The bigger question is: who gives a flying fuck about the boring, failure-to-launch Disney adults?

I find them creepy and unsettling. I think it's because it is so bizarre to me that there are so many of them that exhibit the exact same asinine behavior and flaunt the exact same munchie accessories that they may as well be the same person as far as I'm concerned. I can't keep them straight in my head or remember anything distinctive about any of them. Add the Disney fixation that gives off a creepy "regression to childhood" vibe after a certain point. A bunch of them existing is unsettling in the same way as seeing people in a weird cult.

At this point grown women having a Disney fixation is a red flag for someone who is emotionally stunted and is attempting escapism in an unhealthy way.
Enjoying watching Disney movies is whatever, but all the Disney memorabilia hoarding and *need* to go to Disney is unsettling.
That, and it’s a munchie favorite which can’t be coincidental.

All of these obsessions seem to manifest in certain types of people.

Furries, disney-dolts, etc. It's like people are genetically engrained to be one type of exceptional or another

Somehow every expression of flawed personality has become heckin valid and these people can now be placed in the bagging area.

I dont know how we can ever go back to having a set of norms we all follow.
 
Semi-related to the thread (Psych), but I felt like this tiktok was on par with how nurses react to munchies when they pull their craziest stunts in the ER.

The comments have a lot of nurses and CNA‘s experiences with these types of people and how they handle it. Pretty great and relatable read if you guys have time.

I love it when they talk about “medical gaslighting and abuse”.
No, your doctor telling you that everything is normal based on examinations and tests isn’t gaslighting, and doctors not believing munchie antics isn’t abuse.

It’s funny because they never seem to include women doctors in this evil medical conspiracy to hurt women, it’s always “the patriarchy in medicine”.
Makes me wonder if they know that women doctors exist and that they’re available to go to sometimes over those evil men.
But then it would probably be “internalized misogyny” that makes women doctors abuse them too, there’s always a reason for them.
 
I get the impression they think every visit to the doctor with a new symptom should result in an entire episode of House and detective level investigation into their one minor issue.

Not only that, but that it must be they have some rare disease or whatever. Something like tachycardia is so non specific and it has many many causes. Electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, thyroid disorders, electrical, prednisone, asthma meds, being overweight, deconditioning, etc etc. it’s more likely to be something basic than something that is seen less often.
 
lol should have euthanised the sped.

Someone should tell her that she needs to study her history of corsets:

She could munch so much more then!

shes one of those cringe medievalists/victorianists who simp for and make excuses for stuff from these time periods, like lack of hygiene and corsets. no poo gang out in full force in the comments. some of these gross people havent washed their hair in 7 yrs.

Nah I’ve seen some complain about female doctors. Usually it’s framed as a betrayal of their sex. Like somehow female doctors are obligated to believe every munchie claim and have the box of tissues ready for some shoulder-crying. Which is really quite sexist of the munchies, innit? But they all seem to hold up the shrinking violet as the ideal, so I guess that makes sense.

That strange study/infographic/whatever about “autofiction” several posts back was nigh on incomprehensible to me. But I DID see a mention of Ophelia which is funny because that’s what I always am reminded of when I read this thread as well.
I get the impression they think every visit to the doctor with a new symptom should result in an entire episode of House and detective level investigation into their one minor issue.
That makes sense when you consider they get their fulfillment from medical attention. Going to a doctor appointment is a bit like meeting up with a heroin dealer. When the doctor refuses to engage with the crazy, it’s like a heroin dealer flushing all the little baggies down the toilet in front of an addicted customer.

Of course it makes the munchies rage. They’re jonesing.
 
I think the complicating factor is the small amount of truth in the claims of medical professionals discriminating, intentionally or non-intentionally.

It's well studied and documented that people of color, people who are overweight, and women are more likely to have real issues that get pushed aside by doctors. They are humans with experiences and unrecognized bias.

I think framing this as intentional (gaslighting) is incorrect. I also think some of the spoonies like being the victim to make up for their failure to launch. So they see any time any professional tells them their tachycardia is just anxiety as a direct attack. Then when others wonder why they haven't been able to make more progress, they can say the medical profession is preventing them from getting better and moving forward, but they WANT to!

They assume we are nurses at first and then when they realize we are their treating physician; if they can’t bond with us over “we are women” they mostly move on to try and manipulate our male colleagues…
