Re: everyone - I don't think interviews count as being equally canon to the actual source material, and Glenn Howerton on his twitter account retweeted a borderline fan who said that the diagnosis was relatable and accurate. Whether or not this was how RCG felt in the past is in question, but interviews where someone asks outright 'how do you feel about Dennis's sociopathy' seem to me to not have the right amount of weight as canon.

Also, that's great that you 'know a lot of ASPD and BPD' but I know a lot of borderline people who think that the portrayal is accurate and you having a friend with these disorders is not the same as you having it yourself. Also, if anyone is someone with antisocial personality disorder is Dee. The hallmark of ASPD is being a lone wolf - that's why it's called antisocial. Dee has few attachments and outside of having terrible stage fright and not wanting to be constantly insulted, doesn't give a shit what people think about her. Dennis (metaphorically) can't go five minutes without his friends without hallucinating from lack of attention. Arguing for Dee having borderline speaks to how gendered the diagnosis usually is, but I have done plenty of reading and know plenty of people who relate and the diagnosis is accurate.

You could argue comorbidity ASPD with borderline but psychopathy fyi is not a diagnosis and I call the credentials of everyone in this thread into question when not one of you seem to know this.
