>>64397I think butthurt, antisocial tendencies, "learned" schizoid and autistic behavior,… are so inextricably linked that they need to be considered as part of a bigger, broader 'way of thinking', an anally retentive analogue to the real autistic spectrum (similar.
I dont think a normal or succesful well-adjusted person can have *any* of the traits above. They might be performatively weird, or participate in "meme hate" against the french or the british, but its a meme to them because they legitimately cannot be butthurt, offended or socially inept enough to genuinely hate britain for no real reason.
Antisocials are spiritually miserable and NEED to hate. You see this a lot in political poasters all over the spectrum, they switch hate targets several times a year, sometimes several times a month.
Butthurt-able people are not "butthurt by" as your map says, they're just butthurt in general.
It comes from a place of genuine mental illness, a mix of inferiority complex and paranoia wherem for example, a regular british man will be butthurt by dozens of completely unrelated countries. He'll have takes on southern europe, the balkans, eastern europe and russia, the middle east, china,…
This is completely outside of the framework of a normal healthy brain just like a normal healthy adult doesnt want to kill himself.
A normal person cannot be butthurt in any way that matters.
>Furthermore, as to the nature of butthurt itself, do you consider butthurt an illness or a mental disorder?Its severe mental illness of the same dimension as depression.
In the same way depression generates suicidal ideation and neuroticism, butthurt syndrome generates hemorroidical intrusive thoughts and short tempered autistic outbursts.
However since I think you can 'develop' this condition, its more akin to cult brainwashing than it is a medical mental disorder.
>Post-traumatic syndrome is the cause of many of butthurt's cases. An exmaple would be something like "I like a girl but she doesn't like me back, then I shitpost on reddit for 2 years, now I'm an angry, autistic, man-child who can't stop thinking about how mean that girl was and I can't see her face without feeling nauseated".Good take but this only affects butthurtable people. A normal person would mope around for a week and then move on.
There's a previous condition here that is triggered by what would be a very minor traumatic event.
You also see this a lot in online politics. People getting assblasted by inane offhand comments and spend the next several years building up hate towards completely unrelated people.
European/American back and forth online hate is almost exclusively because of this.
To circle back to my original point, only mentally ill people have the time and lack of social skills necessary to be on the internet for long enough. They inevitably run into more mentally ill people, wilfully misread completely inane comments, butthurt someone else, and the other party does the same thing to them.
Only the mentally ill are butthurtable, so any butthurt map is actually "percentage of mentally ill posters".
Easy examples of this are altchans such as this one, where the more you deviate from the mainstream the more diseased, antisocial and butthurt the average poster becomes.
