Pride Illnesses

Once included in the DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual) a labeled syndrome is more likely to be covered by insurance. Hence, we've become a nation of mental illness syndromes.

Don't forget spectrum autism and adhd. Also they love the whole cut off from toxic people bullshit. Guess what, when you are delusional and people don't buy it, you are the toxic one and cutting of the sane will only make you more ridiculous. Seems all of the unicorn freaks I'm Facebook friends with take a sick pleasure in identifying with malady.

autism and ADHD are more conditions

Shit, youre displaying your own illness to the world now. Awesome. I'm here for you bro if you wanna talk.

Wow a reskinned "I know you are but what am I". Weak.

you know they have no idea what theyre doing when the HETEROSEXUAL FLAG IS IN THERE

Shut up you homophobe

I don't care what consenting adults in the privacy of their own bedroom, how is questioning make believe genders and sexual orientations being a homophobe?

sorry that was aggressive. But yea, I'm pretty sure that saying that being gay, lesbian, trans, non binary, and intersex ect is a mental illness, yea that makes you a homophobe. And you literally included the intersex flag here... and its literally a medical term, it isn't "make believe" even if you don't think gay people, trans people, other people exist really.

The old pride flag was fine, this one is garish, ugly and frankly contains a lot of stuff that I have no clue is supposed to even represent. Gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people exist, I understand that but it is the "there are 50 genders" and naming a sexual orientation for practically everything is what I am questioning here. I guess I offended some snowflake in either site or stream moderation to get this unfeatured from the politics stream, which suprises me as that is a first for me.

ohhh wait that's a FLAG?? yea no thats a very ugly flag, and kinda defeats the purpose. and I agree, the microlableing is definitely exceessive, but I still think its not great to label it a mental illness

Yes, it is technically speaking supposed to be a flag that some basketball team made to pander, I thought it was obvious that I didn't create that ugly thing. I still stand by the mental illness message and all the snowflakes getting offended proves my point.

I still think that u saying LGBTQ people are mentally ill is homophobic, whether or not I agree wiht you on the micro-labeling. Question... am I mentally ill simply because I like the same gender? would you consider me mentally ill?

No, I am not saying that gays, lesbians, bisexuals or intersex are mentally ill, though I am saying that all of this other stuff stems from mental illness. I have nothing against trans people, but Gender Dysphoria is a diagnosable mental condition that does a great deal of harm to people and should never have been made a fad. The rest of these people on the other hand who say they are "genderqueer" or "nonbinary" can go f**k themselves.

Ok, yes agreed with you. And I do believe that non binary people actually exist (I know non binary 30 year olds, they aren't following fads, just living their life). However, I do agree that some people who feel like they are non binary but aren't actually microlable themselves because of some mental problem they have. But you don't really say this on your meme... you just say that you think all queer people are mentally ill

You have given me some things to think about, apologies for the initial hostile response. I explained my initial intended message, but I am now wondering if a reasonable person can misconstrue this? Like I said this is the first time I have had any memes I created get unfeatured and I have created a lot of controversial memes. It is possible I may create something an alternate meme that is hopefully a tad more clear.

Ohh ok, sorry what does unfeatured mean? (I joined imgflip recently, I don't really konw how it works)... sorry if I negatively impacted you! :)

ha ha well, mine was much more aggressive, and I apologize as well :)

When you upload a meme you have the ability to have it "featured" in various streams depending on the content of the meme in question. If a meme is featured in a stream that means it is more likely to be seen by more people, though if a meme isn't seen in a stream it can still be seen by a broader audience but is far less likely to be. A stream moderator approves requests for being featured in a stream, though if a meme violates site rules or deemed to not fit the category of the stream than it can be rejected or unfeatured after it has been previously approved. In this case the meme was previously approved to be featured, and then got unfeatured.

oh, I'm sorry! well thanks for considering my side, and I'm really happy we found common ground. (you cant say that for most people on here, so I really respect you)... ttyl!

No, that is not my intended message because I see the old flag as representing something entirely different from this mess and frankly I thought that that would be obvious. One of the main reasons why this angers me so much is because I am concerned this will lead to things going backwards. I may not be LGBT, but as someone on the Autism spectrum I still know what it is like to be ostracized for being different.

Ok, that makes sense, I am also concerned about things going backwards, but I think this is actually a necessary (yet annoying) step to going forwards. Thanks for clarifying :)

(for the record I do not have any medically diagnosed mental illnesses)
