Of RP's and Mary-Sues, PART DEUX

Subtitled: Why there is no hope left for this person.

You all remember that girl from the original part whose Sue waltzed into Xemnas' room and demanded a job, right? Course you do.
You also remember Literate's sheer epic win at Xemnas and him telling her, basically, to fudge off right the fudge now.

You all seem want to know what's going to happen

TL;DR don't blame the illness you should be FIXING, Sue-mun

[yui_hime]

Having a mental disorder like bipolar or ADHD is one thing. Blaming everything on said disorders without doing anything to help yourself with them is another.

The fact that Sue-mun is blaming their dad for not getting them help for their supposed bipolar/ADHD (love how they can't even say which they have; hun, if you ain't diagnosed you ain't diagnosed), when there are in fact other ways to get help for oneself, suggests to me that Sue-mun isn't really afflicted, just careless and lazy and would rather blame a disease than man the fuck up and fix their problem.

/something that pisses me off whenever it happens

For relevant anecdote, I had a meltdown in fifth grade that resulted in pretty much every authority in the school suggesting child psychologists to my parents. I was eventually diagnosed with a mild case of ADHD and a major case of "going through puberty". The latter eventually subsided, and the former turned out to be so mild I didn't really require treatment, just an attitude adjustment.

Like most of my characters who change the story for the better

If one player's characters are hogging the story to the point of alienating/ostracizing others, they are not changing the story for the better.

EXACTLY! If she was saying that with an official diagnosis I'd be more tolerant, but I don't think she even knows what 'bipolar' MEANS. A while ago she said she's bipolar and I asked her about it and her reply seemed off compared to how she usually talks, so I googled it. She quoted that off a website. You could claim that she just can't explain it in her own words, but since I learned/was taught how to explain 'autism' to someone when I was seven, that seems unlikely, moreso when you know I asked her how she handles it specifically and she changed the subject.
Fun fact: after no one replied to that post for ten minutes, she double-posted the text equivalent of "Okay, I've been acting like a total bitch and throwing temper tatrums just now and I'm sorry, so can you please stop ignoring me?" The exact move I made is difficult to replicate, but it held the middle ground to a facepalm and flipping the bird.
