didn’t want to rb the post that started this, no offense but it’s not smth I want on this blog orz ;;

first off, lemme just say that all headcanons of characters that promote diversity are valid and encouraged. they can be the AU versions where maybe Yes, that character has [thing], but the official franchise may not be like that.

some official characters may be misrepresenting and spreading misinformation of the traits theyre trying to put in media, which just makes the situation worse.

that being said, my only thing is (CANON) kuku wouldn’t have DID bc as a person who knows systems of all types (endo, traumagenic, quoi, median, etc), at the most she would have is BPD, and even that’s a stretch. by trying to make her into DID rep it’s enforcing the stereotype that all alters are malicious when in fact they’re more likely an attempt to cope. (the y/ndere trope is also offensive towards practically every personality disorder anyway) also trauma doesn’t happen from rejection, which is the main issue besides the “oohh gacha world fucked her up in mysterious ways”. 

considering alter-creating disorders already have stigma from every neurotypical-dominant piece of media, this is why I’m suspicious of everything that uses DID as an explanation (sometimes an excuse, which is worse) for immoral behaviour. this is exactly why new systems are so scared of realizing the truth, because they think that it’ll end up hurting someone or themselves, when in reality that’s not often the case if they have some sort of support.

there could be some evidence towards having psych/sis or BPD symptoms because those can cause impulsive decisions, delusions, RSD, and emotional volatility, but these mostly threaten/harm the self and not others (another reason why stereotypes and the y/ndere trope fuckin sucks), as with most dissociative disorders. if there’s actual hurt from being rejected that’s RSD (rejection sensitivity syndrome) and not a symptom/result of trauma and wouldn’t lead to DID. there’s a route in the GW canon that is taking with her and I Really Really don’t appreciate it and what it means for systems. 

tl;dr: she doesn’t have DID, OSDD-1a/b, etc. and it’d be offensive to attribute her behaviour to people who have these disorders. we’re all about representation and diversity, but I’d rather have none than negative stereotype. headcanon characters as what you want, but do it in an informed manner.

feel free to discuss this in the notes or DM me, but trying to find representation for systems/alters in a y/ndere character is misinformed at best. literally one of the first steps to telling the world ur company is ableist is by having a y/ndere character lmao
