How we see the world tends to be based on what we’ve personally experienced.
Willowtigger Im sorry you’ve experienced stigma. I hope coming here has given you freedom to discuss and be heard.

It makes good sense. Of course many people are not comfortable and are afraid to speak about mental illness and often for very good reasons. And of course it’s based on subjective experience.
But the question in the original post was about MH topics being “banned”. That’s what people are responding to.
If a question was why people are afraid or uncomfortable to speak about mental illness, that would be a different story. And it would be a great topic to discuss. But that’s not what being originally asked. So I don’t see generalizations here.
