In a world where personal responsibility is a hate crime and victimhood is a career path, it was only a matter of time before someone found a way to monetize emotional fragility. Today’s headline proves once again: reality isn’t broken—it’s been unfollowed.


A satirical digital illustration of a young influencer sitting on a therapy couch, visibly emotional, wrapped in a pastel blanket. Ring lights glow behind them as they cry into a phone while filming content. A therapist takes notes while rolling their eyes. The background includes posters labeled “Safe Space,” “Hurt by Words,” and “Emotional Labor Hotline.” The tone is humorous and critical, mocking online fragility and performative trauma.

In a devastating blow to filtered self-expression and algorithmic safety, 22-year-old TikTok influencer @VibezByVee has been officially diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Accountability Disorder (PTAD)—a newly emergent condition triggered by brief exposure to reality, constructive feedback, or the phrase “grow up.”


The incident occurred after Vee posted a viral video of themselves lip-syncing shirtless on a scooter while explaining why “gender is a spectrum of energy.” The clip—set to Doja Cat and framed with a bisexual lighting filter—received 240,000 likes, 73 sponsorship offers, and one offensive, soul-piercing comment:


“Maybe read a book.”


That’s when everything fell apart.


“I just wanted to post a video of myself lip-syncing shirtless on a scooter while explaining why gender is a spectrum of energy,” said Vee, from beneath a pastel therapy blanket cocoon.“Now I’m being oppressed by literacy.”


Doctors say Vee is suffering from PTAD, a condition described by experts as:

“A debilitating fear of personal responsibility, often triggered by mild criticism, fact exposure, or the presence of dads.”


Symptoms include:

  • Involuntary TikTok lives

  • Panic attacks upon hearing "maybe you're wrong"

  • Rash outbreaks when asked to cite sources

  • Acute dependency on curated applause


The diagnosis has gained traction across TikTok, where thousands have joined the movement using the hashtag #IHavePTADToo, posting softly lit crying selfies while staring into ring lights with captions like “healing is hard when people disagree with me.”


In a show of performative compassion, several woke federal officials are reportedly drafting a bill to classify ‘being held accountable’ as a hate crime—citing emotional safety as a human right. President Trump responded with a press release stating: “Accountability is back. Feelings are not protected under the Constitution.”


In response to the growing trend of influencers monetizing victimhood, President Trump and Elon Musk have directed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to investigate who's funding these narratives.
