It's worth noting you're only allowed to insultingly say someone has a mental illness in relation to their gender or sexual orientation.
Do not post .... Insults, including those about: ... Mental characteristics, including but not limited to allegations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, and unsupported comparisons between PC groups on the basis of inherent intellectual capacity. We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like “weird.”

Edit: and the changelog is a hoot.
So it's ok to say that zuckerfucker developed mental illnesses due to excessive zoophile orgies
Fuck Mark Zuckerberg, evil motherfucker.
Rich men have a mental illness and are weird.
Soon as Trump gets elected, the disinformation campaign could resume.
Could?
Dana White is on the Meta board as happens to be the same time.
Wonder how much longer you'll be able to question the impact professional gambling has on the outcome of UFC matches.

I guess this is what fascists consider "freedom".
Personally I would rather escape wasting my life in servitude to capital.
Let's for a second assume it is a mental illness, how does that make the people feel who are experiencing it? Do they feel loved and understood? If you suffered from the same mental illness where the most effective treatment is tolerance and acceptance, how would you like to be treated?

"Hate the sin, love the sinner" has been the historical approach far-right evangelicals use to gull parents into conversation therapy for their kids.
Conservatives have adopted much of the same liberalish compassionate language up top and horrifyingly brutal physical, emotional, and sexual abuse on the back end for drug rehabilitation and prison reform.
The American idea of love and understanding is to brainwash them into compliance with social norms, while insisting the torture they're inflicting is a kindness.
It should be noted that the framing of it as a sin was after the medical community accepted its not a mental illness. Before that it was "you're sick and need help".
“Hate the sin, love the sinner”
The problem is that people don't actually do the second, they replace "love" with "pity." Pity isn't love, it's intolerance. If you truly love someone, you won't care whether they sin or not, you'll just love them for who they are and want them to be the happiest they can be.
Whether homosexuality is a sin shouldn't be relevant at all, sin is between an individual and their god, especially in Christianity.
The problem is that people justify their intolerance by misinterpreting or misapplying phrases like these. They think things like conversion therapy is a demonstration of love, when in fact it's a demonstration of brutal intolerance.
The root of the problem here is intolerance, not the words we use to describe something.

Fuck Meta and Zuck. I wish I could stop using WhatsApp, as every other Meta product is out of my devices already.
I wish our government actually regulated these corporations so they are not able to have a tentacle in so many essential technologies.
All of the symptoms of the crushing power of techbro oligarchs are directly tied to failures of govt to regulate.

FB won't even do anything about the constant bombardment of scammer profiles that hit you if you post on any public group. They are always some attractive woman (stolen pics probably) with a profile that is a few months old and 1-2 posts at best. They always have the same message "I saw your profile pic! Friend me!" or some such crap.
My mom believes the bullshit about LGBTQ being a mental illness. Can't wait for it to get worse! Thanks Facebook!
I find homophobia to be a mental illness. I mean it’s right there in the name.
Mark was never a source of good in this world.
According to the text messages, Zuckerberg wrote, "Yeah, so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask me. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS."
In response, a friend inquired, "What? How did you manage to obtain all that?"
To which Zuckerberg callously replied, "People just submitted it. I don't know why they 'trust me.' Dumb f****."
When we start to say "bad things" about the oligarchy watch hoe fast they shut that down

Billionaires have mental illness and have negatively affected me and society as a whole more than any gay or trans person ever could.

They always did because their moderators didn’t act upon old rules anyway.
As far as internet content goes, hate is winning. All the major social media platforms have been overrun by sexist, racist, LGBTQphobic commentary. And these platforms will simply follow the money, pushing hate content via algorithms as good people leave the platforms.
