That TSA guy picked the wrong junk to fondle.
THIS IS SO!! FUCKING!!! FRUSTRATING HOLY SHIIIIIT!!!
So, not only are they simply erasing a key personality aspect of such an iconic character, they are specifying they they are simply erasing a key aspect of such an iconic character.
They felt the need to actively say “No, no this character wont have Schizophrenia anymore.” Why did they have to do that?? Rub salt in the wound?
When will people realize that Schizophrenia is a real goddamn mental illness, and that erasing it from media will not erase it from reality. Deadpool has always had Schizophrenia, its a known fact, why did they feel the need to backtrack and declare that their Deadpool isnt “insane” like that?
Ill fucking tell you why.
Because the stigma against mental illness is still fucking huge. Its great that society is starting to broaden their acceptance of illnesses such as Depression and Bipolar Disorder, but illnesses such as Schizophrenia are still being veiwed as “too crazy.” People need to fucking learn and accept that having and living with Schizophrenia does not make you “insane” or “crazy,” not in the ways that stereotypes dictate. Its a treatable disease, and hundreds of thousands of people live with it every day, and hundreds of thousands of people are just trying to go about their lives.
But no, these absolutely fuckwads had to take away one of the most iconic characters who has Schizophrenia.
The only possible silver lining I can scrap from the bottom of the barrel is at least now they wont be able to fuck up their representation.
Im so fucking mad.
these people ACTIVELY SAID “Oh, hes going to be crazy, but not THAT crazy, oh haha nooo” like what the actual FUCK
Go fuck yourselves
Oh my god
Lmao
A Tasting Menu of Female Representation:
two or more women talking to each other about something other than a man
at least one female character with her own narrative arc that is not about supporting a man’s story
a female character that cannot be removed from the plot and replaced with a sexy lamp without destroying the story.
Chef’s Specials:
no woman assaulted, injured or killed to further the story of another character.
complex women defined by solid characterization rather than a handful of underdeveloped masculine-coded stereotypes.
This is unexpectedly not about make-up haha
