It happens because erotic asphyxiation feels good, vile kink shaming like you're doing here leads to people not being educated in kink safety, and most folks don't have a spotter when they tos.
When did South Park make an episode of this, 15 years ago?
That would've been around the time Carradine died, so I bet that would've been the inspiration for it.Seems to have been made a year afterward.
If you're not willing to die for an orgasm are you really even living?

also, for those curious, there are safe ways to do this.Every kinky space I'm a part of, which is quite a few, will tell you "there's virtually no safe way to engage in breath play, only some ways that are safer than others." Even if you're experienced and playing "safely," accidents happen and breath play inhibits your ability to react, like a drug.
you can't choke yourself to death by hand, but you CAN reduce oxygen flow long enough to get desired results.
You can't get a posture collar on so tight that it totally cuts off air flow, but as tight as you can will make it harder to breath and slow the flow of oxygenated blood to the brain.
You can also *ahem* choke from the inside, iykwim. this can be fun.
Never EVER use gravity to assist. Never use a long materials (like say a belt or rope) that you just keep pulling tighter and loop around multiple times / tie off. these give you too much power to go tighter, and if secured too tight will be difficult to remove in time.

This is what happened to David Carradine of Kung Fu and Kill Bill fame.
It was also rumored to be what happened to the original singer of INXS, Michael Hutchence. That rumor was actually the very first time I found out that people did this and I initially didn't believe it because it sounded like one of those urban legends about AIDS needles or something... but whether Hutchence in particular died this way or not, yeah, people actually do this to get off.
Watch the Robin Williams movie 'Worlds Greatest Dad'.this
It's fucking great.
