PLURALPUNK V.2

Hey there! We're the original coiners of pluralpunk. We first coined this in 2020, and never expected it to get the attention it did. That being said, here's a new post for you all & a flag re-design.

As usual, the full information will always be available on the official carrd, linked in our description. Please link there when explaining what pluralpunk is or uploading it to wikis, since it's the most permanent place to find that information!

(If anyone can add image descriptions, it would be greatly appreciated.)

What is pluralpunk?

Pluralpunk (or plurpunk) is a movement that focuses on embracing one’s plurality and all of its intricacies in a radically accepting way as well as challenging the accepted “norms” of plurality within their own system and identity.

Pluralpunk is:

The rejection of the notion that plurality is inherently unhealthy/a disorder or that a system needs to be “cured” in order to lead a fulfilling life.

Acknowledgement that there is nothing inherently “wrong” with plurality and it is just another way to exist.

Acknowledgement that some may not choose to label their origins or system type while respecting the ones that do.

Freedom to do whatever they please with their system identity, including but not limited to: the name of the system, the names of headmates, subsystems, etc., pronouns, identity labels, and headmate origins.

Radical acceptance and inclusivity of any and all plural experiences - as long as those experiences are not directly harmful.

Inherently accepting, inclusive, and welcoming of endogenic, created, xeno-originated, spiritual, metaphysical, and other system types.

Inherently accepting of disordered and medical systems, including programmed/hc-DID systems, p-DID systems, systems with an ambiguous, pending, or unofficial diagnostic status, and systems with CDDs that are less visible in the community such as OSDD-1a and UDD (if they wish to consider themselves plural).

Italics are all new additions. These are not the only things pluralpunk can be - we invite you to make your own meaning, keeping in mind that is inherently inclusive and striving for a better future for all plurals.

Who is pluralpunk for?

Anyone can use this label, we just ask that you don’t use it to attack others and are respectful of others’ choices regarding their system!

This label was not intended for anti-endogenics, gatekeepers of any kind, radqueers, or other harmful individuals or groups. Your beliefs are antithetical to any punk subculture. While we cannot stop you, know that we do not approve or support anyone using pluralpunk to be exclusionary or harmful.

Fuck it. Go have fun with your system. People tell you that you're roleplaying because you have odd/cringe experiences? Fuck them. Your experiences are real. And regardless, roleplay is available to everyone and is a fun past time, even if you ARE roleplaying about your system. Go system hop, date your headmates, get overt with it, obsess about interests (which if you're an introject, may be yourself). Life is too short to be worried about haters hating on you. What are they gonna do? Send a hate anon? Ohh I'm so scared~

[vendingmachinecoven]

see, because of how systems are expected to still act like a singular person, we're very used to alters not really being percieved or cared about on an individual level? and i mean, whatever. but now, because of that, any attempt to interact with a specific alter will make us love you forever. so be warned

onwards, comrades

In these annoying times, for everyone who struggles with doomscrolling syscourse and doubting themselves:

Created systems/plurals, you're valid!

Plurality created intentionally is valid!

Plurality created unintentionally, by accident, is valid!

Plurality created to fight loneliness is valid!

Plurality created to help with functioning is valid!

And also...

People whose created plurality harmed/harms them, I see you.

People who feel regret because of created plurality, I see you.

People who have negative experience with created plurality, I see you.

I hope all of you have a good day. I hope all of you can find what's better for you.

if life is meaningless, then isn't it so wonderful that we can create the meaning of our lives? creating our own happiness and expressing ourselves in our each unique way.

the beautiful prospect of creating meaning and defining happiness for yourself, how wonderful it is.

[vendingmachinecoven]

I hate when I see someone that seems cool and they're literally anti endo systems. I'm not even a system and that bothers me.

By the way: anti endos FUCK OFF this page.

people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.

It’s kinda weird, realizing that we actually have to ACCEPT being a system and the weirdness of it

Part of recovery (our goal is functional multiplicity btwww) is accepting the headmates, accepting that they are there and that you can’t just ignore them

It’s not enough for us to be silly with it and make jokes, we have to ACCEPT them >_>

Oughhieiieiee it’s been over a year since our sys-covery and we still have so much basic stuff to work on :(((( criees /silly

being a system and also being autistic is super funny because like you can so clearly tell what a system's special interest is by looking at how many fictives from that source they have

[vendingmachinecoven]

introject heavy culture is making friends with people in fandoms you have introjects from and then feeling weird when you tell them your name
