Do any of you RP a character with 'problems' (i.e. depression, anxiety, schizophrenia)? Chances are a few of you do. Anyway, what I want to say is: PLEASE. RP. THEM. PROPERLY. I'm getting really tired of seeing people with mentally unstable characters because they want to be 'edgy' or play the 'poor misunderstood character' card. Did you know that depressed people are not always self-harming? Or that anxiety comes in different levels of anxiousness? I see so many badly RPed characters >>
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

with disorders. It's not funny. I want to facepalm every time I see an 'insane' character with a badly written abusive past, or an 'emo' depressed character. You know what? The way these characters are portrayed might actually hurt the feelings of people with those disorders. They might trigger people who have actually had a bad past. If you don't have the disorder, you NEED to research it first. Your anxious character with OCD might be making someone out there upset. I would know. In my eyes and with my experience, depressed and anxious characters are usually RPed wrongly. Be careful. P.S.: 'Insanity' is a catch-all word for mental health disorders, or to indicate that you are 'lol randumbz XDDD'. Please research insanity before you claim to be 'insane'. Thank you for reading, and I hope I wasn't too harsh.

Oh hey, Ice :) I'm not saying RPers are bad (I RP too), I'm just urging people to research disorders before roleplaying a character with the disorder.

I have all these disorders but the worst one people do is bipolar (which i also have) and it jusr makes me want to walk away because its like "i dont act like that what so ever!" 3:

i dont think that we RPrs should stop pullin the insane card cuz A. look at soul eater when maka went into the insanity and went crazy. so does that mean they shuld cut the show? and B. peeps with those d-orders shuld know that the other RPers mean 0 offence and that it is not representing any1's real personalitys. Am i wrong?
23 Dec, 2012, 7:40 am
i meant No offence to anyone
23 Dec, 2012, 8:09 am
Then they should just be insane for the RP, not diagonsed with something that normal can be clinically diagnosed with, and noone's saying it needs to be taken out it just needs to be represented correctly thats all.
23 Dec, 2012, 4:50 pm
You guys are right c: Don't worry. And Kpop, I know how you feel with the wrongly RPed disorders. It can actually give people bad ideas about the disorders.
26 Dec, 2012, 5:00 am
animeL] first off maka did go cray-cray BUT they represented it properly as extreme paranoia and labeled it as such. im not saying rpers should stop,simply that they would do enough research about that disorder AS to accurately portray said disorder, and hurt no one.
30 Dec, 2012, 5:39 am
I actually might be getting OCD xl but I dont mind if ppl make fun of it, but I know how it feels. I actually have a bad-ish past.

Yeah I agree I hate ot when people make bipolar, Add, or Adhd Characters. I admit, I've made depressed or somewhat insane characters but I would never label them with a disorder.
