"Suicidism: A new theoretical framework to conceptualize suicide from an anti-oppressive perspective" was the primary motivator behind the creation of ANTI-SUICIDISM. The zine is a mirror to the essay as an artistic expression of both similar and divergent ideas.

From the abstract to "Suicidism":

Anchored in queer and crip perspectives, this essay proposes the neologism "suicidism" as a new theoretical framework to conceptualize the oppressive system in which suicidal people experience forms of injustice and violence. The thesis proposed here is that suicidal people suffer both individually and collectively from suicidist violence, an oppression that remains unproblematized in all current interpretations of suicide, including those taken up by anti-oppressive scholars and activists.
