On their own, no, but if someone hears voices that aren’t there telling them to go feed the homeless, that person is mentally ill, just the results of that are socially beneficial instead of harmful in this case.
Clearly because they put more value in their lives than those of others. What do these freaks call other people? Non-player characters? They don’t matter, because they’re not themselves. Narcissism to the extreme.
I agree with you that people hearing voices does not necessarily mean they are violent or dangerous. The majority of people who hear voices have never and will never hurt anyone.
Jehanne d’Arc technically never took a human life directly…but she’s famous for being a rallying symbol of France and strategic wartime leader. That doesn’t exactly make her hands clean even if she never technically killed anyone. Shes also reported as having had a pretty vicious temper that lead to her doing things like chasing prostitutes with a sword which isn’t exactly the epitome of peaceful and undangerous.

Because feeding the homeless or starting a sanctuary for pets is socially beneficial and isn’t considered mental illness.

Yeah we should be careful about encouraging mentally ill people to kill themselves and instead encourage (and enable) them to get help

I’d venture because that’s their general disposition, anyway. Jeanne d’Arc heard voices too, never took a human life.

Point taken.
They need a scapegoat for their pain.
