That's because the first, as a term, is a forced-meme reaction to the second. It also has the problem of nobody knowing what you're talking about if you try to write the acronym, since the Elder Scrolls exists.
It's the Dangerous Donald thing all over again.
They should have gone with Trump Dickriding Syndrome, it's simple, it gets the point across and uses the same acronyms. It not only calls your opponents fagots but gives you the chance of controlling the word since every time someone type TDS you and your friends could mock them for riding Trumps dick. If you get enough people to think of it as a joke and make it synonymous with trump dickriding you'll force your opponents to chose a new term to describe Derangement to avoid mockery.
I mean R/thedonald worked too but Trump DIckriding Syndrome works so much better as a way to destroy a term you don't like.
I know the people at TES are too stupid to actually think their acronym through since Derangement not only describes illogical defense but also illogical attack. It works for both insane pro and anti-trump statements whereas enslavement doesn't really work since it's involuntary and your slave won't do a good job defending you. It's kind of a great example of the left being on easy mode for so long that they can't fight anymore since the name is a clear knockoff but only goes halfway through with the jab.
