Honestly as someone else with OCD I agree that Kittycorn is being extemely irresponsible. I've seen others vent about feeling like they have to ''test'' themself to see if their intrusive thoughts are true (ex: forcing themself to think about theit triggers to see if they ''enjoy'' it). Hell, one of the OCD themes I have is where I get intrusive thoughts about if I care about my hobbies all the time and then I try to test if I still like them lol. (I say lol but its agonizing even imagining not caring about the stuff I love most 😭)
The fact that Kittycorn is glorifying Sly falling into indulging her compulssions and eventually giving in to them is so disgusting. And it's such a waste, because if this wasn't a incest glorification story and if Sly wasn't based on a IRL abuser, a character struggling with more taboo, violent intrusive thoughts and getting help for them could help people with actual harm related OCD themes feel seen and spread awareness of what OCD actually is, as opposed to the mocked, warped version contamination/perfectionism OCD most characters have.
My girlfriend has relationship/religious ocd and questions her sexuality a lot (she’s bi and I’m lesbian) so sometimes she would test herself by asking herself if she actually liked women! It’s a very real thing and I hate how it’s become an adjective for “wanting to clean”
Sly actually dating his sister and having…. “Those Interests” means he’s indulging in it, it’s no longer irrational thinking or impulsivity, it stops being ocd’s fault at that point.
Also Polly has ocd, he’s going to be very particular on how to house is set up, but he will also have irrational thoughts as well!! I think it would help if sly had someone that understands!
Once again I don’t have ocd so my gf helped me with this response! I really hope I can do it justice!! Thank you so much for sharing because I know dealing with that is very hard!!
