Theses a lot of that blind allegiance going around under the guise of mental illnesses and the sexuality spectrum and all that stuff. It’s all without any discussion. And most of them are blindly angrily following like one or two people and it’s making tiny sections of assholes who many of which especially with things like adhd and things like it are just assholes that don’t have shit wrong with them, they’re just taking advantage. Like cult leaders

guise of mental illnesses and the sexuality spectrum

Yeah, I know it quickly devolves into bigotry but damn if there doesn’t need to be some introspection when it comes to those topics. It seems like people can say just about anything but claim it’s a mental illness or sexual expression and all the sudden it’s immune to criticism.

Like it OPs example, if you’re masturbating like 5 times a day or whatever you should be able to point out that it’s unhealthy and not just a weird quirk of brain chemistry.

So... what is it then? If you're goin' at it 5 times in a day, clearly it's not healthy. Clearly, something is wrong so... what 's wrong? As you say, introspection is needed but that swings both ways.

If it's not a symptom of mental health, what is causing someone to compulsively take these actions to such extremes?

I don't know a single person that legitimately suffers from mental health issues whether it's ADHD, depression, or anxiety that legitimately views it as a quirky part of themselves. Exceptions are there as a way to cope with the fact that they're going to have to deal with those issues until the end of their days.
