okay but my problem with pearl hate is not because she's my favourite and i want everyone to agree. i understand different opinions and that not everyone likes her for various reasons. the reason that it's very personal and distressing for me is that the reasoning i always see for people hating her are very common symptoms of autism and some mental health disorders. seeing people hate her for these reasons makes me believe that everyone hates me because i do some of the same things/ have some of the same traits.(that i can't control!!) it causes more self-hate than i already have. it makes me hate myself for being autistic and mentally ill. i finally found a character like me, that i could relate to and now the whole thing just makes me feel worse...
