hey losers this is kinda important

i have permission to post this btw, art/post by @/mwynhau on instagram

instagram artists and their poor storytelling - abuse of the traumatized and mentally ill - "that's not right!"

image, text altered when written by me: my name is môrgô, thrilled to meet you! i'm here to say if you see trauma as character development - "your character writing skills are abysmal!"

image: 'they need that bit of trauma it's their sparkle' - if you do not see an issue with comments like the above you scare me

image: 'they need that bit of trauma it's their sparkle' - i see a lot of people refer to trauma as this amazing thing which develops a character, it's extremely distressing from a traumatized person's pov to see other people treat their trauma like a fun thing which makes the character better. if you think a traumatized character is cooler than a not traumatized one please think why

image: a good character does not need any form of trauma and to act like trauma is such a developer is really wrong... artists on here [instagram] flex the fact that their characters get abused and the grand majority of the time artists have rather normal lives, it's awful

( i decided to skip a slide because it was more personal to the original artist )

image: i wonder.. why do people think that trauma is such a great character enhancer? i had multiple discussions with multiple people and we came to a conclusion... mental illness. you people just love to see mentally ill traumatized people in your edgelord stories, we are often 1. villain ed or 2. babified. it's dehumanizing.

image: i'm not saying you cannot write a character with trauma, but please just stay aware that trauma is NOT character development. character development is fleshing out your characters in all different areas and caring for them, NOT just slapping trauma into them and calling it a day.

image: "that's right!" - trauma and mental illness should not be used as character development yet so many of you use it as one, so many of you are not traumatized or mentally ill too, you don't know how to write and your characters become so one-dimensional and boring due to it.
