The hashtag #RIPTwitch might convey the idea of that social medium being dead. But is it? There is a death, yes, but it has nothing to do with the medium but with a famous creator with the name.
Stephen “tWitch” Boss, died in his hotel room from a gunshot wound to the head in what has since been ruled a suicide.
Suicide? Stephen taking his own life is something many people would rule as an impossibility because of the DJ and actor’s publicly exuberant personality and happy videos strewn all over the Internet.
Social media has been abuzz since the news of his death broke, with some tweeps pointing out that social media is not real and will never be and that people only share their happiest moments online while they might be contending with a lot in person, within.
Some tweeps used that as an opportunity to encourage others to always show kindness to their fellow men, as they have no clues about the inner battles they might be fighting while pushing around a happy exterior. You can check out some of the comments below.
