    You do realize that comparing degrees of suffering like this is a major part of what keeps people from feeling ok talking about their mental health struggles right?

      Having your name spelled wrong on a Starbucks cup IS NOT a degree of suffering. The comic is about petty nonsense. If the comic had a white woman in it complaining about her name being wrong on a cup everyone in the comments section would call her a Karen and the comic would not be so controversial.

        And you dismissing what for some is probably the straw that breaks the camel’s back for the day is why nobody confides their problems in you.

        People are aloud to be upset about shit without being sanctimoniously lectured about starving kids in Africa that you weren’t thinking about either until they became a convenient excuse to bitchsplain why asking for the tiniest bit of empathy or commiseration actually makes them bad people for expecting a friend to act like a friend.

        It’s a fucking cup of coffee, not them complaining about being unemployed while turning job offers down left and right for being “beneath them.” Just agree it’s annoying and move on instead of turning it into a watch session of the poverty porn channel to remind them they are a bad person for not checking their privilege before wanting someone to agree it sucks their charger frayed and doesn’t work anymore.
