@Dayglochainsaw @mew i don't have a horse in this race, but it seems like this is contradictory, yeah?
either 1) you genuinely don't understand and were seeking understanding, willing to listen to those with knowledge in good faith
OR, 2) you wanted to say something inflammatory on purpose in order to push people away because you felt overwhelmed/decided that was a good coping strategy/etc.
it's either one or t'other, it cannot be both simultaneously here

@Dayglochainsaw basically, if your argument against kin folk is "this seems like glorification of mental illness and i'm not about that", to then go and use self-sabotage as a coping strategy is a bit weak, right?
it may be that the issue here is *not* you understanding kin folk, but instead you needing to go "perhaps picking fights online is not a good and condusive thing for my mental health and i should not use this as a strategy in future".

@Dayglochainsaw in other words - if kin folks are getting cancelled for promoting mental illness in your mind, shouldn't you get cut with the same sword by this promotion of "well at least i've started a fight and isolated myself, that's a totally good and valid way to go about such goals and a coping strategy i should promote explicitly by way of justifying my actions to everyone and assuring myself i am in the right"? after all, you are also promoting mental illness.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
