    No, that’s just being very defensive. We shouldn’t treat mental diagnosis as insults and we should not insinuate that because someone is weird online that there’s something psychiatrically wrong with them

      It’s not defensive to flatly deny evident reality in front of their face. They know how edits look, they are a mod and long time site user. Why are they going around accusing people of editing who don’t have edit symbols? Do they think the site is lying to them and in on the conspiracy?

      How am I the one “jacketing” and not them? They are the ones accusing people of absurd things and dramabaiting

        I am not saying that they are not jacketing, I have not spoken about the quality of their behaviour at all. I agree with you that they’re being shitty, I just don’t think it’s cool to do what you did in response.
        I don’t know why they’re being weird about edits that did not happen. I just know that that doesn’t warrant implying they’re mentally ill

          When someone is plainly disconnected from evidence and reality and digging into a “it’s not me it’s literally everyone else gaslighting me and attacking me and persecuting me” mentality there’s really not much other explanation

              I’ll be real, I just don’t like Pluto and took the opportunity of them being a fucking weirdo to dunk on them. It makes a lot of sense why he’s always complaining about the “Nazbols” taking over hexbear and taking over his org and taking over the internet, I will just say that much

                The only issue was the ableism (using mental illness as a dunk or insult is ableism). I wish we had a word for paranoid that didn’t have those implications but we don’t.

                Yeah and I don’t mind that you dunked I think it was well deserved. I just dislike the ableism inherent in saying “oh I bet you’re being gangstalked too huh”. I think it’s shitty to use signs of mental diagnosis as dunks.
