Well, this is probably one of my worse disisions, but here I go:
1. What youre saying about faking death/ and or injury is something called 'Munchasen syndrome' and its defined as, 'Faking or exaggerating insult ot injury so they may gain attention and sympathy' and thats its own category, and has nothing to do with emos. Sure, some emos may have it, but like I said, its a mental disorder, while being emo is more of a choice.
2. Thats not emo, that depression. And self-harm. theres many forms of it, not just cutting. They do 1. for the reson you said, they feel numb inside, so they cut themselves to feel more human, 2. because there is so much going on in their life, so they self-harm as a form of escape, and 3. a combonation of the first 2. Sure, some may do it for attention, but if you say: All poeple who self harm are emo, attention loving whiners, youre sterotyping.

I dont now much about politics, so Im just going to take your word for it. It seems reasonable, so I think I wont have any trouble with accepting it.
