As the title suggests, over the last couple of days there's been an influx of doomer comments over the SKG petition. While it's fine to disagree, I'm finding it suspicious that there weren't comments like this posted a week or 2 ago

Excuse the ignorance, what's the difference?

    Putting the focus on the personal struggle of managing the symptoms is more empathetic, and using the full name of the diagnosis instead of contracted nouns helps avoid using slurs and/or dehumanising the patent.

    You've got a typo there. Unless you can prove that said person was indeed diagnosed with such disability by an appropriate medical authority, let's not use such term that could either be considered defamation, or at least medical disinformation. (/i)

    People say what they intend to say, not what you wish them to. If you believe they are incorrect, no need to be pedantic about it. Just argue why, you'd find out people are way more open to arguments when they do not feel like you are condidering them as idiots.

    Narcissists are literally destroying our planet and our way of life, but let's make sure we don't offend anyone when we mention them.

    Your comment has a typo. You meant to write "human beings who developed narcissistic personality disorder due to childhood trauma and now struggle with identity and empathy to the detriment of their own wellbeing as described in the DSM 5 are literally destroying our planet and our way of life"
