i get that, and i&#x27;m probably oversensitive.  there is some semi-açcurate analogy to be made w&#x2F; the use of racial epithets w&#x2F;in and outside of racial groups here.  playfulness can be fine (to a point) in polite company, but it&#x27;s helpful to be a little more guarded w&#x2F; language in open forums.<p>idk, i just recently had an experience with overhearing a conversation that used not just &quot;crazy&quot; but specifically &quot;bipolar&quot;  in a way that made me feel uncomfortable&#x2F;marginalized.  that&#x27;s on me for being oversensitive, but it&#x27;s totally on other ppl&#x2F;society for not recognizing that &quot;mentally ill&quot; ppl do a lot of useful and producive things, that w&#x2F; proper care it&#x27;s possible to do just a&#x2F;b anything someone w&#x2F;o a (diagnosed) condition can do, and for lumping an actually variegated an nonhomogeneous group of ppl together under a few easy labels.<p>uuugh, enough hn for a while, one way or another.
