Deranged Grindr Syndrome (or DGS) is a psychiatric condition affecting an unknown number of gay men who use Grindr for sexual purposes. People with DGS may exhibit a wide variety of antisocial or psychotic symptoms including:
- Ghost-facing: Attempting to engage in chat with other users without having any pics of themselves
- Hole-bombing: Sending unsolicited images of their gaping holes to complete strangers
- Pic-collecting: Requesting images from other people when they haven’t shared any pics of themselves
- Wounded ego: Impaired ability to cope with rejection, such as demanding an explanation for why a complete stranger is not attracted to them
- Silent treatment: Engaging in extensive chat with another user and indicating an interest in meeting up for sex, and then going silent and never responding again
- Ghost-meeting (different from ghost-facing): making an actual plan with someone from the app to meet in person, exchanging location details and setting a specific time, and then ghosting the person with no warning or explanation
- Stalking: tracking another user’s online presence and bombarding them with messages each time they come online
If you or someone you love suffers from DGS, help is available. Speak to a mental health professional.

Deranged Grindr Syndrome is like when some rando with no face pic hole-bombs you with 15 photos of their gaping anus and then demands that you unlock your private album.

Get the Deranged Grindr Syndrome mug.Canadians and Europeans are the most likely to have it. It's a sickness in which individuals live such uninteresting lives that their only source of enjoyment is hating on the world's greatest nation. The most common symptoms include flexing irrelevant geographic information that no one cares about, flexing free healthcare that comes with a tax rate four times that of the average American, and flexing colonial wealth from Africans' backs (Françafrique).
European: whats the capital, coat of arms, head of state and date of formation of Montenegro?
American: Who tf cares?
European: Bro you stupid American schools suck, smh
American: You got American Derangement Syndrome

Get the Steel Derangement Syndrome mug.This is the actual comprehensive definition of TDS / Trump Derangement Syndrome.
(All the other definitions appear to be people just throwing mud at each other.)
TDS is a blend of psychological phenomena related to bias, prejudice, and cognitive distortion. It was coined Trump Derangement Syndrome due to the extreme hatred of Donald Trump by the managerial class/establishment and the NPCs and/or low information voters that follow their command.
TL:DR
In simple terms, this phenomenon occurs when someone is so biased that they interpret everything from a person or thing they dislike in the most negative way possible. For instance, if you wave hello and say good morning, they might think your friendly gestures are actually hidden insults or ominous threats. It's a form of "persecutory paranoia" and/or "hostile attribution bias".
Projection issues for those suffering from TDS:
People with TDS often see any neutral or positive stance as covert support for the person they hate, assuming that those who don't share their negative view are hidden supporters. This reinforces their paranoia and resistance to differing viewpoints.
These factors create a syndrome where hatred or bias blinds people to objective information and critical thinking, leading them to embrace propaganda, avoid independent analysis, and cling to their negative views.

Examples of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome:
Simple Example: Sarah, who dislikes John, interprets his friendly “Good morning” and smile as a disguised insult. She believes he’s mocking her, even though his intentions are completely harmless.
Real Life Example: Destiny (YouTube) is a prime example of someone exhibiting extreme TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). (Also see: The Rationalization Hamster)

I swear to god, he's lost it. Last night, my roommate was screaming and ranting, Alex Jones style in the discord chat about how furries are apparently causing the downfall of western civilization. I think he's starting to develop Furry Derangement Syndrome.

Get the Furry Derangement Syndrome mug.An irrational attachment to Elon Musk, believing that the South African trust fund baby is some kind of super-genius, a sort of real-life Tony Stark, even though he didn't invent any element of SpaceX's rockets - he merely bought the company - nor did he invent any part of Tesla Motors' electric cars - he merely bought the company - nor did he create x.com - he merely bought Twitter, the most successful and popular site online, and turned it into a foul pit of bigotry.
Now that Elon is destroying one Federal agency after another with authority handed to him by donald trump, he is being credited with "ending waste" and thereby "saving billions", when he has merely shut down important functions of one of the world's great powers and cut their operations out of the Federal budget - and usually only reducing Federal outlays by a few million.
