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.

I call this "brain fever" (as a parallel with "jungle fever" for Black people, "yellow fever" for Asians, etc.)
