    Antisocial is not a mental illness and trauma is obvious but the point is that Batman suffered from trauma and he’s acting “normal” there’s no sign of a mental illness

    This is the same for most heroes who suffered from trauma

    Usually when a character suffers from a mental illness it’s either a villain or an anti hero

    Anti heroes is lowkey what OP is looking for but why do they have to be anti heroes why not just heroes

    Feel like a decent number of anime heroes/protagonists do

    Evangelion a prime example, Guts from Berserk, eren from aot, Light from death note, etc

    Villains with mental illness is fine. It's using that mental illness to justify the extremely f***ed up s*** they do in films, shows, games, etc is where it gets bad.

    Take Kefka from Final Fantasy VI. Yes, due to constant experimentation and testing it caused his mental state to shatter and it formed into a legitimate illness and insanity. However, none of that s*** justifies him destroying half of the world and attempting to put an end to all existence once he becomes a god.

    Joker is another example. Yes, that "one bad day" caused him to finally crack and it turned him into a lunatic. However, just because he is mentally ill/insane does not make him worthy of empathy. Mostly because he doesn't give a f*** about any of the horrible s*** he does or the amount of people he kills.

    rt Joker one of the worst for this.

    dont know anything about that final fantasy weeb s*** tho

    What is Batman’s mental illness?

    OCD & PTSD

    Depression sometimes

  • Broken person comes from a broken mind.

    I have some illness myself but I'll be the first to admit there's a reason it exists

    I know a borderline b**** who was convicted of murder like a year ago.

    It sucks but it's real s***

    We really need to stop the negative and dangerous portrayal of "psych wards." As a person who has worked in them...they don't look or operate the way you see them on TV.

    Most villains are mentally ill tho. They lie, kill, steal, and don’t believe that the rules apply to them

    I think just using mental illness is a very boring way to explain a villain‘s motives. Like atleast give me some kind of conservative from ideology driven a******. When you got literally white supremacist walking around in the world then that’s definitely proof enough that human beings can be evil and sane.
