Content Warning: suicide note, sexual abuse, gaslighting, mental illness, LessWrong

This is Kathleen Rebecca Forth’s suicide note.

Kathy, as she was known, was a member of the LessWrong and Effective Altruist movements, and was both used and preyed upon by them. Any attempt she made to seek help was derided as being “radicalized as an SJW” or being “a paranoid delusion”. After all, her “in-group” knew what was best for her, right?

Kathy’s note contains a lot of anti-social justice language. However, though I didn’t know her in life, we were both in similarly abusive and traumatizing situations caused by the same people. Her note contains a lot of data that I wasn’t aware of while I was being abused by the same people who abused her, and is worth the read if only to understand what lengths these people will go to to destroy one of their own.

Fuck LessWrong and the SiliValley culture that gave birth to it.
