DID Portrayal

I was scared to pick this up because of yet another implication that DID patients are m*rderers. I stopped reading after chapter 3. Those suffering this mental illness already have enough of those tropes in movies and books or whatever. They don't need another one. Even if this story is saying that the alter did it for a purpose, it's still kind of portraying that if you have this, you are dangerous.

If someone who have DID doesn't know they have it and read stories like these, imagine how scared of themselves they will be. Not remembering things is scary enough for them already.

(Also just in case people who wants to read this are reading the comments; please be warned that this series has a lot of triggering things such as abuse and etc.)

    I have DID and im really gald that you pointed this out but the story is pretty interesting XDDDDDDDD yes I've never in my life seen a DID representing movie/comic/manga that got EVERYTHING PERFECTLY right but idk if you saw i commented about that.. and uhh its not surprising to see such a reaction
    if a person literally bought up your trauma and tied you up and did all that shit ofc alter would get aggressive!
    Heck even a person without DID would do the same probably..
    But you see protectors are exactly for that! NO NO NOT TO KILL BUT TO PROTECT THE PERSON FROM THATS TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE! XDDDDDD
    If you don't hurt them they won't hurt you..

    That's true! Although maybe I wished it didn't have to come to the point of k*lling. But yes, I agree that alters only act when provoked.

    You're right, I've never really seen proper portrayal of DID except for Mr. Robot.
