Since cancel culture has become widely popular, many people take advantage of the clout they gain and do controversial things just to get noticed—people like Trisha Paytas. This social media influencer is known for taking advantage of cancel culture only to gain clout.
There are many incidents of Trisha doing this, but one of her most recent scandals involves her self diagnosing herself to have a multipersonality disorder. She recently posted a youtube video about her claiming to have dissociative identity disorder. Throughout the video, she was explaining how she concluded that she had this disorder, which people didn't take all that well, especially people that suffer from this.
Before her video, Anthony Padilla posted a youtube video regarding this disorder. Has a series where he "spend a day" with different types of people trying to understand more about a group of people. He recently did a segment " I spent a day with multiple personalities..." learning what it means to have multiple personalities, interviewing serval people to gain perspective.
This series became a thing because Anthony himself suffers from depression and axienty, so he decided to start this segment to educate people on specific topics. Now more than ever, people speak out about these issues, but a lot of times there are missconseptions.
Mental illness has always been a thing, but people never really addressed it in public because of the shame that came with it.
So when Anthony became aware of the situation, he spoke up about how mental illness is not something to joke around about, which Trisha didn't take so lightly. Because of all the backlash she had surrounding this issue, she made a video in response to Anthony, stating how he was insensitive for making her feel crazy about her mental illness. A lot of people came to Anthony's defense, calling out Paytas for diagnosing herself, not having any credibility to do so.
Trisha is the type of person to be obsessed over something and will still drag on the lie despite the copious amount of evidence suggesting otherwise. After this whole situation blew over, she still insists that she suffers from this, "showing" proof of her having episodes.
Paytas has been canceled time and time again and has rarely taken accountability. Cancel Culture doesn't seem to affect her, as it has affected other people, which I'm not sure if that's good or bad. From my point of view, given that i don't know her personally or have had any interaction with her, cancel culture helps her become more aware of her actions. What I mean by that is, she seems to have no filter and doesn't seem to notice when shes crossed the line and being canceled does.
It's all about perspective.
