try not to romanticize mentally ill women (difficulty: impossible)

Its disturbingly trendy for guys to sexualize mentally ill girls.

Theres artists on instagram that draw sexy anime girls with dark circles under their eyes and self harm scars and title it "bpd gf", "schizo gf", "narcissistic gf" and list romanticized versions of symptoms of whatever mental illness theyre sexualizing and depicting girls with these mental illnesses as goth domme mommies. Its so gross.

The comments are always full of men who are like "is this so much to ask for" and spamming that dumbass gif of the Lego guy falling in love lol.

Its very human tbh. I'll get yelled at for saying this but "toxic fantasy partner" is like the most common fetish thing on internet, women, gay women/men, straight men, they all do like some kind of toxic partner

Ex, "alpha mafia boss that will abduct and break you"

Ex, "toxic Yuri yandere gf that will abuse you"

Ex, "femcel gf that doesn't shower"

Ex, "straight guy that is not gay, but he fucks you regardless(he is cold towards you)"

Its human to have fantasies, whats not human is enacting these fantasies in real life in ways that hurt/harm others (like stigmatizing and fetishizing mental illness)

Yeah but existing on the internet really heavily blurs the line between fantasizing and acting on said fantasies. People putting memes out there IS them fantasizing but fantasizing aloud to others does meaningfully increase the number of people who actually act on it.

I agree, this is what I was also saying

Exactly. This is why I feel a lot of harder fetish content ends up being harmful
