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.
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.
This is a fucking joke. This is actually a joke. No one is going to play this game and go "Oh my god, people with DID are fucking dangerous and I don't want to be anywhere near them." Do you know why? Because it's a horror video game. No, instead, the type of thing that would make me keep away from people experiencing DID is this fucking comment section, because you guys have some serious problems with bitching and moaning about nothing. Either that or you're one person on multiple accounts, and you desperately want to make a statement. You're right, I don't care what mental illness you have. I don't care how close this hits home for you. Not because I'm not sympathetic towards your condition, but because of how you approached this fucking garbage. "Maybe do some research on what the fuck you're making your game about," and "At least then you'll only be demonizing the illness and not spreading misinformation too." Like, are you serious dude? I would have been a lot more open to your opinion if you weren't such an asshole.
For instance: "Hey, here's some information on Dissociative Identity Disorder and how it personally affects me." So fucking aggressive because you're so hurt. Hope your condition becomes manageable or you find a way to cope, but fuck you, not for your mental illness, but because you're a dick.
"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.
Furthermore, I've never once heard anyone mention being scared of someone with DID because of the way they were represented in a fucking fictional horror game. You're retarded. Again, the only thing that's going to prevent people from actually interacting with you is this garbage load of text that you've been posting this entire time. Did I mention that this is fictional? Are you interested in a list of movies/games that misrepresent certain disorders/illnesses in order to add to the horror aspect?
"You're a fucking shitty person" is essentially what you said. That was your first comment. Not needed or wanted, but you said it, right? You could have been nicer about it, but you decided to be a cunt because you're offended. I decided to be a cunt because there was no reason for you to fucking lash out like a god damn child at a creator who's simply trying to make a horror game. Inform them politely and move the fuck on with your life.
Don't talk to me about what isn't wanted or needed lmao. I think you're just a shitty person who needs some self evaluation, honestly. No one is shooting people with DID and they aren't running away because they're scared. If they are running away, it's because it's something they're not familiar with and they find it weird. That's the way the world is. Not everyone is going to accept you for who you are. Here's an idea: If you meet someone and tell them that you have DID and they run away, can you not deduce that the individual was not worth your time to begin with? Can you be friends with someone that ignorant, or do you want to be friends with someone who is so judgmental?
Call my hypocritical, but don't forget that you started this by deciding not to take the calm approached. I merely shot back. What I said was true, I don't care what problems you have because I'm going to treat everyone the same way. Don't be an asshole and I'll be chill. My favorite part of your response was, "im glad you found your own solace in attacking me," as if there wasn't a fucking reason for it. You're one of those people that sit around and pity themselves all day, aren't you? You started this shit aggressively and were met with an equally aggressive response, and kept pushing the "mah DID tho" comment, over and fucking over again, and I responded the same way.
Get over yourself. Bye :)
hi, another person with DID here. i don't think you understand how fiction effects reality, and i also don't think you understand that your experiences in life aren't universal.
there are medical professionals who refuse to believe that DID exists despite the evidence backing it up, and there are people who believe that movies like "split" are good representation of them. i've seen medical professionals, (or those who claim to be them), claim that DID and other disorders like it (such as BPD) are dangerous. people with DID (and mental illnesses in general) are no more likely to be violent to you or anyone else than your average joe. in fact, it's far more likely that mentally ill people, especially those with already highly stigmatized disorders like DID, are more at risk of being the victims of extreme violence than people without it, especially considering that DID is a disorder developed from extreme childhood trauma.
if video games like this and movies like "split" didn't effect reality, then DID wouldn't be as highly stigmatized a disorder as it is and you going around calling people retarded snowflakes for calling that out just makes you seem like a sensitive jackass who doesn't like when their extremely discriminatory stereotypes are threatened.
get over yourself. bye :)
Very professional name, by the way. Super great for trying to get your point across. Glad that you've taken a calm approach instead of directly attacking somebody who could potentially just be misinformed themselves lol. My god, shut the fuck up you privileged child.
I'm convinced you're just the same person on separate accounts. Oops, maybe that's your DID. My bad.
