How did KF influence your thoughts on abnormal psyche/mental disorder? - did it change?

[DragoonSierra]

I've learned the correct response to genderspecials is hard science, which makes them cry and gives nary a fuck about their feelings.

Any good examples of this? This sounds amazing

I've learned that so far, only two people involved with the Rat King are competent game makers and they're also the ones that are fucking outcasts.

Chloe and who else?

fish.

Wat?

 

[StraightShooter]

I still think most mental illness is worse for the observer and care taker than it is the hyper-expensive pets in human form that most 'tards actually are

If they're actually retarded and have the perpetual IQ of a child, you may be right, since their mind is too young to understand the severity of it.

Not a single genderspecial claim to aberrant genders or sexual fluidity is backed by so much as a single word of hard science. There is not, as of this moment, a single credible, peer-reviewed study proving the existence of any claim to anything they claim.

I spent months researching this shit for Vade's article and later conducted additional research as the Farms increasingly covered people who whine about being NonBinary. I have not found a single piece of scientific evidence backing any claims made by these nutjobs. The closest I even came was finding reports cited by the likes of Mark Boyd, which had studies that were fundamentally flawed, not peer reviewed, or my personal favorite, self peer reviewed.

There is not a single cow we cover who claims to be a non-standard gender that has given any proof that this is the case. Evidence overwhelmingly thus shows that their bullshit is nothing but bunk and deserves to be mocked as such.

Another good one is to bring up population demographics. Transpeople account for less than 0.003% of the human population. That's going by census figures. As such, they're such a minority that they aren't getting any help without the good graces of cis people. In terms of numbers, they amount to a grain of sand in an olympic swimming pool. Your average person will go their entire lives without running into a single transperson IRL. As such, being hostile towards Cis people is essentially mandating that they stay ostracized.

They can't defend against these other than whine that science is wrong.

It's the fucking silver bullet. Use it against a Genderspecial and they automatically lose.

Chloe and who else?

Rani. Dead Gods was actually enjoyable. Recommended if you want a half-hour time-killer.

Wat?

Exaggeration for comedic effect, though we do have plenty of examples of the usual suspects blaming everything from mass shootings to presidential elections on Gamergate.

 

[Gym Leader Elesa]

Opened my eyes that Hitler was right about everything.

You literally always thought that (and were always right.)

I will admit the Farms has actually made me softer on the mentally ill- often as a reaction against KF, as much as I love it here.

 

[Conrix]

The whole Trump Victory salt mine taught me that extreme liberalism is a mental illness.

Though seriously this world in general taught me the "neurodivergent" get away with way too much shit because muh feelings.

 

[Positron]

The thing I learned is that you should never make leeway or allowance for them: they are never thankful, and will demand the same privilege as if that were their right.

Yeah. Looking at the typical modern liberal I say their views are pretty autistic on their own.

Are details of that in the Vade article?

Yep.

 

[Hui]

Not really. A lot of the thoughts I had were just confirmed.

I just call people "faggots" and "niggers" more often now.

Just now? lol fgt.

 

[demaster]

I've learned just how important it is that those with mental illness be diagnosed and given proper treatment as early as possible. I think that the majority of these people could have been functioning individuals with fairly normal lives had they simply gotten the help they needed when it would have made the most difference, instead of being left to descend further down the rabbit hole.

>Actually using logic to moralfag about helping the mentally ill



In all seriousness if that had been done on a larger scale at least 10 years ago, we wouldn't see all of these lunatics tearing the world apart while those in power use it as an excuse to add more restrictions to what normal people can do.

I'd really like to see some links if you're up to pming me. This grinds my gears too.
I have some background in psychology. I've yet to see a single study that identifies some psychological basis for needing to identify as genderfluid or requiring "they" pronouns for some reason.
There are absolutely trends in psychology. Satanic panic is often mentioned, but did/mpd has also been subject to scrutiny over whether it even exists or not. There were a rash of diagnoses years ago, but most of the cases were proven to be false, or suggested by the psychologists themselves.
That's one disorder tumblr likes to use a lot too lol.
Moral panic, mass hysteria, false memories are all good reads into how this might happen. I'm not saying any single one applies here.
Psychology is kind of an easy degree to get, not to disparage the profession but they get caught up in trends as much if not more as other professions do. There are still MDs in current year that recommend alternative medicine, it's not that strange that psychologists might be caught up in some current gender hysteria and just go along with it.
Also lmao "self peer reviewed." For real?

For realz, yo.

I can't find the PDF in question because the website in question is gone (and I can't be arsed to go looking for it right now), but the long and short is that one of the biggest claims they'll make is that their study's been peer reviewed - then you go and look, and it's peer reviewed by people with no credentials, other students (this is shockingly common), or my personal favorite, themselves.

Go looking at any college with public studies that have Social Justice courses. You can't spit without finding at least a few.

I'm not surprised. I don't consider myself particularly good at reading studies, but the amount of people who actually read a study in the first place, much less check its credibility, is abbhorently low.
One that comes to mind is http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt...he-media-into-spreading-bad-chocolate-science

No one ever reads this shit, to some extent I don't blame them, it's sort of tl;dr

 

[feedtheoctopus]

You guys have given me great examples as to how not to act towards the mentally ill. So thanks...I guess

 

[UptownRuckus]

With a site like KF I learned just how drastic and sad radical behavior can be. It also made me want to go to school so I could become a special needs therapist

You paradoxical bastard. I'm a lefty and somewhat sympathetic to SJW type social causes but reading on this site and has made me more skeptical of how mentally ill people, while marginalized and stigmatized as a group, can still be manipulative and it can even be mostly caused by their mental illness.

Gawking at bizarre people over the internet is completely different from having to work with them, as part of your duty that you cannot be discharged of no matter how demanding, recalcitrant and obnoxious they are.

Imagine having to work with, say, Maijan Siklic.
