MODERATORS
When stuff like this happens to people there is usually a lot of shame involved when it goes past a certain point which prevents getting help. These types of situations come to light through care notices to social work and often mental health problems are involved. Like someone commented, this person needs help, not ridicule.
With stories like this I wonder why it's even news and why we're hearing about it all across the world
Yeah it's sus. Because this sort of thing is pretty common in our glorious western capitalist hell. Obviously only to those who see these situations, but every apartement building probably hides some of these. Most people are probably completely unaware of how badly some are doing behind closed doors right next to them.
I don't think it's even a ChinaBad thing necessarily and more of a "shitty tabloids being shitty" thing. They love these sorts of "let's all point and laugh at the freak" stories.
