i think the worst idea that this site has popularized vis a vis mental health is that its okay to treat your friends like therapists, and that its expected they react like one when you have an episode or breakdown

its a lot like approaching a friend and going “hey, you bandaged my cooking burn once, can you give me open heart surgery?” and getting upset when either they refuse to do so or getting hurt when they dont have the knowledge needed to do it safely.

people can support you, and they can help you out of rough patches, but relying on them for your continued functionality and stability is stressful and dangerous for everyone involved.

literally there’s nothing wrong w liking things that are problematic but like,,, can you use your fucking brain for once and think critically about the media you consume? please? finding out something or someone is shitty doesn’t mean you’re obligated to immediately ‘cancel’ them, but at the same, make an effort to understand the issue and where ppls anger is coming from. being willingfully ignorant isnt anything to be proud of, and trust me, defending shit media/people isn’t the hill you want to die on.

i feel like a lot of ‘sjws’ (decent people) had a shitty anti feminist, anti theist phase when they were like, 15 or 16 and i feel like thats almost natural. most people are dumb and selfish as shit at that age. to me, the real remarkable thing is when people just, don’t grow out of it. i can’t comprehend not growing as a human being from your mid-teens at all and still thinking ‘sjw’s are a) an actual thing and not just a vague abstraction and b) an actual threat and bad thing to be called

those “sharpest [material] kitchen knife in the world” videos. i click on em . i know whats gonna happen. the youtuber is gonna process the material over and over again then refrigerate it then cut it into a knife shape and sharpen it with finer and finer sandpaper. and the whole time theyre gonna be using those cow-shaped porcelain kitchen vessels. but here i am. for 15 minutes at a time. every time. and at the end when the knife is sharp. my mind will still be blown
