#thank god we at least have fictionkin. a term which has NEVER been misinterpreted or taken as a joke by the plural community (sarcasm)

The whole thing with source separation is wild because from our perspective it came out of nowhere. Then all of a sudden you have people saying "fictives aren't their source" or "source separation is important" like they're universal truths. As with the community went from "don't treat fictives like fictional characters" and just took it several steps to the extreme.

Also the whole thing of assuming "fictive = introject". It started with soulbonds, who as a group doesn't really have much "source separation". Plus the fact that source wasn't even a system term, it's a fictionkin term that got shared with the plural community.

I guess the same thing happened with "system accountability" where the whole community latched onto a buzzword and started treating it like a universal set of rules every system much follow.

Some of it feels to me too like the "actually identifying as a fictional character is crazy" bit with anti-kin and kff, or "if you identify as a fictional character that's a delusion/a DA/IRL".
