This really isn't funny. I do hope this is a "joke" but it's really sick.

Don't worry guys.  I'm pretty sure this is guy is not really a good friend of Tender Branson, but is in fact 15 year old Korean actress Kim Yoo-jung.  She presumably posted this accidentally when googling erotica about the Krampus and a topless Angela Merkel.  It's an innocent mistake to make.

I hope this is some sick joke and not the truth.

The fact that this supposed person waits an entire week to notify strongly suggests it's an attempt at a joke.

yeah, because obviously if a dear friend of yours dies, notifying his internet friends is the first thing you think about

Of course it's a joke you idiots jesus christ.

jokes are funny

That's not what I'm saying. The poster claims to have been specifically asked in a final note to tell the board.

suicide is, unequivocally, not funny. how the hell do you people not understand that?

it's still not going to be anywhere near the first thing on their mind.

What, ever? I don't think this particular gag is funny but that's a failure of execution rather than principle. Good to know the literal PC Police is here to set the record straight though.

Flashback to my teenage years. Family gathering. It is pouring down outside and I enter the hall soaked to the skin and my most annoying uncle jokingly asks "did it rain?". I then answer "no, I just tried to commit suicide with a water gun" and several aunts and my mother puts on their shrill voices and starts lecturing me about how utterly inappropriate it is to joke about suicide.

Not funny, but also not Not Funny.

Well this is... odd.

On the issue of humour and topping oneself, David Foster Wallace - who had suicidal tendencies for decades and (as everyone knows) eventually went through with it - made dark jokes about suicide in his writings not infrequently.

I agree that there is no inherently unfunny topic. Suicide jokes can be funny, depending on the joke and on the context.

This suicide joke in this context isn't funny in the slightest.

wouldn't it be ironic* if this were just a prank but our (justifiably) offended responses shame tender so much that he never posts here again and we end up assuming that it wasn't a joke?

It would be just like the end of Romeo & Juliet.  Or every episode of Three's Company.

No one seems to have noted that the OP misspelled Tender's name twice in that post, using Bransen instead of Branson.

Of course it's a disgusting joke, especially in the light of recent events.

If Tender had been active the last week, the author would have chosen someone different, and he had as the case may be written the title of this thread in another language.

     Supposing that this is a tasteless attempt at an April Fool's Joke, one important thing to note is that there is no proof Tender is behind this. Banning him for being the subject of a bad joke is jumping the gun a little.

I noticed this. It doesn't say that much though - if the story was real it'd make sense that this friend would not be an expert on his Atlas name. Of course it also chimes well with some troll pulling this prank.

It does make it less likely that it is Tender himself though. Unless that's what he wants us to think... Shocked
