That is ironic, because she expects us to be educated, when in fact she is doing the opposite. I can't explain it anymore than that, tbh.

Irony isn't about expectations, it's about your choice of words. If he'd said "Educate yourself!" and then posted a broken link, or one that provided false and invalidated information, that would have been ironic. As it is, none of the studies that Chula cited were false, even if his interpretation of the information differs from your own. If you're mad about Chula taking issue with you citing vague studies, only to post an excerpt from a study himself, then the word you're looking for is "hypocritical".
Anyway, what are you two even fighting about? Whether or not suicide is a complicated issue? Because that's honestly a no-brainer; of course it's complicated, and understanding it requires you to take many factors into consideration.
