I suppose this is a weird thing to ask you guys, specifically, but;Do you ever worry that, no matter how you try, the “you” at your core will never be enough for the people who love you – not because they expect more from you, but because it’s inherently wrong and broken and no amount of love or patience will ever fix it?How do you live like this? How do you look into the mirror and say, truthfully, “There is every chance my soul is made of poison. And that’s okay.”

Our system contains Kristoph Gavin. And Vriska Serket. And Albert Wesker. And the list goes on. The answer is, yes. Many of us live with that feeling every day. The feeling that there is something fundamentally broken and inexcusable and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Someone being mentally ill doesn’t make them suddenly inhuman or magically mean that the fiction had no role to play in the harm. Now is the fiction in of itself harmful? No. But it like almost all things has the capacity to cause harm. You can talk about how fiction can encompass a lot of things without creating a false narrative that fiction is incapable of bringing about anything ever. Fiction is meant to cause a reaction in the viewers- that in of itself means it is an impact on reality. The impact on reality itself is not what is to be argued against rather that the impact in totality is not harmful enough to be deemed something needing to be gotten rid of or banned.Also afaik what they did was not harassment giving harassment necessitates it happen over a long reoccurring period of time. What they did was be an absolute fucking dick and blame a creator for an unintended consequence that had more causation from the disorder they were suffering with than the work itself in a vacuum. You can’t fully blame the piece but you cannot pretend that this person would have still had the exact same episode in the exact same way devoid of that particular piece. I understand wanting to express that one cannot blame the content nor the creator for the consequence that came from an unstable person consuming such a piece of media- but I don’t understand why you and so many others jumped to wholesale rejecting the notion that there can be any form of conversation around how fiction can affect people especially neurodivergent and mentally ill people.People with issues such as mine; ASPD, DID, PTSD, OCD with psychotic elements, etc. are still people and the impact things can have on us still is important to discuss. That anon was an absolute dick about it clearly but there is still a very real discussion and an important one at that when it comes to how specifically vulnerable people can be impacted by particularly moving fiction. It’s in a way proof that art itself hold a lot of meaning and power- it’s not great that it can cause that much distress unintentionally but it is important to understand that humans are deeply complex and that the art (music, illustration, writting, etc.) that we make does impact reality. That’s why so many stories hold messages and meanings. It’s why so many great works have come with noticeable effects on cultures broadly. I just think saying only the mental illness did the harm discredits how impactful art can be even when it has some negative consequences due to someone being unstable. Unstable people can be swayed by many many things and acknowledging that specific things can sometimes be more likely to cause that isn’t the same as wanting to censor everything. It’s just part of discussing the impact of art and the experiences of being human.

first of all– Also afaik what they did was not harassment giving harassment necessitates it happen over a long reoccurring period of time. That’s untrue. A single incident can absolutely constitute harassment. I suppose one could also call it emotional[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

You know, one time I read a fanfic and it triggered my psychosis, sent me into a month long episode THEN a whole year later I was on ao3 just mindlessly scrolling, I came across the fanfic title and it gave me a panic attack, but something compelled me to click it, i didn’t read it but i did scroll through it, why? mental illness. So like… yaThis is me responding to your old(?) post about someone else’s fiction not being able to hurt you, this is probably just a me thing but mental illness makes you do things and react to things in insane ways that sometimes you cant control. I knew while reading that it was affecting me in some way, but I kept reading because well, I’m mentally ill, and then a month of my life dissapeared lolI think I’m trying to make a point about something but I’m not sureI did after the fact comment to the author and just kinda, told them about what happened, but I didn’t harrassed them or something, –but when something does what this fanfiction did to me then you’re basically obligated to let the creator know I think(they are a really good writer), I’m an adult and the fanfic was in the ballpark of something I would read and if like, 59% of it was taken out and it had a happy ending I would be fine but oh well Oh boy, I’m starting to have a panic attack just typing this out holy hell anyways uh, I’m not disagreeing with you(?) but I am saying, don’t be too quick to dismiss someone who says a piece of fiction fucked with them? idk sorry, have a good one

My friend, the fiction didn’t harm you. Your mental illness harmed you. Random writers on the internet are not responsible for managing your mental illness for you. You are responsible for managing your mental illness. I knew while reading that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Absolutely! The way mental and physical disabilities feed into one another is so inherent, and it’s so rare I see it talked about. ~~maybe I’ll make a post about it when I actually have the energy~~. At bare minimum we[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
