ik yall gonna come for me but the creepypasta fandom is cringe asf for perpetuating stigma against mental illnesses.
like canonically ticci toby has PTSD and schizophrenia as well as C.I.P.A and tourettes, but the fandom just throws all that potential character away to infantalize him because he has tics and cant feel pain. it just screams 'ive never met a real disabled person before'. Now, not wanting to misrepresent his disorders wouldve been a good excuse to defend this shit behavior if you had that attitude for all the characters with chronic/rare disorders. must i bring up the train wreck that is liu and 'sully'? cmon guys, really? the 'evil alter' stereotype again? ive not seen a single writer refrain from writing the most incorrect and harmful representation of DID/plurality in general when it comes to their/his character. singlet writers really couldn't do an ounce of research, watch a single YouTube video to not write the most jarring and inflammatory headcanons? and dont get me started on the casual use of ableist language such as 'p*ycho' and 'psy*hopath'. if youre not going to bother doing the research, dont write characters as psychotic or mentally ill because youre doing a massive disservice to people with those disorders as well as the fandom. please do better.
