Shitty representation pisses us off

WHEN WILL OUR TRAUMA BASED DISORDER STOP BEING A HORROR OR THRILLER TROPE OR A FUCKING PLOT TWIST?? YOU, The Crowded Room, I expected better and I’m always disappointed. Why can’t we just have a character that just HAPPENS to have DID or even if it’s about DID how hard is it to talk to people who actually have it to make sure you represent them the way they want. Our disorder could literally make for some hilarious hijinks and embarrassing situations for romcoms but noooo we have to be portrayed as fucking serial killers and just evil incarnate when we’re actually victims of it ourselves and can’t function enough to come up with elaborate evil plans. Petals of a Rose was nice and Moon Knight got the self love and acceptance right but i want to see OUR system reflected too. I’m sure there are some systems who visualise their alters outside of them esp if they are also schizophrenic but it’s not the most common yet it’s so common in media it pisses me off.
