Step 3: profit?? Please tell me there's at least profit

i think more people should hc their favorite characters as having DID. as a treat. and more people should give their ocs DID. and more people should make world's most heavyhanded system allegories. and we should have systems who r respected as people n systems who get to be things other than shock villains and systems who get to be systems casually and systems for whom its a huge part of their story and systems whos plurality affects how they interact with The Lore in a way that isnt weird as hell about them. amen. obligatory disclaimer that i know not all systems have DID and vice versa. amen

when will pro endos learn that when they break our dni, we're just gonna instantly block them. we aren't clicking your links. we aren't putting any of our time and effort into diving down your rabbit hole of misinformation and lies.

you can't be a system without trauma, deal with it.

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

Woaw syscourse just gets weirder and weirder...

[notreallyan-y]

we don't do syscourse but i'll just say, the "BAH writers should take responsibility for what BAH-sourced alters do" is like...

what?

BAH is literally just writing out a template for people to introject from. a lot of these templates are based on pre-existing fictional characters, so i ask... how is this different in any way from someone writing a book that plural people enjoy?

do the authors of your favorite TV shows need to take responsibility because someone else introjected the show's villains?

does someone who posted fun art of their OCs need to apologize because someone got an alter based on one of the antagonist?

what is so special about BAH specifically? why is it such a big deal?

[wondercourse]

y'know what a big pet peeve of mine is?

the phrase "this isn't for you" appended to "pro-/endos dni" on posts about trauma. usually trauma recovery. not necessarily about CDDs (though i'll get into why that's ALSO fucked up in a bit), but just about trauma in general.

i am a big believer in curating your space. i curate mine; i don't like how aggressive syscourse tends to be, so i don't engage in it in the way people may expect me to with my username being "wondercourse" lol. i don't really care what "side" they're on, what matters to me is how they treat others. it is okay for you to set boundaries surrounding your interactions with others, including those you don't want to interact with. i'm not saying you shouldn't do what you need to do to feel comfortable in your space.

but why not leave it at "dni" (this is also about the "fuck off" tag but that's a whole different conversation)? why append "this isn't for you"?

that implies that whatever kind words you said in that post, whatever encouragement you wanted to give, whatever "positive" thing you were trying to do, isn't deserved by the people you don't like.

even if someone who identifies as endogenic is a trauma survivor, "this post isn't for you".

even if they're person with a CDD who happens to "believe in" and/or support people who identify as endogenic, "this post isn't for you".

if you are "wrong" in someone's eyes, "this post isn't for you".

honestly, to me, it minimizes the words. they're not actually for all trauma survivors. they're not for all people with CDDs. they're for the ones that you find palatable. and that's...uncomfortable, to put it as kindly as i can.

and it's so unnecessary. it is not equivalent to just saying "dni". you are NOT the arbiter of what people deserve or don't, especially when it comes to trauma support/solidarity.

and maybe this is just me misinterpreting the phrase! but it just makes me skin crawl. like idk if there's really a way to justify it that would make me go "oh, i get it" because i don't (but i'm open to discussing it). why not treat each other as human beings deserving of respect and healing?

anyway, this has been a long enough post. i'm tired. i don't know if this even bothers anyone else. but it bugs the shit out of me.

oh, i was going to keep this in the tags, but this is something i want people to see: i mostly see this with people who identify with being anti-endo. but if you identify as pro-/endo and you do this "this isn't for you" thing on general positivity/recovery posts, then this is also about you. and if you don't, then it's not lol.

Hot take take, syscourse is not activism

[space-sabotage]

damn, who knew being anti-endo would be on the same level as being racist or transphobic?

pack it up poc and transgender systems, the endos are taking you too

[chaos-in-one]

Reminding y'all AGAIN not to call traumagenic systems who aren't anti endo, endogenic, because apparently the message did not get through the first time

When you do that, you are fakeclaiming the systems trauma. You are letting them know you do not believe that their trauma actually caused them to be a system.

Fucking. Stop it.

“We’ve seen the harm they can cause.”

Genuinely what harm. They’ve created more acceptance of a stigmatized mental health condition. Most of the big resources for plurality are made for/run by pro endos. I’d argue endogenic systems and their supporters have done more for plurality as a whole than any sysmed or anti-endo

-The CDD systems who were treated like shit by endos because they believe they're "better than us" (eg. CDD systems getting banned for being traumagenic) ((Yes that does actually happen))

-The many CDD systems who were in pro-endo spaces at some point and had people repeatedly try to convince them they were endo in some way even though they were Most Definitely Not

-Gateway "systems" using the idea of "system travel" to manipulate systems

-Endos trying to get into CDD only spaces (I'm a syscord mod, I've seen this shit happen)

-The entirety of the natural multiples community, which the endo community spawned from

-Rampant misinformation about a variety of system things (So much headspace misinformation, the idea that alters can "die", the idea that anything a CDD system experiences an endo can too ((Yes, I have legitimately heard actual endos say this)) people claiming that "tulpamancers" know a hell of a lot more than they actually do, the list goes on)

-Just general anti-traumagen rhetoric, tons of subtle jabs at us whether they realize they're doing it or not (eg. "My experiences aren't any less valid just because you're miserable and I'm not)

-Just the entire idea of system travel (Aside from sidesystem hopping, which did not originate from endos and is a legitimate thing)

-Many endos calling any CDD system "sysmeds"

-The term "traumascum" (Genuinely fucking vile)

And the list goes on and on and on. Anyone else feel free to add on to this list if you think of anything else.

People on the internet really need to realize that they're not the only person who exists in the world, oh you have dissociative identity disorder? that's cool but just because you have did doesn't mean you automatically know everything about everyone who also has dissociative identity disorder.

People have commborid disorders, people were raised differently, there's outside sources that are going to affect how people act. And if you misunderstood something and reach a negative conclusion? That's your fault, that's not the original posters - not everything is going to be personally catered towards you.

I am autistic and have OCPD. My mind genuinely speaks another language and sometimes things get lost in translation, and especially with the fact syscringe targets larger system blogs I am always paranoid my words will be misunderstood and taken out of context. Of course I'll try my best but at the end of the day it is not my responsibility to mask my words to be neurotypical friendly - this is my blog and if you don't understand? it's your responsibility to add a comment and ask.

Not everything on Tumblr is catered towards you, not everyone is going to act like you and especially!! in a space where autistic people are more prevalent you'd think people would understand that not everything is about them! And not everything is going to be catered to them! I'm begging some of y'all to please broaden your horizons and realize other people have different experiences and perspectives.

You know. Everyone is absolutely right. The only way to hold people accountable for The Bad Things (all of which are incredibly bad and never have any catalysts, the person is always just Irrevocably Evil and I will not address the problems that led them to be that way because there are none) is to call them out publicly, shamefully, and constantly, spending all of my time monitoring them to ensure they change.

This will surely make them more likely to change, right?

I say this sarcastic kinda hate filled post from the position of someone who has monitored “the bad blogs” (I.e. blogs who personally trigger me or who outright hate me and spread lies about me) religiously, just to brace myself for what they said.

Simply put, callout culture does not change people. Shame does not change people.

Fucking stop it already.

[oopsallsyscourse]

Here's your reminder that tumblr activism (which all of syscourse is) is not real activism. If you want to make real change in the world you gotta get out there and do things, not just post on social media.

This isn't to say every system needs to be doing it (oh god no) or that it's not important to some people (we wouldn't be here if it wasn't) but to compare it to be going out there enacting real change is more than a little insulting.
