#i’m fucking tired of this shit

Hey, I am respectfully responding to this post (feel free to not respond and just block me if this bothers you)

Plurality simply means “more than one.” That’s all. The vast majority of endogenic systems don’t claim to have DID, and they don’t claim to be made up of dissociated parts.

Plurality actually is practiced outside of dissociative disorders by a wide variety of people from a plethora of different cultures. There are many religions, cultures, and spiritualities outside the West where plurality is common and accepted as a phenomenon that does not involve trauma or dissociative disorders.

And again, plurality simply means “more than one.” So if, say, a writer feels like their characters are real /to them/, and if /they personally feel/ like they are not alone in their mind due to their characters… they are existing as more than one and they could call themselves plural if they want to.

DID and other dissociative disorders are not “alter disorders” and I’m tired of people using my serious trauma disorder as a “gotcha” for all sorts of plurality and wide swathes of human experience. My disorder is not defined by my plurality. It just isn’t. And plurality is such a basic concept that applies to such a huge range of people, other than just those of us who have dissociative disorders.

Hate to break it to you, but if you weren’t a system, you wouldn’t have the disorder. The disorder IS defined by plurality, whether you like it or not.

These people are claiming to be systems, which is a term made BY people with dissociation disorders, FOR people with dissociation disorders.

I’m not using my disorder as a “gotcha”, I’m telling people to stop fucking playing pretend that they can just be a system just because they want to be. Because they think it’s “fun”.

As a writer myself, it is appalling that you think it’s okay for them to say they’re plural because “my characters are real to me, so I’m making them part of me uwu”. Every character a writer created is part of them, that’s how creating characters works. That doesn’t make you “plural”. They aren’t “existing as more than one”, they’re being a fucking writer.

Every member of a system is their own person. Their own being. They aren’t just “part of the whole”. You can’t will them into existence, and you don’t get to decide who they are. Being a system is a disorder. Period. And I’m tired of these people just deciding that they are one because they have active imagination, or they like to roleplay with themselves.

As stated in that post, people just deciding upon themselves to “live as plural” has literally led to therapists trying to dismiss real systems as people with “overactive imaginations” or saying “well if you can choose to create alters, then it should be just as easy to choose to get rid of them.” And don’t try to tell me it doesn’t because it literally happened to my brother.

Systemhood is not something you get to claim for shits and giggles. There’s no shame in being a singlet who plays with your dolls in your head for fun, just stay the fuck out of our spaces.

i know this will be a controversial statement for some people on this website, but you guys need to understand that being a radical communist with zero awareness of the nuance of living on planet earth is really not very different from being an alt-right extremist.

if you’re past the point of using logical thinking and understanding that societies and politics are complex and can be wildly different from one place to another, you’re just a fanatic, in spite of the place in the spectrum you place yourself on. you’re too swayed and brainwashed by propaganda. you’re just a blind fanatic, and your agenda becomes dangerous for real people living in the real world.

No actually I’m not fucking over what they did to Carmen. Literally when they introduced the baby plot I was going hey does anybody else think it’s fucking insane that they wrote this 38 y old woman just accepting a surprise pregnancy with zero second thoughts or concerns, when having a pregnancy at that age could put her and the fetus at even greater risk than average, when her son that she had at twenty, after getting trapped in an abusive marriage at eighteen, is just about to be a fully grown adult and she is SO CLOSE to having a little more independence and freedom and getting to be SOMEONE outside of just a mom; and she just?? Is not allowed to have even the slightest reservations about having this baby with a man who REGULARLY DRUNK DRIVES, HAS NO STABLE INCOME, and definitely does not have fucking INSURANCE

And then!! After all of that!!! THEY DECIDE TO ALMOST KILL HER!!! They admit, logically, that pregnancy CAN KILL PEOPLE. That she should have, clearly, had A FUCKING REASON TO WORRY. And is she allowed any fucking characterization in this? Is she allowed any SCRAP of humanity?? NO!!! ITS FOR JOHNNY’S MAN PAIN!! it’s for her SON!! They deny her the right to be anything other than a fucking meat sack for an unborn fetus and a receptacle for the emotional labor of every man in her life!! CK WRITERS PLEASE DIE SLOWLY!!!!!
