I hate how it’s all about ‘mental health awareness’ and ‘mental health positivity’ unless you have ASPD, BPD, NPD or are a compulsive liar.

As someone who has ASPD I hate how our society treats mental illnesses that aren’t considered wholesome like depression or autism.

    The whole point of my thread was about how bad ableism is and you respond by comparing those with cluster B personality disorders to the worst thing there is. People with personality disorders are just people with a illness that can be helped but pedophiles are just irredeemable and pure evil. All the hate directed at them is completely warranted.

      Actually I think folks with ASPD are the worst, trash that should be discarded from society. /s

      I think you’re confusing folks who have pedophilia with folks who act on it.

      Assaulting children is the worst thing there is. Being attracted to children is not the same thing as raping children. You’ve proven their point with your ignorance

      Pedophiles are just people with an illness. Child abusers are irredeemable and pure evil. But not all pedophiles are child abusers (and for that matter, not all child abusers are pedophiles). Pedophilia is nothing more than an attraction. Some sufferers succumb to and act on that attraction, others seek psychological help to manage that attraction so that they don’t act on it.

      This commenter was very obviously referring to the latter: those afflicted by pedophilia who are determined to keep themselves from acting on it, but face social challenges in finding psychological help.
