The... uh, I'm not sure "murder" describes it adequately, but the murder of Junko Furuta.
Trigger warning: it contains a very long list of things done by several power-mad teenagers to a completely helpless victim, so triggers everywhere. If you think "oh, how bad could it be?", the answer is "worse than you think, even if you think really hard".
If you have a trigger, it's probably in there. If you don't have one but want one, that link's probably a good place to start.
Speaking of which, the things I link to below are also quite triggery.
Now, I'm not a sensitive guy, even for a DF player. Pretty much don't feel a thing 99 percent of the time, even when I most definitely should.
But this... I felt genuine sadness after reading this. Not because of what was done or what the society did about it, that's merely disgusting.
I was sad because that, one of the few things that managed to disturb me, has happened countless times before, has probably happened in ways that dwarf it in vileness like the Sun dwarfs Mercury, and is probably happening to someone else in the world right now. And I'm sitting in my comfy chair doing nothing about it, not even caring enough to stop it or knowing where to begin - just like everyone else.
