Eh, it gets kind of annoying but I'm pretty chill. The people who flame on me for how I portray females, lgbt, disability, or whatever else aren't worth my time....because they're the type more than likely who get worked up about things just for the sake of getting worked up. I've had people just assume I was an able-bodied white man, which I find hysterical. Like yeah, to them anybody who doesn't write flawed characters as literal gods must be some sort of "heteronormative cis-gendered white sexist male scum."
I'm a tiny, physically disabled female. I am LGBT+, previously diagnosed with psychosis, anorexic, have been physically and sexually abused, and obviously a chick. So if they, as socially "typical" people, wanna nag on me for how I portray things I've literally experienced, that's their problem. Not mine.
This is actually a problem with modern romanticisms of mental illness, too. Especially with the people who fetishize insanity, you've got people with no experience with mental illness bashing anyone who draws a damn creepypasta fanart. I'm sure once future chapters of SHILO come out, I'm going to get sh
t on for my representations of mentally ill characters....which will be very humorous to me. Because, again, there was a point in my life where I was literally hearing voices and seeing hallucinations of people hanging from my ceiling. Obviously I'm better now, but the point still stands.
On that note, if anyone needs help or advice for writing a quote-unquote "crazy person", I'm all ears lol
