this post makeS ME REALLY REALLY MAD BECAUSE:

• CRONUS IS NOT ACTUALLY FUCKING HUMANKIN OR  WHATEVER IT’S PRETTY CLEAR THAT HE SAID THAT STUFF TO TRY AND GARNER SYMPATHY AND ATTENTION BECAUSE THAT IS PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE POINT OF HIS CHARACTER
• JADE DIDN’T HAVE NARCOLEPSY, SHE WAS KNOCKED OUT BY VRISKA A BUNCH AS “PRACTICE”
• EVEN THOUGH SOLLUX IS STATED AS BEING BIPOLAR, HE DOESN’T REALLY ACT BIPOLAR SO MUCH AS WISHY WASHY SO THAT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY POOR REPRESENTATION OF A DISABILITY IF YOU ASK ME
• JAKE MAY HAVE BEEN HIT ON THE HEAD AND MAY BE OBLIVIOUS AND FORGETFUL BECAUSE OF IT BUT THAT ISN’T REALLY A DISABILITY????? AND IF ANYTHING WHAT DAMAGE MIGHT HAVE BEEN DONE IS USED AS COMIC RELIEF
• NEPETA ISN’T EVEN AUTISTIC, KARKAT WAS PRETTY MEAN IN THE BEGINNING OF HIVEBENT AND USED WORDS SUCH AS “AUTISTIC” AND EVEN “RETARDED” AS INSULTS

SO i’m not trying to say that hussie doesn’t represent disability well, because he does a lot of the time! but some of these characters are pretty shitty examples of that representation. 

lets not forget dirks “depression” because hes many things but depressed? hes just heart broken (not even that but ok) and socially awkward, OBVIOUSLY, since he has been alone for a long time
