you’re so right abt ableism surroundings how the fandom treats tim and it’s made even worse by the fact that mh, especially by the standards of early 2010s youtube which is when it was made obviously, is actually pretty respectful and sympathetic towards tim and the portrayal of his mental illness. the whole point is that jay and the audience are wrong about their initial perception of tim as scary and violent. mh literally sets him up as suspicious in the first season using horror movie tropes and then in season 3 pulls the rug from under the audience by going “no actually he’s a deeply compassionate dude just trying to survive and do his best. he is not inherently more cruel than everyone else and in fact is the one that makes it out BECAUSE he has learned to cope with these things” . tim not being a bad person is the whole POINT. so it’s even weirder when ppl do this stuff cause it directly goes against canon
tumblr user hivemite, you consistently have some of the best, most normal and good takes on this site and i appreciate you every day. 🫶🫶🫶
this is soooo well said!!! exactly all of this! it's extra frustrating when you have a media that portrays mentally ill characters, Esp one w sm stigmatized disorders with respect and compassion. like come on guys, go back to the media and Think about what it's showing and telling you.
again, really well said thank u sm for this addition 🖤
