Twitter users slammed a popular tech YouTuber for claiming that wishing someone "Merry Christmas" is "highly offensive" to depressed people.
Trying to rain on the parades of billions celebrating the holiday, Shyu tweeted, "I find ‘Merry Christmas’ highly offensive," and explained that there are mentally ill and depressed people who feel pressured to be jolly because of the holiday greeting. Gabriel Hays is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
He explained, "The holidays cause stress, depression, and mental health issues for 25-40% of people. It's like a ‘merriness contest’ on social media to force happiness, and a Western subversion of every other culture."
