#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.

You are such a good person, i think. Your latest post(as of 4:10pm Arizona, US time) spoke to me really hard. My father is a cop, in the united states, arizona, duh. And he used to be such a good person, he was a security guard and a damn good one too, and later in he became a prison guard because it paid better, and then he joined the police force.

I’d like to think that hes one of the good ones, and for the most part he is. A lot of my delinquent friends over the years who’ve had run-ins with him say that he gets them breaks, he takes care of them, hes a good cop. I’ve even seen body camera footage of him in the field and i’m proud to say that hes my dad. He calls out bad actors where he sees them, and he gets punished for it. He doesnt see the system or how his punishments are by design. And he continues turning in his cog, begrudgingly, and slightly out of time, but he thinks hes making a difference

Sorry for the ramble and essay, i just wanted to say that i really like your blog and i think you are a very nice human being. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

P.s. i’m totally basing an oc off of your outlook on security. You strike me as more of a superhero than a security guard.

Oh, that’s a super flattering take and a valuable perspective- so thank you! But I’m a gullible dumbass, and not even an incredibly smart or fit one- I just want people to be happy and safe. That’s all. And I don’t want to BE a cop, I’ve NEVER wanted to be a cop, but every time the request comes around I feel like I’m wearing down.

I keep wondering if I could help MORE in a position like that.

Probably like your dad did.

Here, people know they’re safe with me because I shut down the gunhappy jerks, but I don’t know how long it would take to truly make a difference in public security, or how many of my morals I’d have to compromise to get to that point

I feel objectively like a system so archaic and flawed can’t be changed from the inside, but another part of me says that you don’t need to change an entire system to make a difference where it counts

I believe that so many bad situations and life-changing moments can be diverted or changed by a single person in the right place at the right time- and I figure, if I trust myself to do the right thing and BE the right person, shouldn’t I do my best to put myself in those places?

But good intentions, roads to hell, you know? I don’t WANT to be a cop. But I want to be able to DO SOMETHING about the thinks I dislike seeing in conflicts. SOMEONE has to be willing to do that, right?

I’m not religious, you know? But the devil can be very convincing

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.

I would sacrifice pieces of my flesh but I’d still be considered selfish for wanting to keep my bones
