Wow, LJ fail. (Shock! SHOCK!)

IN A NEWS POST, they wrote "Want to make the most of those mood swings?"

Want to make the most of those mood swings?

How flippant about mental illness can you be, seriously?

I mean, they wrote it as an intro to talking about how you can use mood themes, which, whatever, they want to promote the features of their site, but ... really? REALLY?!

Whatevs. I'll just be over here shaking my head & glad that I'm on DW about 1000x more than LJ these days. If you need an invite code for Dw, hit me up in the comments. (You can import your lj, if you're worried about that.)

Ugh.

I have a bunch of invite codes as well, so if you need more just let me know!

[rydra_wong]

Yeah, I saw that and winced.

[mercredigirl]

What?! I'll give them moodswings, I will... URGH.

[erika]

I mean, granted that I'm a little oversensitive on the topic of mood swings, but ... that's just fucking insensitive, in my opinion.

[erika]

Totally OT, but I love your icon. Where's it from?

[rydra_wong]

It's partly the context and past history, I think -- you know that if someone calls them on it, there's not going to be an immediate "Oh shit, sorry" response; they'll ignore it unless there are lots of people screaming, in which case there'll be a belated corporate "We're sorry if anyone was offended" reply.

[erika]

Right. Whereas I feel like if I called somebody on that shit that worked at DW HQ they'd be like "oh shit, we fucked up, sorry!" Probably with less profanity.

[mercredigirl]

It's from an Avatar: the Last Airbender icon-maker, aws_icons. :)

[sporky_rat]

Less public profanity anyway.
