You’re assuming that I myself have not suffered any form of mental illness, and in doing so, you’ve proven yourself to...

I made no such assumption. It’s one thing to be the worker, it’s entirely another to be the patient. If you are mad, you should know that. You massively missed the tone of the original post. Gossiping is a way in which mental health care workers, most often neurotypical mental health care workers, enact *social violence*. Not outright violence, not physical violence, but social violence, also called cultural violence and structural violence. Mental health care workers are all too often extremely ableist and psychophobic towards us. Gossiping about us is a way in which they further the tropes that hold us back. It dehumanizes us and makes us into a spectacle. That is different from healthy discussion of the difficulties of the job. If you can’t “vent” without stigmatizing your patients, you need a new career.

the original artist is lulladie on tumblr!

Thank you, informative nonnie!

Context: lulladie is an artist who drew a white, blonde Garnet with the text “you can draw whatever you want!”- in short, they purposefully whitewashed Garnet. 

It’s not like there’s a million other white characters for them to draw or anything. /sarcasm

Basically, it’s disgusting that someone would take one of the few positive black characters in media (children’s media, at that) and whitewash them. To make it worse, they write “you can draw whatever you want”, as if to say “people tell me not to be a racist ass so let me just throw a tantrum and draw what they don’t want lmao ;)”.

Either straight up ignore this person and don’t follow them, or go as far to block them. Do yourself a favor and avoid this person like the plague.
