why is it considered ok when neurotypicals label themselves “cute but ps*cho”. y’all will wear ps*cho on a t-shirt and put ps*cho as the title of your blog for aesthetic purposes and that’s considered perfectly fine, but when someone with (for example) a personality disorder puts their personality disorder in their blog description we get a 50k note post about how that’s not okay.
why is it considered ok when neurotypicals sexualize characters they deem mentally ill. ya’ll literally fetishize mental illness when you think a fictional murderer has one, but actual mentally ill people can’t even cope with our illnesses the way we want to without being told that we’re glorifying or romanticizing them.
why is it considered ok when neurotypicals aestheticize asylums and straight jackets but demonize the kinds of people that were in them.
why is it okay to continuously try to demonize and silence mentally ill people when we’re just trying to cope, survive, and live in a world that hates the reality of us, but is absolutely obsessed with the idea of us?
