Is this satire ?
Do this guy really thinks this?

I'm talking about the comment and not fantano.
Just making sure that we are all in the same page.
Why do you need validation?

It had a lot of dislikes and I went to see the comments, you can disagree with anything that fantano says but you can't defend this "is depression trendy " bullshit
>>69550531
It is literally a trend.

Also people talk about it a lot more and it's fashionable.
That comment must be from someone entirely disconnected from internet culture. "I have crippling depression but I'm hilarious so people don't worry about me whenI make suicide/depression jokes." Has been the thing for a good while. I hope to God it's satire/bait otherwise that's just sad.

You can probably also look to /fa/ and their dumb threads about what's effay or not. Plenty of times you'll see depression and shit brought up as fashionable. I'm pretty sure I remember a thread all about the most "fashionable" mental illnesses.
That's not to say depression hasn't been on the rise or whatever for youths, but it definitely has a trendy status at the moment. Whether this new publicity is good for mental health, I dunno. I feel like shitty "lol so quirky and depressed, but I'm cool" memes aren't doing any good.

/fa/ is pretty autistic but /mu/ is worse by far
>>69552036
/mu/ isn't autistic, just extremely unfunny
>>69552036
Among the boards I browse, while /mu/ might contain some high octane autism, /fa/ is by far the most self-conscious and potentially self-destructive. I feel like fitness is catching on more than frailty, but the thinspo threads persist. Plus there've been a number of trips that've popped up in the past few months, and while none are complete shitters, they make some threads feel too echo-y (in a board obsessed with passing judgement, no less).
