here let me spell it out
1. this has nothing to do with people who have been formally diagnosed with SPD
2. this has everything to do with 'schizoid' as an understood term in psychoanalysis eg. in the work of Guntrip et al
3. this is about how waifus are enjoyed
4. this is postulating that the enjoyment of waifus works in the same way as a schizoid's withdrawal/regression and investment of libido in internal fantasy objects
5. and that changes in the broader sphere of cultural production vis-a-vis the kinds of characters people do make waifus of have knock-on effects within the sphere of these inner fantasies
6. diagnosis is an external imposition and there is no 'normal' mind - you will have systems that work in schizoid ways, in narcissistic ways, in borderline ways, whatever, human beings are not consistent and under no obligation to be. nowhere repeat nowhere is the claim made that people who have waifus are necessarily mentally ill - as with everyone, they might be or they might not - so foh with that 'completely insulting' shit. if the PD diagnosed are actually offended they'll come forward themselves, they don't need you to white knight for them
your complaint that I speak in the 'voice of God' is really nothing more than being salty that I don't prefix everything with "this is just what I think, feel free to disagree, but ETC". and all that says about me is that I choose to own what I say and you don't
