In my observation, when we are younger, beliefs function differently. Much more difficult to break and reform. They tend to be entrenched with identity rather than just seperate ideas. I never said beliefs were permanent. Also, using a bit more AI again are we? -
This response is cope, cope for not being able to deal with someone disagreeing with you. Even if the disagreement is not even in full! There is value in fiction for self development. Not everyone needs concepts, metaphors and ideas packaged in a certain obvious way for a message to get across.

Mental illness itself doesn't carry moral value. It's a state of health. Morality usually applies to actions, intentions and decisions. Not to the presence of an illness. The action can have moral judgement applied, but the illness influencing those actions isn't 'good' or 'bad' itself. Mental illness can also impact judgement, impulse control or perception. This can reduce or complicate responsibility. It doesn't automatically remove it in every case - it acts more like a spectrum. -
Have we read gen alpha and z writing? No generation is cringe - humans and group think are cringe 🤣

Ouch, I hope we are all joking. Mental illness doesn't make one better or worse in any universal sense. Sufferers are more challenging to be close too. They can be better or worse, good or bad, for you, as an individual, in personal relationship. -

The only type of abuse this could fall under would be abuse of power. Age of consent, and consent in general, is central to this line of argument. Due to just how entrenched and permanent some beliefs can be - especially while we are still developing - it is almost a permanent psychological belief tattood in an unseen way. We see this again and again with users here even, who leave their religion, have some trips or spiritual breakthroughs - and remix/interpret it as Christ or Jesus (just an example). Thus returning to their past indoctrination. Physical circumcision performed on infants without consent (barbaric imo). Only a circumcision for the mind. -

There's a lot of cases that have been investigated. I've shared this before, but it is quite a compelling listen! Enjoy 😃 https://youtu.be/4RGizqsLumo?si=qgfH1G2JQeAJjFaP -

The movie inspired me to read the novel. Movie was CHILLING in the best way - I was gripped the whole time. I love the performances!

I wonder if your own personal self inquiry is being put to other purposes though.... *constipated smiley face* -

🎯 If only there was a bullseye emoji with like, ten fucken' darts in the centre, I would award this for every sentence here! -
Best Mechanical Pencil uni Kuru Toga ^ I like this - but I use it for drafting plans and fine line work (crosshatching etc for art pieces) so it is a multi-application solution. I will check your rec's out! What grade of lead do you prefer?

Most earnest teachers will tell the student the final step is to discard and abandon the teacher. Integrate the teaching and then leave it. Else you make it another part of your conditioning or attachment. All ground has to go, in the end. It goes both ways - for teacher and student.
