  • Illness/disorder is the key part here. All of us experience sadness, depression, anxiety, urges like murder or fetishes, compulsions and dysphoria or whatever to some degree. It becomes an illness when it becomes so distressing that we can’t manage it to ourselves and cause negative results that is beyond manageable. And where that line is will vary.

    Labeling a huge group as being mentally ill just seems a bit fucked to me. Am I mentally Ill because I drink every night even though I stop when I want. When does it become alcoholism? When do I go from being depressed to depression or anxious to having generalized anxiety. And when does my gender identity become a dysphoria. I go to the gym because I’m not as big as I want to be or think I should be. That’s a dysphoria but is it an illness?

    I would say if someone is able to live their life as they want without harm to themselves or others then its not really illness because I don’t know where the illness part is. But if I force them to identify as something they tell me they’re not then maybe I’m forcing the illness on them and I don’t like to do that. But I also don’t agree wolfkin and the other shit you mention are similar

    This is why I felt like the best thing we all could do is reject every ounce of advertising we could. Marker up all the billboards. If you’re watching a video and x3 3 minutes ads play, Leave comments about how the product gave you a bad rash. Make it so all these companies remove themselves from spaces we enjoy. It would also help get rid of the fucking content creators trying to be a copy of the latest and greatest channel but instead waters down the internet with the 10000000 clone of the latest and greatest
