You're deliberately oversimplifying, decontextualising and exaggerating the symptoms, and it is unlikely your spitefulness and anger extend beyond an occasional comment that you write online. It seems as if you really really want to be perceived as nonconformist and against the system, which is colloquially known as "being an edgelord", and that doesn't count as a disorder.

insane person that needs to be locked up and given drugs

Again, making shit up. Show me where the article mentions locking up the person.

No, you're just making excuses for doctors to gaslight people into thinking everything is fine and the problem is with them. How about you do better and not be such a blatant bootlicker? This kind of shit reminds me of business insider articles trying to convince poor people that poverty and climate apocalypse aren't causing a wave of mental illness, or that the solution to it is just more drugs

I'm not making excuses, because I don't intend to excuse behaviour that at the very least isn't typical, and more likely is just made up. As it is, you've provided no reasonable proof the situation in OP picture is typical or even real in any situation whatsoever (a cursory check of what the diagnosis is about suggests the situation isn't realistic), and you deliberately misinterpreted the diagnosis and exaggerated your "symptoms".

What I'm criticising here is a misinterpretation of a particular psychological diagnosis. Nowhere did I say "everything is fine", nowhere did I say psychological issues in general are merely individual issues. That's a whole other story. If I claimed Donald Trump rapes dead babies, and someone came and said that's ridiculous and there's no proof, is that person a Trump bootlicker? Fuck no. So why is criticism of this (as far as I can see for now) made-up idea that ODD diagnosis is abused this way "bootlicking"?
