I heard that the creators/writers (presumably Spielberg/Cody) had spoken with "experts" on DID yet Diabo Cody didn't want her main character to have a "mental affliction". That in itself doesn't make sense at all. I am very disappointed in all of the artists attached to this series. The series begins with "Tara not taking her DID medication" thus the whole platform is false, as there is no medication for DID. I would think that if one studied DID, they would be more respectful to people who had their childhood stolen from them from predators and their adulthood stolen from them from the disorder and all its accompanying disorders. I don't think a comedy full of overblown, misunderstood concepts would even cross a humane persons' mind.. If I were them, I would claim ignorance of the development of DID, it made me uncomfortable, feeling like the producers, crew and affiliates of this production are advocates of repetitive, on going, horrific torture of children, involving but not limited to a childhood of mental torture, years rape, group rape, involuntary isolation, molestation, penetration into the body with inanimate objects, simulated drowning, being chained, flogged, beat, lit on fire, burnt with irons; basically atrocities in the developmental years. Since obviously, they are now capitalizing upon it. I am most disappointed in Spielberg. What's next a Musical Schindler's List??? Or Comedy in the Camps??? Ridiculous. People do anything to make a dime. I think it is this inherent greed and selfishness in humankind that led us to the place we are now, globally.
