Neat.

Okay not that I don't think the joke isn't funny or clever, because it is, I still don't like when people trivialize mental illness.

It's not something physical and quantifiable like cerebral palsy. And it still has a huge stigma, at least in the United States.

I had severe and I mean just fucking horrible, debilitating OCD as a kid. I still have it pretty bad but not nearly as bad as when I was around 8. I was going to kill myself in third grade, nervous breakdowns every day, and I was on antidepressants , I've even been to a psych ward for it. just to give you a picture of the shit show that was my childhood because of OCD.

That hurt so badly. I was kind of ostracized for being a weirdo because I had to wash my hands 50 times a day and I was a germaphobe, but they were soooo OCD about keeping their lockers organized.

It was because it was just trivialized, and as an adult it still is. I still don't tell people about the horribleness of the disorder, I crack jokes so people think I'm normal and not a weirdo because if I told them just how horrible it was, they'd look at me differently and think I was odd. But haha it's so funny how you can crack a joke about the disorder and then judge the shit out people with severe mental illnesses.

If you're someone who knows how truly awful the disorder is, respects the victims of the disorder, and then makes a sarcastic or ironic joke about it, I'm all for it, there's many quirky parts of it that can be really funny in keeping with dark humor.

If you're someone who's just blindly repeating a saying about a disorder you think is equate with being a Danny Tanner personality then fuck you dude, I am offended. You're ignorant and keeping people from actual mental illness from speaking up because they think nobody will take them seriously.
