    it isn’t “just a term” lol people legitimately think it is a psychological disorder. i’m not sure if you’re aware. using it as some kind of colloquial descriptor of behavior is also misusing the word “syndrome” and idk… we should probably avoid muddying language used for psychological diseases especially when there’s a ton of misinformation about mental health as there is.

      Sounds like we just need a new phrase for the concept. From now on, it’s the Sweden Condition.
