SUPER AGGRESSIVE REMINDER!
PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES HAVE A LOWER RATE OF VIOLENCE THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION.
MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE VIOLENT DO NOT HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS.
THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE WITH MI = VIOLENT IS GREATLY EXAGGERATED AND DUE TO NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES
THOSE OF US WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE THE VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE THAN THE PERPETRATORS
SO STOP TRYING TO EXCUSE THE ACTIONS OF A FUCKING MISOGYNISTIC MURDERER
(SOURCE FOR YOU FUCKERS)
It’s like men can be strong and laugh in the face of death and make witty one-liners all they want and that’s the standard and we love them for it, but if a female character doesn’t become a panicky mess at least once in the face of peril well that’s just shoddy writing and she’s totally unrealistic and don’t you know strong women can be vulnerable
(but not men, they can just power through their battles with cocky self-assurance)
Just stop
Please, PLEASE stop using DID as a deus ex machina in your stories. And if one of your characters does have DID, please don’t make the alter a murderous monster. That is not what DID is. We are not dangerous. Stories that portray us as such are a very large part of why people don’t accept us.
And PLEASE stop calling it Multiple Personality Disorder. It has been called DID for twenty years now. Please respect that and respect us.
I’m incredibly uncomfortable with NT people deciding violence towards other is a symptom of any mental illness or disorder when NTs are so incredibly violent. When is violence going to be considered a symptom of being neurotypical?
Never forget that 96% of violent crime is committed by NT ppl.
Thank you for adding this bcus I didn’t have the spoons to find relevant stuff myself.
some ways characters are coded as mentally ill & therefore “deadly” “dangerous” or “bad”
unrestrained affect (fits of uncontrolled rage)
unusual affect (laughing when angry)
blunted affect (showing very little to no emotion at all)
“villainy” stemmed from trauma
self-deprecation
alternatively, over inflated sense of self/ego
suicidal thoughts or ideas
mood swings
sudden shifts in desires, behaviors, etc.
erratic violent tendencies
the whole “mad scientist” shtick
“delusions of grandiose”
anything pertaining to “religious delusions” or. uh. w/e.
probably lots of other things i am missing!!!
& if ur writing a story & you want to make a creepy, evil, despicable villain, & u feel u HAVE to rely on above tropes to get that across, ur gross & an unoriginal author & i kindly request u Stay Away from me!!!!
psychotic =/= evil
psychotic =/= violent
psychotic =/= killer
psychotic = relating to a mental illness that includes hallucinations, delusions and paranoia as symptoms
NOT morally depraved, NOT bloodthirsty, NOT bad, JUST mentally ill
hot writing tip: if you’re sane and considering writing a character who is psychotic and evil because of it, don’t
PSA
Can you please cut the words “idi*t” and “m*ron” out of your writing / daily usage, seeing as these were coined by a eugenics supporter and both can have very racist connotations? These are slurs. Come on, we can do better than that.
Drew a version of this a while ago for my psychology teacher to hang in his classroom. The way people so often misinterpret legitimate mental disorders is probably one of my biggest pet peeves.
hey here's an idea
turn your fuckign autoplay off
How’s about no
you prioritize yourself over autistic and panic-prone people whose hours or even days can be ruined by a panic attack caused by an autoplay
but yea ok how’s about no
instead of redemption arcs, how about vegeta arcs. like how a character is now living perhaps with the heroes and interacting with them casually and is sorta part of the group.
They’re still a asshole, they haven’t changed in the slightest personality wise and maybe even don’t care about anything they’ve done in the past let alone feel remorse. They just hang around the heroes now for whatever reason.
i’m basically “pro-do whatever you want as long as you’re enjoying yourself and not hurting other people”
revisions on the horn dye thing:
horn dye is an expensive high blood product
the pricier it is the better it works
comes in a complete plethora of colours
mainly used by sea-dwellers who want to show off their wealth and by modeling agencies to make their models look more interesting
it’s uncommon for lowbloods to have unless their super rich highblood mate bought it for them or it’s some black market shit
ok but
do you think horn dye is a thing on alternia
like you can dye your horns your blood colour or your quadmate’s colour or something. like bright red for punk trolls to show how punk rock they are….
(just hopefully it’s not too permanent and you’re stuck with that colour forever or it’s not too shitty and fades really fast or something)
idk…
It could be like cheap walmart dye like how SPLAT! is, and trust me, it doesn’t last that long at all. (The dye in my hair was that brand and it’s already fading so badly) Or like how they inject dye into aquarium fishes. Imagine glow in the dark horns though tbh -★Mod Squid
“artificial intelligence that goes rogue and–” wow boring, instead how about an AI that wakes up and starts rerouting its systems to do good in the world, it starts secretly having flowers planted and sending greeting cards to its programmers and going online and reassuring anxious kids that everything will be ok, how about a Purely Good artificial intelligence that has literally no mean circuit in its entire system
honestly ships that like……start out w a guy and girl when the guy constantly harasses and tries to ‘win’ the girl’s heart and the girl is uncomfortable w this and not interested in the guy
and then through the course of the plot the girl has to interact more and more w the guy and eventually after seeing him for Who He Is falls in love and then they live happily ever after
are some of my All Time Least Fave Ships. like its creepy how common that narrative is and how theres a huge message of “dont give up and ull get the girl even if she constantly pushes u away” and how if the guy doesnt get the girl, the girl’s always the one ppl get mad at
AIs are often depicted as wanting to be human, or as something that will destroy humans. its like passing. no one can imagine that an AI would just want to live on its own terms.
