Aggressively staring at my Na’vi oc who was promised to Tsu’tey

Major ick is when someone who doesn’t have a the disorder they are writing about with clear evidence of no knowledge on how it effects a day to day life bothers me. It’s not that hard to do research, actual research, hell, ask a friend who’s open to sharing their experience. If I see another poorly written character with DID, I will actually combust. I don’t think any singlet should write such characters unless they do actual research, talk to those who are part of systems and then maybe, yeah, write a character with DID but don’t butcher the trauma based disorder. My goodness.

@weixiaoweixiao I agree! Learn what you plan to write about, because you are technically now a teacher on the topic even if you didn't mean to be. Stop creating more and more misconceptions and stop doubling down on the misconceptions about whatever it is you are having your character deal with. Even small facts can help destigmatize a community.
