How mental health became a social media minefield

a video where “cakegender” was given its own pride flag meant to represent “people who feel light and fluffy.”

I quickly want to point out how I recently posted a comment on a thread here about how I find these people ridiculous. Along with other extremely online behavior that I find annoying and generally am not accepting of. And some of the response I got, which is the usual response I get now since I've ceased my extremely online behavior, is similar to what this article describes in this following passage:

It’s difficult to talk about this sort of discursive overreach without sounding like a far-right reactionary; indeed, criticisms of over-pathologization have come from conservatives who argue that, to generalize, it’s all just a bunch of self-obsessed liberal snowflake eggheads. “One of the biggest problems is that the far right has correctly identified that this is happening — that the discourse and identity policing has gotten out of control,” Moskowitz tells me, to the point where it becomes hard for others to push back against it without sounding as though you’re siding with an ideology they don’t adhere to. “There needs to be a strong, leftist stance of ‘we’re not going to do this identity-pathology policing thing anymore, but that doesn’t make us reactionaries.’”

I guess I would be considered a leftist, but I don't particularly like associating with online leftist circles since they're usually LARPers or dumb teenagers trying on different ideologies. So I tend to call myself a liberal (which is the truth anyway since Social Democrats are liberals), in order to avoid being clumped in with all that. Part of the reason I do that now is because it's easier not to get cancelled for not being hyper-accepting of everything or for criticizing individuals who fall into specific categories. I've briefly talked about how I got cancelled on leftist twitter, the reason I got cancelled was because I said a specific twitter account was unfunny. It so happened that this person was a woman. So then I got called an incel for saying that, and how I only said that because deep down I have a hatred for women. To boil it down, I one-hundred percent agree with this.
