That last ask was pretty ridiculous? Like I suppose one shouldn't claim to know everything if they aren't bipolar, but don't write him? That's odd. I feel like there wouldn't be much representation of anything in media of we held all authors to that 'don't write it if you aren't' thing.
i mean i guess that’s true and you’re right but there’s also the assumption that authors do research before writing things they don’t know, or at least the expectation that they do so so that they accurately portray whatever they’re writing about to the best of their abilities. i, for one, do literally no research ever because i am, objectively, the worst and therefore have not done any research on bipolar disorder at all
but literally i’m too tired and apathetic right now to really debate anything so if the anon is telling me to stop writing, guess that’s what’s up
