as a person with a few mental disorders beneath my belt and some time expressing and writing as characters with these traits ive recently had some thoughts;
what if it was just better if no one had problems?
does it make a role play better if everyone reacts the same way? or with only slight variations?
does it make a role play better if the blotchy parts of human existence are erased?
sure there are movements going forth through social advocates to get more light on something that people have been hiding away for centuries, it is still taboo. especially with how twisted Hollywood has made disorders appear to the average person.
but should we bring that darkness into a role play. should OCD, ADHD, MDD, or PTSD be actual problems that characters deal and cope with?
should the trauma of a character's background have a name?
