Sandbox / Suicide Is Painless Wick Check

Go To

Suicide Is Painless is, according to the description, supposed to be about a character committing suicide happily or without a motive as implied by Driven to Suicide. The name is vague, being a reference to the theme to M*A*S*H where it doesn't actually occur, which the trope notes in the description. It seems to attract confusion with the idea of "painless" suicide methods, or other suicide tropes. It is also not clear if this is supposed to be inclusive people who commit suicide happily with a motive (such as to avoid dying of terminal illness; to avoid being caught; etc.)

Note that we already have the following suicide tropes:Better to Die than Be Killed: A character commits suicide to avoid being caught for a wide variety of reasons: to avoid being raped, tortured, or killed; to defend their honor; to avoid becoming a zombie; to escape prosecution.Nothing Left to Do but Die: A character, usually immortal, commits suicide because they believe they've experienced everything there is to see in life.Suicide by Pills: A suicide method often perceived as less messy and painful than other methods.

Wicks checked: 0/50
