I mean... I could see if someone who actually had the type of mental disorder (which crazy was used to describe) found it offensive. I don't think depression or anxiety are two that were even placed under it.

That being said, I can understand the whole annoyance with the normalization of disability related slurs (I'm mentally disabled), especially when people lose their shit over other types (racism, sexism, LGB, etc) of slurs but are okay with hurling ableist ones. Then again, I'm more of the "ALL slurs are okay or NONE are" type of person.

I do find that bit hypocritical though, considering just as you said, they didn't want OP saying crazy but turned around and said that.
