their own bias into the story. We don't know most of the facts. Let me illustrate by re-telling the story with opposite biases.

This boy was flirting with his classmate. They chatted and she gave him her number. He thought she was approachable. She didn't like him but never said. After a few flirty messages, she exaggerated the problem to her parents who called the police. The police spoke to his parents, and his mother badly overreacted. She called him a sub-human rapist who deserved to go to jail before he hurt anyone else. He shot himself.
The girl was 14, in middle school. He got her number from someone else, and started sending dick pics and asking her for sexual favors. He called her a whore when she said no. She tried to block his number but he still managed to send texts. Worn down, she confided in her parents who looked over the text and asked the police to make it stop. The police told his parents. His mother told him he was being creepy and took his phone. Realizing what a terrible person he was, he shot himself.

Most people here are in the #2 camp. Proof:

Reasonable but downvoted comments: -11 -2 -7.

Terrible upvoted comments: +1 +3 +8 and the top comment, +317.

The fact is, we don't know that he was harassing her. We don't know that she hadn't asked him to stop. We don't know why the police were involved when things could have been handled informally. What we do know is that this reddit crowd has a strong bias against the boy. Shame on you.

A lot of feminists claiming the kid was "sexually harassing" the girl over there when they have zero to no knowledge of what actually happened.

god fucking damnit. we live in a world that, in its current state, just isn't worth saving any more. how the hell do we let even one little boy think that he has no way out? how do we put them in this horrible place where they can't even think of going on? for being a boy who was interested in a girl and made the mistake of saying something? it hurts to know the world is ok with this. god damnit

and the worst thing is i bet there isn't a single man on this board that hasn't been forced to think this way at least once before. i don't even know what to say.

fuck the politics, fuck all of it, how do we let this shit happen

I can't help but think a man who had done this would be charged with bullying or something but since it was his mother that drive him to suicide, nothing will be done.

So, I guess because one unbalanced boy with incredibly poor decision-making skills shot himself after being disciplined for unwanted sexual advances, we should never discipline children for making unwanted sexual advances...?

This reminds me of The Breakfast Club - when Anthony Michael Hall's character was planning to shoot himself after getting one bad grade in one class, due to tons of pressure to be perfect from his parents, or himself, or whoever else. He blew something that really isn't a huge deal way out of proportion. That's a teenager issue, not a men's rights issue.

Don't worry too bad man - the truth will come out.

When stories come out like this, its easy to see who the real animals are, those who live on this stuff and continue their forever victimhood of forever, this boy needed real parents, clearly his mother and father were not up to the job, and his school was totally useless dispite the time he gave them,.

The west is dying dying dead, leave now and let the feminazis die in a plague of their own making.
