    You’re not helping the stigma against mental illness by automatically assuming she committed the murders as a result of it. You are not a psychologist, more importantly not her psychologist, so you do not have the authority to make that kind of a determination.

    Claiming she committed the murders because she is mentally ill is an ableist act.

    Being mentally ill doesn’t mean you’re going to murder anyone, certainly not babies.

    You’re ableist, and unempathetic.

          It’s not fucking ableism. You’re jumping through hopps to invent shit the OP didn’t say just to have an argument. Get a grip.

            It absolutely is and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for defending it. The mentally ill are hurt deeply when you use stereotypes that they are violent, dangerous and lack agency to absolve evil monsters of their actions. What you’re doing is wrong and you need to stop.

              Bitch, I am the mentally ill, that’s not what he’s saying, I’m not offended by his comment because he’s not perpetuating the stereotype. It’s not offensesibe to say that some displaying clesr symptoms of mental illness is mentally ill.
