Shocked and confused

https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/jul/03/vogue-portugal-under-fire-for-very-bad-taste-mental-health-cover

The things that people print for shock value and ratings amaze me. I am shocked and confused by this magazine cover. I think the moral to the story is let us tell our own stories! I am afraid of telling my own story, in a way that is offensive to the mentally ill, or will draw criticism too. You can’t win when you are insensitive and ignorant to mental health issues. This idea was bound to flop! Does Vogue Portugal care or was this a publicity stunt? It appears to be backfiring on them.
