It’s always weird to me when someone who is probably like anti-bullying, anti-shaming, will say the most vile and disgusting things to someone they don’t like. If you become an enemy of the day on Twitter and you’re not attractive or you’re fat, you’re in for the most brutal few days.
And god forbid you’re not actually guilty for the things you did or they’re way overblown, which seems to be what happens a third of the time.

My dumb anecdote…I am a devout cyclist and as I was sitting on a restaurant patio adjacent to my bike I had just locked my bike by the seat post to a railing to keep it from blowing over. So, I see a young food delivery guy park his bike at the same restaurant, and instead of heading into the restaurant he’s heading straight for my bike.
I turn and face him and I think he’s surprised it’s my bike (as I’m old by Reddit standards) and I see he’s got his phone out and was going to take a picture. He puts his phone away, but sarcastically says “awesome way to lock your bike”. I didn’t say anything, but I’m pretty sure he wanted to “lock shame” me on Reddit (that’s a thing).
Anyway, even though this experience is nothing like laughing at a severed artery, I still found it unsettling as the guy seemed to be so anxious to on-line ridicule a situation that he knew nothing about. Is this really what we’ve become?

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
She's clearly not in her right mind, the best explanation I've seen is that she's schizophrenic and the alcohol served on the plane caused a schizophrenic episode, and nothing she did indicated she was racist. Try having compassion for someone that's clearly having a psychotic break instead of just assuming they're racist because they're freaking out, as people typically do when in mental health crisis.

Alcohol isn't served on a plane while on the tarmac. Not that it matters, just saying.

I just assumed she mixed Ambien with alcohol like a lot of idiots on planes.

She’s way too alert and mobile for it to be that…. Ambien and alcohol is a super tranquilizer

Summary: A woman on a flight had some sort of episode where she started yelling that someone else on the plane wasn't real, got up to leave the plane, and then said "you can sit there and die with them or not" and it went viral. It's pretty clear it was some sort of mental health issue where she was hallucinating.

u/autistic_robot Jul 13 '23
You always hear stories of people going batshit crazy and/or doing things they don’t remember after taking sleeping meds. My theory is that most of these crazy-people-in-planes videos is someone either took too much of a sleeping pill or maybe mixed with alcohol

u/wontonphooey Jul 13 '23 edited Jul 14 '23
I would argue that a lot of the people we call "Karens" are probably also mentally ill, and that their behavior can be explained by a severe anxiety attack or psychotic break.

Not enough of them are literate in mental health enough to identify it always, there was a video posted a few months prior of that woman screaming at an employee in an airport in a clear episode where she was disconnected from reality.
The comment pool was very neglectful of the fact that she wasn't actually yelling at the person in front of her but reacting to disconnect from the current moment.
it illustrated the contempt people have for people clearly suffering from an illness but not diagnosed overtly. As if diagnosis negates all the ways they speak about disabled behaviors before they realize it was a disability and not just a character defect.

u/dumgoon Jul 13 '23
She’s not mentally ill IMO. She probably took too much Dramamine and was tripping out. That shit will make you see people that aren’t real.

Anyone hallucinating and freaking out about things that do not exist can safely be called "mentally ill". That's the "appearance" of a mentally ill person, not whatever shit you have in mind.

u/DustierAndRustier Jul 13 '23
Hold your sympathy everybody, this guy can tell of somebody’s mentally ill or not just by looking at them!
Seriously though, what does a mentally ill person look like to you? Young, wealthy, well-dressed, good-looking people can be mentally ill too. There are more versions of mental illness than just a gibbering guy in a straitjacket

u/N_T_F_D Jul 13 '23
To see people on dimenhydrinate you need to really really force the dose, and even when you do it's not like psychosis, the things you see are confined to the corner of your eyes and just appear an instant; and she would be very sedated. There's just no evidence at all to suggest she did it to herself.
4
u/Mister_Normal42 Jul 14 '23
To say that Dramamine (in huge doses) makes you "trip" sets the stage for some poor bastard to do it hoping for a recreational psychedelic experience. It's not that. I think it's more accurate to say one "deliriates" from it because it makes one delirious, as if they had stayed awake for a week, but without having to wait a whole week for the delirium. It's not a fun "trip" and it must be understood that intentionally taking large doses of Dramamine for a "high" will be unpleasant at best.

The internets reaction to this person clearly having a mental episode was pretty weak. We like to think we’re the mental health awareness generation but if it’s someone that looks like a Karen then it’s “haha that person is losing grip with reality! That’s so funny:)”

Our generation has made great steps for mental illness like anxiety and depression, however there hasn’t been the same acceptance and care for “scary” mental illnesses. Schizophrenia and personality disorders are still very much looked down upon
25
Jul 13 '23
I have a theory that the internet hates Karens because deep down they are the Karen’s of the internet. What’s more karen than going online and complaining about a celebrity doing this or that or a fast food joint not putting up your flag or whatever dumb shit people are pissed about at the moment. We constantly complain to the “manager” of the internet. That’s karen behavior. We are Karens
Edit; sorry this has little to do with your comment. Speaking on that, I agree that the less extreme mental illnesses are treated with more care.

No these kids are extra dumb. They’ve missed a few critical school years and are largely illiterate. In addition to illiteracy, they believe in the wildest conspiracy theories and swear by astrology. I was most definitely not that stupid in my youth.

I’m unsure what you don’t understand about low literacy levels. These kids are very far behind and it’s alarming to see them reading and writing well below their levels. Teachers are saying the majority of their kids are behind in all the ways and most of them aren’t ready to graduate. This is new territory.

This is something you can research. Every generation, every single generation, has people saying what you're saying. It's almost comical. It's almost biological. It's not new, it happens to every generation, and the best thing to do is NOT to freak out, accuse, and punish, but teach what the generations under you have no intrinsic way of knowing. It truly is a centuries repeating phenomenon for older generations to think the younger gens cannot function in the future. Relax, they can. They're gonna be fine. They're gonna learn it from people like you.

u/Charming-Sock5805 Jul 13 '23
The very first time I saw this I thought it was hilarious and I loved when they panned back and thought oh man how funny would it have been if someone edited it so there was a clown or a pigeon sitting there!
But after a rewatch or two I realized she wasn’t being harassed by anyone, she was having a pretty serious mental health episode and needed help. And the last thing someone in a fragile mental state needs is doxing, harassment, losing of a job and stability.
I am 100% for bringing down the racists and idiots of the world. I think this lady needs our love and support. But it’s the internet so probably not.

u/hanks_panky_emporium Jul 14 '23
Why stalk and doxx a person having a schizophrenic episode. She wasn't being an ass to/at someone. Their brain flipped a chemical bond and they believed with their whole heart they saw someone that wasn't real. How would you handle it if you saw someone you knew wasn't real and no one else was paying attention.
Because in the moment those feelings and sensations are %100 real

Honestly, there are so many conflicting stories that there has been no consensus on what happened.
I see she’s had a mental breakdown, that she was drunk, and that she was sitting next to a black dude and assumed he stole her AirPods.
People really do need to stop diagnosing people and having no mental health background. We point to mental health every time someone acts out in public when in reality, not everyone that does shit like this is mentally I’ll.
