Giving the life the middle finger is the ultimate expression of freedom.

Before I said that something could pass as ironic edgelord humor 20 years ago on 4chan, but in this case, I think this is so edgy even the channers would make fun of it.

Killing yourself is the ultimate expression of freedom? Shouldn't you be banned for saying that? When did it become acceptable to glamorize and encourage suicide?

Suicide isn't "the ultimate expression of freedom" it's the complete and total renunciation of freedom. Dead bodies aren't free to do anything except rot.
