Shitting on artists is what we do best in the west…and we’re good at it, we even drove Vincent van Gogh to suicide. Then did the other stereotypically dick move: turning around to praise him as arguably the greatest artistic painter of all time AFTER we drove him to take his own life.

At the risk of sounding callus here, you can't make someone kill themselves. That's a cop out. If someone is suicidal, they're suicidal and they need to get help and go on some heavy duty mood stabilizers and get away from the toxicity that's making them feel so bad. I know we're in a culture now where personal accountability is almost a dirty phrase, but that doesn't make it any less true. You are responsible for your disposition in this life, not anyone else. Doesn't matter what's being said about you, you still have the power to get away from it, make a positive change and get the help you need. No one has has that power over you. And anyone who suggests otherwise is misinformed. 

Yeah, I’m sure Vincent van Gogh could have easily just gone to a medical practitioner to get some Prozac. :D
