I’d love for my chronic pain to be cured, same with my depression and anxiety! So I agree with you OP.

But at the same time, I understand where these people are coming from, considering some people might feel like it has unfortunate implications. It’s like people who want a “cure” for things like autism treating autistic people and other neurodivergent people like there’s actually anything wrong with them that needs curing. That there’s something wrong with anyone who’s not neurotypical. Like autism is a disease, and not just a difference. It feels like that’s maybe what the people who find the magical cure problematic are thinking of. And in some cases, they’re right. Not everyone who has something like that, or other things like ADHD would actually want it to be cured, because it’s just a part of them. But in other cases, these people are not right, and they’re not thinking about this with the perspective and nuance it requires. Because not every situation or person is the same. And the magical cure would surely be an optional choice for people who want it in this fictional world, and not something forced upon everyone deemed “different” and “divergent” from the nebulous norm. That would be a whole different kind of story, and that type of story has already been done. And since the magical cure would be an option that’s dependent on choice in this fictional world, I’m pretty sure most people with anxiety and depression, and other afflictions that cause them constant physical and/or psychological pain, would no doubt choose it in a heartbeat. That’s what these people apparently didn’t consider, or perhaps some ignored that possibility because it goes against their point of views.

I’m not a fan of the choice to use the term “special snowflake” to describe them though. I thought everyone but the alt-right and anti-SJWs left that term behind years ago. Not that you’re an alt-righter or anti-SJW though, that’s not what I mean by pointing out the only places I usually still see people use that term. I don’t think people concerned or upset about possible unfortunate implications in a work fit that term, even if their feelings and opinions about it may be misguided. Especially since I think their feelings are understandable in some ways, like I said, even though the ways they go about asserting their thoughts might possibly not be understandable(I don’t know how they go about discussing it, I’m just covering my ass just in case some of these people have harassed the creator or other fans about this, because I don’t want people to assume I support anyone doing that). Maybe me saying this and feeling this way makes me seem like a “special snowflake”, idk.
