also like want to be clear that there’s been an aestheticization of madness lately that really echoes white cis straight feminine mystique rhetoric from the 50s-70s. it is super frustrating to witness because it’s appropriating reclaimed terms and recontextualizing madness to be easily digestible for an audience of relatively privileged people. these people get off on the exploitation of madpeople’s labour and trauma for art.
