I know I sound like a broken record but the way so many people in this fandom can be like “SHE WOULD’VE MADE SUCH A LOVELY BRIDE WHAT A SHAME SHE’S FUCKED IN THE HEAD! Yeaaahhh queen say it louder!!! Most relatable lyric of all time!!! I’m sad and quirky and difficult to love too!!!!” and then turn around and say “btw fuck Joe Alwyn for not wanting to marry Taylor because he was depressed” is so funny to me lol.
“Depression” is not always a temporary condition that makes you cry a little harder than the average person does. It’s often much more tragic and it ruins your life and the lives of those around you in countless ways.
And if you wanna be empathetic towards those who struggle with mental health, you have to be empathetic even when it’s not easy, when it’s not pretty, when it’s not a sanitized version of depression you can sing along to.
