So memory loss is something that comes up in #TTRPGs sometimes, and I'm annoyed at something I consistently see come up.

As someone who loses memories with every big seizure (I have temporal lobe epilepsy), I want to speak from my personal perspective.

Thread! First: the idea that memory loss is disturbing, trauma inducing, or mentally strenuous and this is perpetually present in the one suffering memory loss.

To me, this rings incredibly false and comes off as tourism-trauma. So no, just no.

What's it like really?
