I'm quite fond of gratuitous tragedy.
Unfortunately, there's a sizable amount of roleplayers who don't educate themselves first and end up turning a number of serious disorders into downright mockeries, fueling the never-ending cycle of misinformation and taboo mental health is plagued with in our modern society. This is what I have a problem with, not the former.

I do...
I think there are some specific mental illnesses that are handled improperly due to misinformation, (DID pretty commonly) but I think that as long as you are aware it is not realistic and never try to pass it off as such OOCly, the narrative and emotional impact of your writing should outweigh its more unrealistic qualities. I don't like the belief that someone must be an expert and write as realistically as possible for every circumstance. If the writing happens to upset someone or offend them then correct it, but otherwise, I'd rather people have fun writing what they want to as long as it causes no real harm.
That and I don't think shyness is always synonymous with social anxiety disorder.
