I really wish that characters with ocd weren't treated as annoying/cringey/a hindrance to other characters bc of their ocd or had their ocd used for comedic purposes. People with ocd already stress heavily that they are becoming/already are like the first part and being laughed at for a disorder that you do not want, did not ask for and already have difficulty managing is horrible and impacts your mental health and self-esteem greatly. I really wish characters with ocd didnt have their ocd as their defining or only characteristic either, bc that's just as bad. People with ocd are NOT their disorder, they are actual people who happen to have a disorder, and they deserve to be treated as real people and not an annoyance or a joke
