Budo Herpes Pt 2.

Part 2:
 
Mental Illness as STDs in the Martial Arts World (Budo Herpes Pt. 2

A Professional Satirical Breakdown of Toxic Behavior in the Community

1. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)

STD Equivalent: HIV/AIDS
 
Why?
Narcissism weakens the immune system of martial arts communities — attacking trust, humility, and respect. Like HIV, narcissism often enters unnoticed but systematically breaks down the very framework that keeps a school or organization healthy.

Highly contagious through ego-feeding and back-patting without protection

No known cure, only management through strong boundaries and reality checks.

It often disguises itself as confidence, but the damage beneath is deep and irreversible if not confronted.

2. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

STD Equivalent: Herpes
 
Why?
Borderline Personality Disorder, like Herpes, is defined by emotional flare-ups, unpredictable outbursts, and dramatic episodes that appear and disappear — but never truly go away and is often confused with bipolar syndrome.

Can lay dormant for months, then erupt in group chats, Facebook posts, or awkward dojo conversations in a goal to gain acknowledgement.

Emotional blackmail, impulsive accusations, and intense idealization/devaluation cycles mirror the outbreak/remission behavior.

Triggers others into reactive states, fueling toxic cycles.

3. Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)

STD Equivalent: Syphilis
 
Why?
Just like syphilis, ASPD starts with charming but dangerous symptoms, then begins to erode the nervous system of any community it infects.

It destroys empathy, leading to manipulation, gaslighting, and even abuse.

Long-term exposure can result in irreversible damage — mentally, emotionally, and organizationally.

Often seen in "master" types who abuse students under the guise of discipline or loyalty.

4. Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD)

STD Equivalent: Crabs (Pubic Lice)
 
Why?
While not deadly, it’s extremely annoying, uncomfortable, and spreads through close contact with obsessive traditions, outdated hierarchies, and rigid ideas of “purity.”

“That’s not how the kata was done in 1876!”

It makes normal interaction itchy and awkward for everyone.

Difficult to get rid of without shaving off old systems and starting fresh.

5. Delusional Disorder (Grandiose Type)

STD Equivalent: HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
 
Why?
Most people don’t know they have it, yet it’s everywhere, especially in self-promoted “10th Dan” circles.

Feeds on untreated fantasy, often involving CIA backstories, secret scrolls, or “chosen one” narratives.

Can cause benign lies — or progress to dangerous tumors of fraud.

Nearly every martial community has at least one infected member.

6. Histrionic Personality Disorder

STD Equivalent: Chlamydia
 
Why?
Often confused with other conditions, Histrionic Personality Disorder is the drama queen of the dojo — constantly needing attention, validation, and flair.

“Look at me! I’m crying! I’m yelling! I’m filming myself being betrayed!”

Highly uncomfortable for the rest of the class.

Easily treated if the person actually acknowledges it — but they never do.

7. Paranoid Personality Disorder

STD Equivalent: Gonorrhea
 
Why?
Paranoia burns like gonorrhea — especially in back rooms, Facebook groups, and martial “secret societies.”

Everyone’s out to get them. Every new black belt is a threat.

Symptoms include conspiracy theories, obsession with rank fraud, and emotional discharge via YouTube rants.

The infected become chronically untrusting and assume any disagreement is betrayal.


8. Bipolar Disorder (Untreated)

STD Equivalent: Hepatitis B
 
Why?
Bipolar Disorder in martial arts communities tends to flare with manic grandiosity, followed by depressive abandonment of projects, students, or systems.

“I’m opening 4 schools this year!” → two months later → “I’m closing everything and leaving the community.”

Long-term exposure to the unregulated individual leads to systemic toxicity, emotional fatigue, and relational scarring.

Like Hep B, it’s serious — and when untreated, it’s destructive.


Clinical Summary STDs and mental disorders aren’t inherently evil — both are conditions that, if addressed, can be managed. But when left untreated, denied, or weaponized, they become social plagues within the martial arts world.

Prevention: Boundaries, therapy, ego check, and transparency.

Treatment: Honesty, community regulation, and leadership training in emotional intelligence.

Immunity: Cultures of humility, accountability, and inclusivity — not exclusion, control, or revenge.

Every bully needs to be called out and never left to hide in the corner like the coward they are.  By: C.G Mcfadden 1.  Don Roley: The Ninja Nobody Asked For Don Roley struts around the internet like a self-appointed gatekeeper of ninjutsu, yet somehow manages to be the only ninja who could get winded typing a blog post. He’s the martial arts equivalent of that guy who “used to be in a band” — always living off a vague past no one can verify, while the rest of the world has moved on. His whole persona is built around pretending to be the guardian of “real” ninjutsu, but the reality is he’s just the final boss of Facebook comment threads. Eve...

The Spineless Justice and the Silent Graves

  Blog Title: "Spineless Justice and Silent Graves, At The Cost of Ignored Bullying" By Dr. C.G. Mcfadden Let’s talk about something real— something raw, something ugly, something most people are too damn afraid to say out loud . The justice system is spineless when it comes to bullying, trolling, and harassment. Not just the cyber kind, but all of it—workplace bullying, school bullying, character assassinations in the name of gossip, and targeted harassment online. And do you know what’s worse than a broken system? The so-called friends and peers who vanish when things get messy . The ones who act like they care until you're on the floor gasping for breath, screaming for someone to just give a damn . They don’t. Not the cops. Not the courts. Not your “community.” You are alone. Let’s break this open.   The Silent Epidemic: Suicide by Bullying Over 14,000 suicides have been linked to bullying and cyberbullying in the last five years. That’s an average of 2,800 l...

Lacey fancies himself a “martial arts voice,” but let’s be honest: he couldn’t hack it in any real discipline. He’s the guy who had to fantasize about being part of sumo because everywhere else — karate, judo, jiu-jitsu — he didn’t have the skill, the discipline, or the backbone to belong. Sumo? That’s not mastery; that’s desperation. It’s the art equivalent of hiding in a corner because you’re terrified of competition. And let’s talk about his pers...
