Recently, the brand Urban Outfitters has been boycotted due to clothing glorifying mental illnesses, primarily by those struggling with those illnesses. However, on social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and Facebook, we still allow the glorification by the use of hashtags. This not only encourages those with mental illness, but feeds into it. For example, a young adoloescent is having a bad day, and decides to look at the "self-harm" tag online. They then see all of these triggering images, which quite often will result in them harming themselves. There should be freedom of what to post, but it should be limited when it comes to extremely triggering things.
