also, as a mentally ill person, if i can borrow some lingo from @David Dennison and the rest of the insufferable SJW’s/perma-victims, simone biles needs to check her privilege. she quit on her team and her country in the middle of the biggest moment of all of their lives and she was a hero for it because she did it for “mental health” reasons, even though she’s not actually mental ill, just under the typical pressure of an olympic athlete.
do you think any actually mentally ill people get to just tell their team, employer, subordinates, etc “hey i’m leaving right now and coming back whenever i feel like it at an undetermined time” and have it go over well? you think they get treated like heroes? how do you think it’s gone in my life whenever i needed to take time off work for my actual, real, life altering mental health reasons? you think i was treated like a hero? do you think i got even a modicum of understanding or support from my bosses and coworkers?
this chick has lived her entire life in a fairytale bubble where everything she does is perfect, where she’s one of the top 1% of the top 1% of athletes of all time, in an era where women have more support and less oppression than they ever have, and she *still* won’t shut the fuck up about how men oppress her and all women. yeah. your take sucks, my take is correct, and i’m gonna stand by it. fuck people with uber privileged and easy lives who play the victim for the love and support that it gets them, and who bastardize mental health awareness without actually doing anything good for anyone who’s actually mentally ill. simone needs to take her uber privileged ass, accept her award, and fuck off without the ad hominem bullshit about how oppressive and terrible men are. fuck all of that, and fuck anyone so eager to be faux virtuous that they defend it.
