socio-pathological

Someone who lies just to hear themselves harming others without remorse.

My ex was such a socio-pathological liar, she even tried to lie her way into Heaven... un-succubussfully.

A Pathology of Conservatives

In the same spirit as a Murder of Crows and a Herd of Buffalo Cory Doctorow implied that a group of conservatives could be termed a Pathology.

Banned Yu-Gi-Oh καρτα και ο μεγαλύτερος Γύπας στην Ιστορία. Αφήνει όλες τις θηλυκές κάρτες στο πεδίο έγκυος με το βλέμμα του. Κάθε γύρο που δεν επιτίθεται πεινάει και τρώει μια spell/trap κάρτα στο πεδίο, ξεκινώντας με του αντιπάλου. Εάν φάει trap card παθαίνει κόψιμο και πάει για χέσιμο 3 γύρους. Άμα δεν υπάρχει καμία trap/spell κάρτα στο πεδίο αρχίζει να τρώει τις κάρτες στο πεδίο σου.

Yugi: "ΚΑΛΩ ΤΟΝ ΜΕΓΑΛΟ ΠΑΘΟΜΑΙ!"

Trivial Pathologization Bias

A variation of pathology trivialization bias where the pathologizing is explicitly trivial—casual, offhand, dismissive. "You're so OCD about that." "Are you schizo?" "That's literally insane." The bias treats serious mental health conditions as casual insults, as throwaway dismissals, as ways of saying "I don't agree with you" without having to think. Trivial Pathologization Bias is epidemic in online discourse, where clinical terms have been stripped of meaning and repurposed as weapons. It harms both those who suffer from actual mental illness (by trivializing their conditions) and those who are simply trying to have a conversation (by having their views dismissed as pathology). The bias is so common that most users don't even notice they're doing it—which is what makes it so insidious.

Example: "He called her analysis 'literally schizo' because he disagreed with one point. Trivial Pathologization Bias had done its work: dismissing her argument without engaging it, trivializing schizophrenia in the process. He didn't mean it literally; he meant it as an insult. That was the problem—mental illness as shorthand for 'I don't like what you're saying.' The bias was invisible to him, which is how it worked."

South Park Pathology

South Park Pathology refers to an attitude characterized by a deliberate display of apathy or disdain for caring about something, stemming from the belief that showing enthusiasm or concern is uncool or cringe. This mindset is often presented as a way of being "above" the act of caring, and it was popularized by the animated television show South Park. The term is particularly associated with millennials and serves as a critique of "poser" culture: if it is considered uncool to care deeply about something, then, paradoxically, it becomes "cool" to appear disinterested or dismissive.

John is embarrassed to tell people he plays Yu-Gi-Oh! because of South Park Pathology, fearing they might think it's cringe to care about a card game.

John is considered "based" because he shares his interests authentically and passionately, even though others with South Park Pathology tell him he's cringe for caring too much.
