Yeah nowadays normal people with their individual thoughts, opinions an perspectives are commonly perceived as "mentally off", because the only social "normality" people know comes from TV shows, Youtube channels and other heavily restricted environments. Where everything is curated, censored, free speech is banned and information pre-chewed to target lowest-denominator mass audiences. You don't even know what pub culture in the 80s or internet discussions were like in the 90s, in the pre-Iphone era. Where actual people actually talked freely and openly, and there was no filter system installed to make everything r3tard-friendly. Thank god this forum still exists and allows some degree of actually normal social interaction.
People having their own thoughts and opinions: very few people want to deal with that anymore in today's world, because it is so "stressful" to them. People on Instagram even make videos that they can't sleep at night, because some person presented a "dumb viewpoint" on Reddit that they cannot defeat, and thoughts race in their head how the other person is "dumb" and they are not, but for some reason that escapes them, they can't figure out how for hours and days and then just have to plug the internet to fix it. It is a genuine problem of billions of people that they cannot process rational discussions, because their entire world model is not founded on rationality, but some superficial belief into other people's actions and opinions, who they assign authority to. And as soon as someone can write more than 500 characters in one message, it can all fall apart and they suffer some sort of identity crisis. So people try plugging their ears and shutting their eyes as hard as possible, unless the speaker has some sort of safety sticker next to their name. And people without those stickers are stereotyped as mentally disturbed. That's the new internet we live in today.
