#haphephobia awareness

[that0nechaotic1ndividual]

Ok, lemme get this straight;

I don’t know HOW MANY TIMES I need to talk about this,

Please scroll if you don’t feel comfortable reading about these topics: SA, Physical harm, mental health

I’m so SICK of seeing people put error sans into uncomfortable situations.

I understand (obviously) that he is fictional, but when you do this, it STILL can hurt people with PTSD or haphephobia (like myself).

Stop it.

It’s ok if you didn’t know any better, but PLEASE learn from this:

Him freaking out about touch isn’t

IMMATURE

It isn’t

CUTE

It isn’t

FUNNY

The ways that he reacts are REAL ways of coping with PTSD and haphephobia and I hate when people say

“He secretly enjoyed it!”

“He secretly likes it”

Ect.

Stop it.

I’m sick of it.

And before you say it:

It’s NOT something I can just scroll past and forget about, because it’s EVERYWHERE

If you look up something error related you’ll find it

I love undertale and the AUs and I don’t want to keep seeing people abusing the characters,

It needs to stop.

I don’t care that it’s been going on for YEARS,

I don’t care that nobody is gonna see this because tumblr has a crappy algorithm,

If you see this, please reblog it.

The ways some people talk about error are not ok.

The ways some people portray him aren’t ok either.

And I’m not saying you can’t have ships or put him in tough situations,

I’m saying stop putting him in situations that are genuinely inhumane

Theres a difference between putting him in the situations (if you absolutely feel it necessary) and highlighting that the situations are awful vs putting him in the situations and laughing about it

I guess what I mean is stop laughing about it because it isn’t funny.

If you care, I’m gonna write about my experience with haphephobia and PTSD and how this content affects me when I accidentally find it (my experience, not everyone who has haphephobia but it’s mine and I’m willing to share for you to understand):

I experience flashbacks from my trauma every day.

They hit randomly.

It’s not just a memory, but it feels like I’m reliving it.

Over and over.

My skin heats up, my vision goes either really dark or really bright, I struggle to breathe, my ears sometimes ring, my heart races, sometimes it gets so extreme that I start crying or having depressing thoughts.

It’s not a joke, stop romanticizing and laughing about it.

- Chaos

PS: I do have therapy for it so don’t ask about that.

One thing that bothers me about the fandom is when people say that error secretly enjoys physical touch from other characters like it’s not canon that he has haphephobia

It’s so annoying because this is what haphephobia is:

The intense fear of physical touch

It feels like a disability (as someone who has it)

This is what they’re suggesting:

He’s faking it and secretly enjoys touch

Like NO??!

Why is it that when people express boundaries people think it’s ok to rewrite the situation and try to change their boundaries like what the hell?!

He hates physical touch.

He has haphephobia.

A fear of physical touch.

As someone with haphephobia,

I always feel unsafe when people touch me because I have PTSD and it’s really uncomfortable

I’m sick of the fact that I have to keep making posts like this talking about this but at the same time,

At least I’m doing it to try to start a fandom movement.
