Exactly. I'm allowed to get angry when not only is the ONLY REPRESENTATION WE EVER HAVE in mainstream media is horror movie/game villains, and not just that but shitty characters who haven't even been properly researched to be accurate.

It hurts and it's frustrating. It's easy to google some shit and double check your sources. If I'm writing a horror movie or game does that give me a free pass to be racist? No. It shouldn't give you a free pass to be ableist and stereotype the mentally ill in a harmful way.

"I don't care", "It doesn't do anything, it's just a horror game."

You obviously don't understand that Media does in fact affect reality, that the first and often only information people are getting about mental illnesses is from games and media.

Sorry that you're so upset that I was upset by the spread of misinformation. But you obviously have not had people whose entire understanding of these illnesses comes from games like these, look at you like you're a monster as soon as you tell them. So yes. I'm hurt.

I'm glad you found your own solace in attacking me for going "Hey maybe do research on what's in your fucking game before you make the game, because otherwise it just shows how you're using Mental Illness as a scary othering thing instead of ya know... Giving a shit about the people who actually have it."

And pardon me if I'm a little fucking tired of shitty indie creators making half assed games about Big Scary Mentally Ill people because they can't come up with a better horror premise besides "This person is sick and needs help, but I think what's affecting them is scary and going to make them hurt ME! Oh no, gotta run away or shoot them!"

And your comment just reads "I'm tired of people getting angry and annoyed because not only is this game Factually Incorrect, but also is yet another shitty game that has mentally ill people as its villain and the creator didn't even bother to do research, so I'm gonna shit on them and say that's why I wanna avoid people with DID, because they don't want HORROR GAME CHARACTERS AS THEIR ONLY REPRESENTATION, or if they are okay with that as the only rep they have, at least make them FUCKING ACCURATE. Totally not because I don't trust them and think they could blow up and switch and kill me because that's all I've seen in media."

Thank you for your reply, but it wasn't wanted or needed. Go away please.

People who have DID are NOT dangerous. Not anymore than anyone else with any illness is. Thanks for perpetuating stereotypes and ALSO speading misinformation.

I have Dissociative Identity Disorder. Maybe next time do some research on what the fuck you're making your game about.

It's IMPOSSIBLE for an elderly woman to develop DID. It develops ONLY in very early childhood.

Maybe next time instead of demonising an illness you obviously know nothing about, you should do some research and actually present proper information.

At least then you'll only be demonising the illness and not spreading misinformation too.
