bet you this one of those families who don't believe in mental health being a thing too, bru with the way her mom talks abt her
Literally. This story is so realistic in it's depiction of real life events. These are situations and circumstances real people actually go through and struggle to supass in daily life. It's to the point it's infuriating. Especially to see the mc struggle single handedly at the face of her parental figures ever pressing criticism (as well as judgement) and societies growing impossible to obtain standards(including exclusion of mental health awareness). All without any support system set in place, but this game. While the brother may have intended to help his sister avoid their parents harsh views, he's also blindsiding his sisters need for help, and time to heal. Mental health issues usually stem from specific or multiple points in one's life. If anything, they certainly aren't described as 'easy' on any level to resolve. Sometimes even intervention is necessary - this does not qualify as that. It's important to always remember, there's a lot of people who do not see a way out. It's so incredibly frustrating keeping this in mind. I can't help but appreciate and send my respect to the author, the artist and the team behind them. This story certainly hits right at home. Has me ready to step into the story at any given moment and set some people straight for sure.
if ik my sister was a victim of a big bullying case that completely destroyed her to a point of hikkikomori, and her only socialising platform was the acc of the video game i lend to her, I WOULDN'T THREATEN HER LIKE THAT. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS I FINALLY SEE GER ACTIVELY WANTING TO GO OUT AND MEET UP WITH PEOPLE.
ESP BC SHE'S CLEARLY WAS INCAPABLE OF ACTUALLY GOING OUT THERE TO GET AHEAD IN LIFE WITH COLLEGE OR WORK BC OF HER PAST TRAUMAS.
plus the way he's going about it is so harsh too, like wth, this is your sister, whom yk is prone to panic attacks over simple social interactions and you're being THIS harsh over it?
if this was irl, we could be witnessing someone's actual mental decline.
