Can we PLEASE make this common knowledge in this damn fandom? No, he’s not “turning evil” or “psychotic” or “turning into a different person” he just thinks he’s back on the battlefield fighting for his life. “Fliqpy” is just a name for when he goes into this state, and honestly they never should have created that nickname because it’s just created so much dang confusion. “Fliqpy” is just Flippy hallucinating.
Is HTF an accurate portrayal of mental illnesses? No, it was the early 2000′s, there was a lot of misinformation floating around even within the Psychological community, and the show never set out to try and accurately portray literally anything (funny you guys never accuse the show of promoting child neglect or animal abuse). But hallucinations ARE a symptom of PTSD. I’ve seen a lot of people claim otherwise while criticizing the show.
happy tree friends
