In a lot of circles, substance abuse is seen as shameful. That the people who go through it are bad people, dirty, poor, evil.
But substance abuse isn't any of those things. It's a mental illness.
When you say you support people with mental illness, when you say you care, when you say you're an advocate....
Don't you dare exclude substance abuse.
People need love and care and help regardless of what they're struggling with.

one more thing chat. stop pressuring cc's into making a statement the second something comes out. just because somebody was busy today or not active on social media outside of streaming or needed some time to process that someone they trusted did those things doesnt mean they support wilbur. if they ignore the situation for days or weeks or months? thats something to be upset about, sure. but deciding somebody is an awful person because they dont make a statement the day of hours after it happened is a bit much. theyre people too with lives and emotions they need to process. theres also probably further details they legally cannot talk about

autistic! bruce wayne & silver st. cloud — detective comics #470
[ID: Bruce Wayne talking to a beautiful woman that's attending his yacht party. He's wearing a black suit with wide-notched lapels and a pink button up shirt underneath it with a matching cravat. She's wearing a coral green dress that clings to her figure, pearl earrings, and has shoulder length silver hair. She greets him, "Ah! The mysterious Mr. Wayne! I don't believe we've met! I'm Silver St. Cloud!" Bruce smirks slightly, obviously enthralled by her as he chimes back, "I'll bet you are!" He smoothly asks, "Have you lost someone?" as she gazes out at the bustling room. She tells him, "My date? Davy's down hustling pool with the mayor's speechwriter! You have most of Gotham's government on board! I hope you're not an enemy spy – or running for office!"
Bruce laughs at the joke as he leans over the yacht's railing. He looks out at the water as he tells her, "I'm afraid not! But Gotham's been good to me! I just wanted to say thanks, in my own way!" Silver, who probably knows of Bruce's orphaned past and is actually familiar with Gotham, looks at him intrigued as Bruce straightens back into standing. She tells him, "You're a strange man – not like what I'd imagined!" Bruce winks and does a little finger gun in her direction as he says, "I wish I could fascinate you further, then, but I have to make the rounds! Maybe I'll see you later, if Davy's still busy!" She giggles, "I'd like that!"
Bruce slips away through the crowd and quickly changes into his Batman costume and snorkeling gear! He thinks to himself, "I'm sorry to leave you, Silver! Bruce Wayne was really interested!" But alas! He has the evening planned to the last detail in order to stop a villain commit nuclear fallout within a hour. He succeeds, receiving only minor radiation burns in the process, and returns to the party just in time for him to be present while dinner is being served!
Silver notices his presence and strolls up to him to greet him again, saying she's been looking for him. Bruce excuses, "I'm not that hard to find, Silver! Your luck must be bad!" Before he reassures her, "Actually, I've been looking for you, too!" Miraculously, she's charmed by him and wraps her arms around his neck. Her hands go to his hair and he places one of his hands on her upper back as the other stays in his pant's pocket. She purrs, "So we're just ships that pass in the night–?" Bruce enthusiastically tells her, "Lady, I could make a pass at you any night!" Before he pulls away and starts walking. He tells her without looking, "Come on! Let's get some food and talk it over!" Silver looks at her hand perplexed, pondering to herself that it's odd that his hair is damp and how she wonders why... END ID]

One of the most bizarre aspects of going back to live with your parents as an adult, with the perspective to notice how ridiculous some of the ways they interact with you are - like things that were definitely present and weird when you were a kid but you didn't necessarily have the perspective to understand they were strange - is just the unrelenting, constant barrage of utterly inane observations they make about truly, genuinely, incredibly normal behavior. Not like trying to say mean things or be judgemental necessarily, just like bug under a microscope disordered excess inspection type of shit, where you actually have to wonder why they have that much time and energy to spare for it
Truly like "Oh I used your bathroom earlier and I noticed you bought mouthwash. Are you doing alright?" Shdjdjfifnf what could you POSSIBLY mean by that

Oh for sure Haruka goes through a lo every game but it's particularly bad in Y4 because Kiryu keeps dropping the ball as a parent. Like first the whole Saejima thing and then Hamazaki washes up like the next day and Kiryu just invalidates her very legitimate issues with him??? Like sure she goes through more actual bad shit in pretty much every other game, but it's a special kind of emotional hardship to know that a parental figure is not as concerned about your safety as they should be.
EXACTLY and it's such a slap in the face to kiryu's character too
like obviously haruka is the paramount character in this convo, she's the one being forced to grow up and shoulder burdens without a proper outlet to talk about her feelings with
to add on to that, kiryu's been shown to be able to be a great father to his kids, so the fact he's such a dismissive prick in Y4 is so ????? it's just awful

People in the banpitbulls subreddit are something else. The vast majority of dogs belonging to the various bully breeds we collectively call 'pit bulls' go through their entire lives without a problem but if you just listened to them, every single one if those dogs will murder a minimum of seven school buses full of orphans by the time they are five.
Yes, it is a dog with a high prey drive that needs an experienced owner and plenty of exercise and mental stimulation in order to properly keep it. Yes, they should be leashed, properly socialized, trained well, and under supervision around children and smaller animals AS ALL DOGS SHOULD as every dog has the capacity to do a lot of harm. Yes, the five or six different bully breeds are responsible for more attacks than any single other breed. Yes, pibble advocates can be annoying, insensitive, and get a lot of the nitty gritty wrong.
But no, not every pit bull type dog is a ticking time bomb monster whose planning to eat you, your family, your other dog, and your house. In fact, statistically, most of them will not be a problem. Stop having a panic attack or a rage induced aneurysm every time you see someone posting a picture of their bully being cute.
