The concept of "abandoning the flesh" is popular in the Lain fandom and is something of a meme or inside joke between fans.

A 2010 incident on Mebious involving an actual suicidal person led to controversy as while there were those who tried to talk the person out of commiting suicide, there were those who encouraged it. A year later, someone who claimed to be the original poster stated they were doing better and had entered therapy.
