theweaselkingSinister Suicide Pushers are behind the latest spate of Japanese strangers getting together to kill themselves en masse, according to Shukan Jitsuwa
The Internet is packed with what are called suicide sites, where those with the urge to end it all can find the best way to go about doing themselves in and can even find buddies so they don't have to perish alone.
Within a week three separate groups of Japanese killed themselves, each using charcoal burners in cars to fatally poison themselves with carbon monoxide fumes. All found out about the apparently painless method of death through suicide sites, and used the wicked websites to source the materials they needed to top themselves.
Mr. X, a regular user of suicide sites, tells the men's weekly that they are also frequented by jisatsu aoriya, literally Suicide Pushers who encourage the emotionally fragile not to keep fighting but instead take that final step over the brink.
"Nearly everybody posting messages on suicide sites are looking to encourage somebody else to take their own life. Most of them are fairly negative types,"
