Pretty fuckin shitty to make a game perpetuating harmful stereotypes about an already HEAVILY stigmatized mental illness. If you can’t scare people without taking advantage of mentally ill people, maybe you should pick a new game genre.
What the fuck are you so offended at? What mental illness are you referring to? Are you referring to "she's become a bit of a recluse lately"? Imagine being this much of an offended little bitch over literally nothing. Outrage culture is abundant in this one, and it shows. You came here to argue nothing, just to make outrageous accusations. Can you point me to the part where he's "taking advantage of mentally ill people"? Here's my reaction that you were clearly looking for, idiot. Hope you got a good laugh at it. Perhaps talk with your ISP about disconnecting services indefinitely.
Over-analyze a fucking video game so that you can twist it to be offensive and disrespectful, and then attack the creator for trying to provide entertainment. Brilliant. Toxic cunt.
They're referring (or at least I think so) to the Dissociative Identity Disorder note. I think they're right, It's a very stigmatized mental illness. In fact, most mental illnesses are stigmatized not only in videogames but in every media. They rarely have anything to do with how they're portrayed. Someone suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder is as dangerous as any other not mentally ill person. I know it might look like a small thing to you, but many small things like these end up building one huge stereotype. When you or anyone near you is dealing with a mental illness these small things can hurt a lot. My guess is K20fourty was hurt and that's why they jumped instead of giving an explanation (though I understand, when you've given this explanation a hundred times to a hundred different people you get tired of doing so). I hope you understand better now. It's as easy as not addressing mental illnesses unless you do it faithfully Again, it's a small thing but it means a lot.
Ps: English ain't my mother language so sorry If some parts don't read too well.
The other reply to this is right. I’m referring to where they literally say that the grandma has dissociative identity disorder. You are so angry over this, I don’t even know what to say. It’s hilarious but also just disappointing that you’re THAT ready to defend something that aids in continuing the discrimination of mentally ill people. I don’t know how to tell you that you should care about other people. Even then, it’s not about hurting people’s feelings, it’s about the actual safety and lives of mentally ill people. This is bigger than you and your annoyance.
Calm down. Realize that negative stereotyping harms people in the real world. Maybe take some Xanax and put on a CBD patch.
I’m not belittling anyone, Xanax and CBD patches are legitimate things that could calm a person down. As far as I know, telling someone to take a chill pill isn’t discriminatory and doesn’t cause legitimate harm the way negative stereotypes do.
You seem very confused, based on replies you’ve made to other comments. I think you’re misunderstanding the intentions and words of people and responding to things that weren’t said.
Not to put words in everyone’s mouths, and please do correct me if I’m misunderstanding, but it does seem like the people here don’t exactly care about the well-being of mentally ill people (at least in the given situation that their wellbeing interferes with the plot of a horror game).
