"Crazy" characters
I like the concept of mental illness being a character trait. Hell, I've had characters who suffer from some form of illness. What I hate is when someone has a "Crazy" character and thinks that Crazy=LOL Randumb, schizophrenia=psychopath/The Joker, or some other Hot Topic thing. I find it insulting to people who actually have mental illness.

[center]I have schizophrenia and I can confirm it does not make you crazy [b]IF[/b] you take care of the symptoms. Yes, sometimes hearing things can drive someone nuts, but I've learned to silence the voices that aren't good for me. Such voices that tell you to do bad things or tell you to kill yourself those are the ones you want to say, "Hey [b]I AM NOT[/b] going to do such things." It can be work, sometimes, but have to live with it.[/center]
