okay rant warning
if i hear one more fictionkin being all "omg DAs/IRLkins are SO invalid, go harrass them until they stop" my depression comes back cuz like
take it from a LITERAL, DIAGNOSED SCHIZOPHRENIC- DELUSIONS CAN'T BE PICKED!!!!!! CRAZY, I KNOW!!!!!!!!! look man, i'm a stone IRL, working with my therapist to see if im a DA or not, and istfg, WE'RE JUST AS VALID AS THE REST OF THE KIND COMMUNITY. LITERALLY GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON TO HATE ON IRLS/DAs FOR LITERALLY EXISTING. "it's technically a mental illness!" "thei're obviously not actually the character" AND OHHH BOY DO I HAVE A RESPONSE TO THAT...
SO FIRST OFF, ADDRESSING THE MENTAL ILLNESS ASPECT- ONLY DAs ARE "MENTALLY ILL". I HAVE COTARD'S SYNDROME, AN ACTUAL, FULL ON DELUSION-- NO ONE WILL TELL ME TO KMS FOR THAT, WILL THEY? BUT AS SOON AS YOU BRING A CHARACTER INTO IT- "nope. cringe. die." WHAT THE FUCK.
AND ABOUT THE YOU'RE-NOT-THE-CHARACTER I KNOW IM NOT PSYCHICALLY STONE. ME AND EVERY OTHER IRL I'VE TALKED TO KNOWS THAT. WE'RE NOT STUPID. BUT, WE ARE NON-PHYSICALLY OUR KINS. BE FUCKING FR. IT'S NOT A CHOICE. DID YOU CHOOSE TO BE SUSAN BORN 1/7/1901? NO, YOU FUCKING DIDN'T! NEITHER DID WE. "but you don't have their name still-" that's what a preferred name is for you ABSOLUTE DIMWIT, WE'RE NOT PHYSICALLY OUR CHARACTER SO OFC WE WONT GET NAMED THE SAME AS THEM.
im not trying to bully/harrass anyone but im so fucking tired of getting attacked in my own community
the end
