#is this syscourse? i dont think so

[cavityinmybrain]

i hate seeing parts language vilified. i saw a super funny meme where op put a disclaimer saying “i dont use “”””parts”””” language this is just for sillies!”

but people DO use parts language. parts language helped us get to a point where some parts could self elect the language they wanted to use for themself. parts language is not bad or icky and i hate seeing people treat it like it is.

sometimes pro endos and anti endos should just. chill. interact. don't limit yourself to only interacting with people with morals that are 100% the same as yours. everyone's all "no one is perfect" until the imperfection is that they don't agree with you on something. like no actually flaws aren't just skills people aren't good at, they're also moral things

tl;dr just chatting with people who disagree with you is ok and not everything is about syscourse

always offputting to me how much people (journalists, medical professionals) put focus on appearance and aesthetics when discussing things like self-diagnosed and "imitative" DID. like i feel like i see a lot of. idk. "people on tiktok who dress in colorful clothes while calling themselves systems..." "the DID patients i treat are different from those people online, who have dyed hair and do cosplays..."

& like, the validity of these ppl's claims of having DID is always in question when these traits are being brought up. it just feels like a weird attempt to create a distinction between Normal, Reasonable People and Those Attention-Seeking Liars Flaunting Their Blue Hair Online.

this permeates DID spaces too. lost track of how many times ive seen someone on r/DID lamenting how they have to share spaces with "those weirdos who use neopronouns" and how they just want to find "other NORMAL people with DID"

I just find the argument that endos are making us look bad to singlets so annoying. Like newsflash we're gonna look bad anyways. the majority of psychologists don't even think trauma-based plurality is real. endos aren't helping or hurting our case they're literally just existing

i truly dont understand how people can do syscourse ALL THE TIME. no matter what side ur on. isnt it exhausting? arent you tired all the time? dont you…have better things to do?

[artisticdysfunction]

i can't help but wonder if there is indeed a large portion of endogenic systems who have no struggles whatsoever and glorify being a system,

or if they just chose to not showcase their struggles (understandable, no one should have to) and then onlookers just assume that they don't struggle because they don't talk about it.

I don't feel like traumagenic and endogenic systems should be grouped together because when they are, people get a misunderstanding of how complex dissociative disorders are work and what being endogenic means.

I've realized the reason so many people use the term system is because of how they define it. Some people may define being a system as just having alters but if you define a system as being multiple people, then yeah, a lot of experts fall under the label!

Even if you don't necessarily have DID or OSDD, you can still have an experience similar to alters. Whether it's because of your cultural practices or other disorders that cause you to feel like multiple people, it can happen and it never felt right to me when people just balantly dismissed endogenic systems as being liars or role-players.

From interacting with the endogenic community though, a lot of them don't understand that alters or alternate identities are so intertwined with trauma. You cannot separate a system from it's trauma, not because the system formed from trauma but because that trauma effects every aspect of being a system. At least for OSDDID.

So you can see how if people try to separate the trauma from the system, that'd cause a lot of fuss. I wish mental health professionals would study the phenomenon of having multiple distinct identities because maybe it isn't always because of trauma. Maybe it can be because of something else.

That's just me speculating but I don't think we should say anyone is faking their experiences just because they haven't been scientifically researched. DID itself is so under-researched, I'd be surprise if other forms of plurality got any attention at all.

me following pro and anti endogenic (system) accounts because syscourse confuses me and i dont caare!! SHOW ME THE STIMBOARDS I CARE NOT FOR YOUR SILLY DISCOURSE!!!!

[butchdykekondraki]

ohhh do not look at the gotdamn tags unless u wanna see me complaining about syscourse ^_^

[cavityinmybrain]

there is a huge accessibility issue around pluralkit/simplyplural culture ive noticed. idk, i dont use a screenreader so maybe i am wrong, but the amount of special characters used for aesthetics seems like it would break screen readers.

i was briefly in a system server on discord that required everything to be screen reader friendly and i honestly did not realize just how much extra flair people put on their pluralkit/simply plural profiles that make it unusable with certain screen readers.

[genesisvirus]

some of us have been tempted to make one of those uh, "culture" blogs like fictive culture or system culture to help others also dealing with stuff

and also help us out too realize we're not alone

but also i know we don't know what to go for and if we should even do that

[nuke-your-mind]

>sees someone talk about a safe system server thats very small

>joins because we have been wanting more friends online in spaces we enjoy and are trying to find nontoxic syscords

>immediately gets yelled and cursed at by a mod for asking a question and ? misunderstanding what something was or using the wrong word because its a subject we actively avoid due to heavy trauma association

[ders1tes]

syscourse stuff in tags

[naturesmorticians]

Just saw a sysmed with "no fakeclaiming (except for endos)" in their fucking pinned and I'm losing it. Like. Your just saying "dont be a bigot to me and the people i like. Be a bigot to the people i dont like instead" GIRL YOU CAN JUST NOT BE A BIGOT?
