I don't think using someone's own insecurities against them because they were a jerk is quite the same as being truly hurtful to people who are actually going through mental distress.

    Or is the former just being used as a cover for the latter?

    Sure, maybe they're just jerky to everyone, but making prejudiced presuppositions is the same stereotyping that everyone should avoid.

    Yeah, but it doesn't change at all how I responded. Perhaps it is YOU who needs help understanding the response.

    It might not change how you responded, but it does change how relevant it is to what I said. I didn't condone any prejudices presuppositions. I said maybe "using their insecurities against them" is just an excuse to be an asshole.
