okay adding onto this. because i feel like it. i love when characters are actually human and not some weird happy silly blorbo. i love when characters with ptsd actually have all the symptoms. i love when characters that hallucinate dont have it played off as a joke or something. i love when depressed characters are actually depressed and not just sad. i love when addicts get all the bad side effects of being literally addicted instead of it just being hitting up or drinking a little more than normal. i love when characters with cluster b disorders arent treated like fucking demons. i love when characters are human

i feel like people will think im weird for how much i talk about the Bad parts of Everything. sorry im just autistic and am obsessed with people being People instead of people

#its for personal reasons mostly but.#but i feel like there just isnt enough of it #i feel like it sets this weird standard for people who actually have any of those problems #because if its not portrayed accurately then people who dont struggle dont actually know what its like #and i think thats exactly what causes the glorification of everything like depression and ocd and bipolar disorder and adhd and autism #and its what causes the demonization of stuff like npd and did and addictions #and why alot of people infantilize people with adhd or autism or dyslexia #and i think thats why alot of people get freaked out or even disgusted when they see someone portray actual symptoms of anything #because they think said disorder(s) is just like how media portrays it #and so on
