Hey So, Joker Isnt a Super Great Representation of Mental Illness, You Guys Lord Ravenscraft 2020-02-08 | It's really not very good at all.Update: I want to add a small clarification. At 27:25 I said that Dr. Sarrett researches depictions of "autism and other mental illnesses." This is inconsistent with what I originally wrote in my script, which was "representation of autism and mental health" and I can only chalk the error up to being flustered while shooting my first video. But to be clear, autism is not an illness, and more importantly, deserves to be fairly represented in media. Including by me.
