Anyone makes mental health jokes...

[WinterHold]

There's one hell of a difference between mocking a person struggling with mental illness and making a joke that mentions insanity. Mocking an individual for an illness is repulsive, discussing or joking about an illness in an appropriate and non-derogatory context is just part of acknowledging that it exists.

I don't even know why you made this thread... clearly you don't want discussion, so it's just like a sort of Roast Me thread, where you're provoking people to make mental health jokes so you can then say you're ignoring them?

You show threads making fun of cancer. Cancer the person is still intact, his body goes, and the person doesn't lose him or herself. The illness I am afflicted with not only threatens your physical life (like it makes you highly volatile and suicidal), but it makes you lose something more than the body. It put's you, as in you, the identity, at risk of destruction.

And it is a heavy trial.

No one makes fun of aids or cancer. Why?

Especially in front of someone who has it.

You ask yourself why.

I have an opinion:

Cancer and AIDS are boring and very very gloomy. They are the type of systematic destructive sicknesses that eat the body alive, AIDs will leave you looking in such a bad shape during the time of your death, both kill you. Mental illness in most cases doesn't.

If you compare AIDs to depression; then that's pretty wrong.
So, you get why some people might feel strange about your motives behind the topic
