Cute Twunk "Influencer" Chase Filandro Pulls an Anne Burrell

His family made the most cringeworthy statement: "It was Chase's own decision to enter Heaven."

Tragic. No matter his family's statement, it always hurts to see a young person who felt so bleak he had to end it.

A short guy subreddit mentioned that his public (modelling?) profile said he was 5'7", but he may have been closer to 5'2" IRL. I personally hope it wasn't a factor in his decision, but that kind of height can certainly be challenging, even for beautiful or wealthy men. Either way, RIP.

It really does seem like being an "Influencer" puts a young person at heightened risk for severe mental health issues.

Every few weeks another young person with hundreds and hundreds of selfies on social media makes a, quote, "decision to enter heaven."

by Anonymousreply 28August 8, 2025 6:08 PM

It may make me a bad person, but I can't quite understand people leaving on the dead person's Instagram page messages for the dead instagramer. As if the dead person is on another plane somewhere appreciating all the heartfelt messages written very specifically to and about them.

Everyone processes grief in their own way, but some social media is a great indication of how fucked up social media types are.

You really weren't that special to them, and in most cases the dead one doesn't know who the fuck you are. If they're reading your tots and pears, anyway.

Using that logic, no one would ever visit grave sites either. But people do. Thousands visit Marilyn’s grave every year.

They do it for themselves really, and that’s fine.

It seems a weird thing to complain about, as it isn’t harming anyone and is done out of love.

@28 "It really does seem like being an "Influencer" puts a young person at heightened risk for severe mental health issues."

I suspect it's the other way 'round. People who are emotionally fragile and desperately searching for acceptance/love have a tendency to chase clout by becoming social media "influencers.

Serious psychological issues tend to manifest in early adulthood so that's a risky time of life for self-harm. And if the person's already gone to the considerable effort to attract an audience on social media, why would they want their families to hush up their cause of death? If you're that kind of exhibitionist it's all part of the show.

If you look at all the positive comments on his funeral home page, they sound more like the comments of someone who died by accident. Always about how he lit up a room, brought everyone joy, was a great friend, a great performer with his band, etc. There's no hint of why he would kill himself. Seemed like a happy person who made others happy. So weird.

So suicide is now an automatic golden ticket to Heaven? Good god. Modern day Christians should really just get together and write/publish their own version of the Bible. Their thinking has become the polar opposite of what Christianity is supposed to be. Or, they just make shit up that they like and want to promote.

There have been several suicides or either friends or acquaintances in my life, most happened when I was between 20 and my late 20's. They were all around the same age as me. (Except for a friend's mom.) I wish they'd stuck around. It might have gotten better.

R14 nailed it. These younguns are so addicted to social media they are incredibly isolated and have not been socialized with their peers . If you only interact with your phone all day .,,,,they don’t have a normal sense of reality so when depression hits as it hits all of us, they are overwhelmed . I don’t know but that’s my guess. Who the fuck knows . When I look at this guy incredibly cute — girls throwing themselves at him, maybe he has some repressed homosexual urges and couldn’t take it.

On the other hand, my ex husband ( I’m a woman ), self identified as pan ( right hes gay ) after 35 years together . Repression is very powerful

by Anonymousreply 82August 9, 2025 9:35 AM

R25 they're probably referring to his backstage.com profile (linked below).

If his listed height is 5'7, then in actuality he was probably about 5'5" or 5'5½." He had a stocky body which made him look even shorter.

The 5'0" or 5'2" height estimates are silly; it would be the equivalent of a 5'8" guy claiming to be 6'1" or 6'3."
