The movie Jaws, tangibly and irreparably, damaged public perception of Great White Sharks, to the point of reducing beach turnout for years to come

Since the movie Fight Club was released, numerous emotionally stunted men have tried to create their own Fight Clubs, all over the world

After the Matrix movies were released by the Wachowski sisters, there were multiple instances of people using the film as a justification for murder – to the point where “The Matrix Defence” has its own wikipedia page

Why am I telling you all these facts?

Because popular media affects reality, it can have measurable influence on public feelings and perception, and in some ways can affect you on a deeper and more visceral level than any straight-forward lesson can.

So if you don’t think that the movie Split can cause serious stigma and harm towards people with psychotic mental illnesses – though particularly Schizophrenia and DID – through turning public perception against them, and portraying them as dangerous monsters, then you haven’t been paying attention.

Don’t give your money to this dangerous, misinformed garbage.
