Do y’all know how there is a tendency for some people on the left to take fairly innocent concepts and morph them into something completely devoid of compassion or kindness? Like that whole emotional labor thing. Well, I’m starting to kind of see that with the whole “you’re still responsible for your actions even if your actions were because of your symptoms” which is true, but it seems like it’s evolving to a “have no sympathy for trauma victims.” Please don’t take it too far.
Alternatively I’ve also seen an interaction that’s more like “I don’t have to treat you any differently than I would if you weren’t going through trauma symptoms” which is also bad. Like if you’re gonna get into a fight with someone don’t do it in the middle of them having a panic attack? Like not tumblr weirdos that claim to be having a panic attack after getting called out for saying the N word but like, people actually going through panic attacks.
