here in my location mocking is defined as imitating/ copying / extreme exaggeration of something or someone. in reference to mental disorders and this show it is imitating/ copying/ extremely exaggerating the negative aspects of the mental disorder DID for entertainment comedic/ comedy- drama purposes.

one of the scenes in the show I do not find entertaining is when the show portrays one of the alters to be making a sexualized/ romantic pass /gestures ....at the neighbors, neighborhood children and the mentally ill characters own children....here in my location if this had happened in real life it would be a crime of sexual assault and incest. I do not appreciate the show portraying DID alters to be doing this kind of behavior.

if you research the show you will find interviews and news articles where the producers have admitted they are doing this and that the show is not a representation of the mental disorder and is meant for comedy/ entertainment purposes.

some people may think my views on this are a bit harsh but I see the results of sexual assault and incest every work day, Im sorry but I will never condone this kind of thing. not as a person who went through it and not as a person that works with those going through it. if I did loosen up on this issue then to me its like saying sure have at it, continue to sexually abuse children and adults, sure go ahead use mental disorders for entertainment and money rather than treating people with mental illness like human beings.

this show is not one where I can say to my friends and family .... wow what a great show, if you want to know what DID is watch this show, watch the character commit crimes against the neighbors and their own children, guess what thats what DID is... yea right not happening here.
Thanks for this!
