ppl will be like ‘i support people w mental health issues!!1!!!’ until it’s about a societally demonised disorder. ppl will be “allies” until they’re asked to stop using psychotic as an insult, to stop equating low empathy with being inherently evil, to stop calling anyone they don’t like a sociopathic narcissist. it’s so telling how people will immediately resort to the exact same ableist language the second they’re not talking about a ‘sympathetic’ disorder like depression or anxiety.
if ur respect for people w mental health issues is conditional on what sort of issue they have, it’s not respect at all.
me: *ranting about my mom and how she makes me feel*
him: oh, i’m sorry
me: no no, no need to apologize it’s not your fault my mom’s a bitch
him: i know but she’ll never apologize for it so i will
bye, he doesn’t make it easy to feel nothing for him
