I did think about DID but doscarded it because I don't think there are any meds for that? I mean probably for stuff closely related but mean like people don't really take meds to make the personalities disappear from my undestanding, some people go to therapy to "merge" those personalities from what I know like if they want to.

I've heard about the doctor stuff yea, and that all makes sense.

Also how is it criticizing women for wearing makeup? From my understanding I think it just says she looks different? Unless it implies some uh idk that she is ugly on one side (of wearing or not makeup)??? I honestly don't see the difference between the glasses and the makeup one. If you take a negative interpretation I feel both would be really bad in different ways anyway. Unless I am interpreting something incorrectly.

    Yes, I don't think the person on twitter understands or cares about that with respect to whether DID involves meds

    I only read it as criticism of women for wearing makeup because its an extremely common line of joke where the butt of the joke is generally that women are dishonest about how they look because their makeup changes their appearance. Sometimes the negativity is explicit, sometimes it is implied. And that generally makes me uncomfortable with people joking about that kind of thing. Whereas glasses giving you a different appearance never gets wielded to attack women.

    Were the elements that could be interpreted uncharitably not all combined here (joking about both makeup and also mental illness), and were the context an individual scale interaction rather than the interaction being turned into a meme for mass appeal at scale I might be inclined to interpret more charitably. But the former makes it feel more malicious and the later makes it feel more important that it not be harmful.
