Anonymous asked: So you're saying that we shouldn't call ashfur insane bc it's ableism. why would it be? He tried to burn cats alive he's not really 'sane'. Ableism is prejudice against those ppl but I don't see why calling an character insane is causing harm

because it’s implying that psychotic people have no control of their actions, will readily hurt others over situations that don’t go their way without empathy or reasoning, and you’re using the personality disorder as a label and description for somebody who isn’t psychotic

you’re saying that psychotic/mentally ill people do bad things

you’re saying that psychotic/mentally ill people should be used to describe bad things because they’re depicted as being cr*zy killers, which they are not

using the word ins*ne to describe ashfur’s actions is exactly the same as saying “IM SO RANDOM I MUST HAVE ADHD!”, “OMG I PUT MY PENCIL STRAIGHT I MUST HAVE ODC!” and “I JUST ACCIDENTALLY STEPPED ON AN ANT I MUST BE CR*ZY ‘CAUSE I DIDNT CARE!”

it’s extremely harmful to these people, demonizes mentally ill people, and down right ableist

also a small note by saying ashfur was ‘ins*ne’ you’re also directly insulting me considering i have a pending psychotic personality disorder so yeah it’s ableist coming from somebody it’s being ableist against

edit:; i honestly don’t care if you use the language in private but please don’t use it where people with a condition can see
