Something awful dot com was recently sued by a former goon and it was literally the gooniest fuckin lawsuit, studded with incredible lines like a currant bun is with currants: One of those lines is now an insanely potent gangtag: and YOU, yes, you, can have it as your own!  All you have to do is donate to one of these charities and post proof in thread, a screenshot with your details blacked out will be fine, we'll take care of the rest. Amount is up to you,  is plenty.Chicago Coalition for the Homeless quote:Our organization leads strategic campaigns, community outreach, and public policy initiatives that target the lack of affordable housing in metropolitan Chicago and across Illinois. Strong Minds quote:StrongMinds is a social enterprise founded in 2013 that provides life-changing mental health services to impoverished African women. Since many African women cannot even begin to tackle issues like poverty and economic development until they overcome depression, StrongMinds provides treatment for women who suffer from this pervasive and debilitating mental illness. By providing group talk therapy delivered by community health workers, StrongMinds is the only organization scaling a cost-effective solution to the depression epidemic in Africa. National Children's Cancer Society quote:The National Children's Cancer Society (NCCS) tirelessly and compassionately supports families making their way through the daunting world of childhood cancer. With over thirty years of experience serving more than 45,000 children, NCCS has become a master navigator of this world, helping families get where they need to be - physically, financially and emotionally - to give them hope, and to give their children the best possible shot at survival. If you would prefer to donate but not get the tag, just say 'no tag'. We'll keep this open for a few days.

Junk posted:interesting how mocking the mentally ill is frowned upon by the sa forums until times like this where it's arbitrarily cool Mental illness sucks. It completely, absolutely, ruined my life and I'm disabled and can't work. But someone is suing SA and that's funny. It's unfortunate that he is mentally ill but since it's now in the legal system it's hard to not laugh. Although I can see the hypocrisy.

Junk posted:interesting how mocking the mentally ill is frowned upon by the sa forums until times like this where it's arbitrarily cool My brother in christ, I dont think many people are mocking the mentally ill. I agree that the circumstances are just sad. It is sad and sucks that this man and many people like him are unwell. But the things written in the lawsuits are funny. It is funny that a judge and some law clerks had to sit down and write things in their legal notes like "[PLAINTIFF] alleges people do not like his posts online" or "[DEFENDANT URL] allegedly redirected most traffic toward buffalo wild wings." I won't ever say anyone is wrong to be mad about the idea of making fun of people who are struggling with mental illness, but at least be mad about it in the threads where people are posting memes about the quote, and not the thread that is about donating to charities that support disadvantaged people. I would rather someone laugh at an unwell person's words and then donate money to mental health support organizations than everyone say the 100% "right" thing 100% of the time but not donate, wouldn't you?

I have an immediate family member with schizophrenia, though not as severe as this gentleman's. I've suffered from irrational paranoia and other schizophrenia-typical symptoms (such as thought broadcasting) at various times in my life. I worry a lot that those genes may one day crop up in me in a more severe, permanent form, if they haven't already, especially if I have an eventual bad reaction to some sort of drug (of which I have had many and continue to try many in an attempt to treat my other mental/physical illnesses), because that is a known trigger. I think schizophrenia isn't something to be taken lightly and that his problems are very sad and I hope he somehow manages to get the lasting, effective help he deserves. It is by the grace of God none of us are in his shoes. All that said, the filings are funny as gently caress out of context and especially the gangtag's highlighted part. I think you can carry the knowledge of both "paranoid schizophrenia is an awful experience that is very difficult to treat and America's mental healthcare system and welfare safety nets profoundly fail a sizable amount of people" and "it is objectively funny to say something like 'Almost every result is buffalowildwings.com' in a lawsuit against The Entirety Of Google". I hope people can understand that, and not assume everyone having a giggle is a neurotypical mocking the mentally ill for kicks. Also, I love to support a good cause. I would like this tag. Please and thank you.

Honestly if you can look at that document and not see evidence mental illness I do not know what to tell you. Re: mocking the mentally ill, I feel like there's a difference between mocking a mentally ill person and laughing at the weird poo poo they do to try to take you down. Like, I can find it atrocious that this dude is not receiving care he obviously needs, find his situation sad and terrifying, and also think that "Users are told how to post on the rules page" is a funny complaint. And that the gangtag is a big mood. Puppy Time fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Apr 16, 2022 |
