Just FYI, telling someone with mental health issues to just "grow some thicker skin" is like telling someone with a broken leg to just "walk it off".

Find me one person that hasn't at some point been whining about "mental health issues", expecting pitty and special treatment.

They're common, they're something everyone has to deal with and eventually overcome in order to grow up *mentally*.

Other than that buzzwords sure are a handy thing to fall back to when you can't be bothered to do so and resort to indulging within ever-so popular internet hugboxes instead.
As I've stated in my previous post, looking away simply won't do. So, in a way, yeah it may as well be their own fault for being unable to cope with a bit of toxicity on the internet and the overwhelming amount of people in this thread trying to defend said behaviour with such a weak argument aren't helping anyone, nor ever will.

It's a sad trend. Cowardice is encouraged and stating a bit of truth will immediatelly be met with scorn and equally toxic responses.

This thread is the living proof of that.

Sorry, but you do walk it off.
Comparing depression with a broken bone is one of the worst things you can do with it.

Depression is a wound, which should be treated, but it should never be kept still and protected.

Except this person in your analogy with a broken leg tried to enter a running competition.

If you have a delicate sense of mind, why are you jumping into a cesspool of competitive negative human toxicity?

All I'm getting out of this is OP killed a bum in PvP. Said bum was salty and let out a kneejerk reactionary comment to said death and OP took it personally. Unless said person continued to chide OP with negative comments throughout the match I really am not seeing a big deal here.

If one mere comment is all it takes to set off OP though given the nature of some groups I see in PvP one has to wonder why they were going into PvP to begin with.

people really like defending other people being mean to one another, is all I've gathered so far.

Just pointing this out there. I discovered back in middle school that I had a brain disorder and it ticked me off to no end getting the 'special treatment' when other issues were more prevalent that could've been dealt with. I never sought out special treatment, never whined about the disorder, and tried to work as best I could with it. There are likely many out there that have not whined about their disability or expected special treatment. You might not even know they have said disability due to them keeping quiet. If I got the point of your opening statement wrong, please forgive me as the way you worded it made it seem like an absolute.

lol @ making a thread that shows you're using 3rd party tools on the OF.

It is PvP this will always happen. I am not saying it is right but if you do have mental issues and low esteem why do PvP at all? I have very low self esteem and I stay far far away from PvP for that reason.

"The Say, Party, Yell, and Shout chat channels can be used during PvP matches. However, players can only see messages from members of their own team."

Yes this... Checked myself to confirm and sure enough it says this on the Feast Content Guide pages:

I appreciate what the OP wrote, but they must have been mistaken since they can't see chat from the other team (although this thread still spawned multiple pages of chat based on that misunderstanding...)
