I think the reason that people railing against BPD is such a red flag is that it tends to mean “the medical system says you’re hateable”, more often than not.

And if someone is saying people are hateable AND invoking psychiatric authority, bad things happen.

Yeah it’s that and it’s something else too.

It’s often that they themselves are super-sensitive about the traits that they ascribe to BPD people because they themselves have the traits they ascribe to BPD people (usually “manipulative” is a big one… I remember this one person I knew IRL railing constantly about how she was always meeting “manipulative people with BPD who refuse to take responsibility and are really creepy”, and I don’t know if this person had BPD or not, it’s really irrelevant, but she was manipulative, refused to take responsibility, and was really creepy).
