no one reported on it here and the movie just came out, I thought it was relevant
OT; hate to put a damper on everyone's goodie goodie two-shoes attitude, but I think mental illness is scary
it's not normal, it's hard to deal with and it has the capability to cause a ton of pain and suffering (see most Hardcore Gamers)
it is the perfect plot for a horror movie because of how unpredictable and dangerous it really is
that being said, that's WHY it needs to be treated properly and in such a way as to ensure it doesn't ruin anyone's lives

Rather ignorant thing to say. A mental illness exaggerated for theatric effect is rightly scary and there's nothing wrong with that. But mental illness is such a broad term you're implying everybody with depression to schizophrenia is scary. That's exactly the sort of stigma worth complaining about. Lots of Flash Mob is spawned from violent disorders but you're a fool if you think the average mentally ill person is scary--they're probably just a normal person struggling to get help and function in society. Perhaps get out and meet more people.
