Why don’t they want to talk about mental health? I think making up pronouns for yourself and playing pretend like a 5 year old shows some serious issues. Or seeing a penis between your legs and thinking you need to get rid of it because you are really a woman. Sure, let these people with clear mental issues have all the guns they want. What could go wrong
Unless someone is a real schizo with actual brain abnormalities the solution to almost every problem is stfu and gbtw. Of course women and weak men refuse to believe there is anything wrong with themselves so they look to external causes for why nothing is their fault.
I don't agree with your assessment, or with many of the replies.
That's just not how this works.
Yes, I agree that a lot of kids now are faking it, or simply haven't developed the necessary "coping skills", but this is a particularly bad outlook to have...
Trust me, when you have actual mental illness, "stfu and gbtw" is literally the worst advice possible. It just doesn't work. I wish it did, but it doesn't.
These sorts of generalisations are how we end up with ever-increasing rates of youth suicide.
You might be okay with that; Imp might be okay with that, but dismissing mental health problems as literally nonexistent is really, really... Not good.
This is not the "own" you presumably think it is...
"stfu and gbtw" is basically "pull yourself up by the bootstraps". There's not a lot to say here. Some people don't have the internal reference to understand that there are problems you can't solve that way. There's no point explaining it, you can't give someone that internal reference with words.

99% of "mental health" is fake.
