#its the infantilizing and almost fetishizing thats hurtful
Text
Fun facts for those of you that follow my peachy chronicles (not that I update abt my life recently but lmao): But I went from being upset i wasn't being treated well/right by people to now putting down my foot and stating my needs/wants clearly without room to misunderstand me.
And I think that's super important progress! The problem is is that now I'm seeing p clearly how and where people treat me and it's not very fun! I'm v good at compromises and am super patient! And I'm realizing people take that hella for granted and it's like. Dude.
Im just happy I'm figuring it out! Being autistic and people being my special interest is,,,hard bc I know where ppl perceive me and how ppl can use that and it's just,,,
Gosh idk! I think it's great progress but strange.
#princess talks#Knowing ppl perceive me as childish doesn't hurt my feelinfs bc sure hey i am! i love dolls i love plushies i love pink and cute junk#i get excited at the smallest things! etc! thats okay!#its the infantilizing and almost fetishizing thats hurtful#like im not a child and im also Not your manic pixie dream girl uwu hypersexual dream#but im now able to CATCH and SEE it and can make myself clear#but im also noting i always Have and Had made myself clear and open to clarifying further and it was taken advantage of to confuse me#hurtful! but now that i can see it i can really put my foot down#even in my romantic life! but thankfully Sprite is such a good listener and gotten so much better at communicating#its startling in a good way! that someone loves me that much theyre going to figure out how to work with me#and my beloved friends that understand my communication style can be odd! aivaiva i know i ask SO many questions#i just learn ppl better that way! and im so grateful to my buds that understanding that im like a lil interviewer#and im so glad i have friends that also let me know if smth is uncomfortable right away! clear communication!#bc ive been going through this hardcore ive been going through rough mental gymnastics but now im inching back intk hang outs#and im SO excited to hang out wiyh friends again! let it be known i am so grateful to yhe ppl aroujd me that dont make fun of me#i really appreciate it!!#anyeay thats all lmao

Dude its like??? One of my biggest pet peeves when ppl try to infantilize characters (especially traumatized ones) to try and make them as pitiful as possible like thats the only way that someone can be sympathetic??? While completely ignoring the more destructive and violent symptoms???? It always made me feel kinda sick to see like that its almost like fetishization??? In a way??? Of mental illness??? Like “oh no theyre an uwu soft bby now and mentally ill so everybody forgives them and anybody who doesnt is awful” THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS IRL PPL CAN BE SYMPATHETIC AND REDEEMED WITHOUT SUDDENLY ACTING LIKE AN UWU SOFT BBY WHO CAN DO NO WRONG AND VICTIMS DONT HAVE TO FORGIVE THE PPL WHO HURT THEM can you tell I have a bone to pick?
you’re so valid anon HSKSBK,,, i think it’s definitely prevalent in a lot of fandoms and it’s pretty weird to see ,, mental illness should never be vilified or romanticised and there seems to be an over abundance of both in some people in the fandom
