hi— a quick update

i've been having a decent time at living and working recently, but due to trauma processing and memories starting to come up more, i'm backing off from sysblr. part of this is due to, you guessed it, DID, my opinion on certain topics can rapidly change. this also can make old posts feel embarrassing really fast. i'm considering starting a more personal DID-as-an-appetizer account. i also want to experiment more with not being *as* anonymous. if you want to follow, just ask!

I don't know how to phrase this in a different way so before you come at me I'm gunna need y'all to read the post.

If fake claiming will be detrimentally damaging to your mental health, you shouldn't post about your disorder.

STICK WITH ME STICK WITH ME I'M NOT BLAMING PEOPLE FOR BEING FAKECLAIMED

Genuinely as advice, don't post publicly about information that could be used against you in a way that will damage you. It's similar to why you shouldn't post about your insecurities or triggers. People will use it against you. This includes things like disorders. If you make it known that fake claiming causes you distress, there's going to be someone out there who just does it for fun.

It's okay to be bothered by fake claiming. I'm not blaming you for being fake claimed if you have been on social media before. Something more people need to understand is that the internet will never be a safe space, and that's not your fault but it's important to remember that when you're posting information that could be used to hurt you.

If someone saying you're lying about your disorder will cause you to spiral into denial, then keep that as a close friends only subject. If it just mildly upsets you then don't post about the fact it upsets you. If it doesn't bother you at all then awesome.

Put your safety and wellbeing before the internet. Stay safe y'all.

this is actually just statistical error. the average millennial has $0 in savings. Monaeus Billiam Gates III, who lives at 432 Park Avenue & eats over 10,000 gold leaf donuts each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

I know I've said this a hundred times but if you're worried about palestinian fundraisers being scams at least consider donating to MSF. It's a highly reputable organization which has broken its long-standing neutrality to denounce Israel in front of the UN. Here's all the aid MSF is providing to Gazans (documentation available in multiple languages).

Hello, I was wondering if u could tell me more about the DID youtube stuff and the stuff with DissociaDID, I don't know a lick of any of that, I've only rlly watched The Entropy System, The Rings System and some of DissociaDID's educational videos fairly recently (still new to the online OSDDID community in general), all I've heard is that DissociaDID is anti-endo?

(I use DissociaDID to refer to the system as a whole. They don't have another updated system name that I am aware of.)

Hi, two people brought up something like this in my inbox, and it's worth clarifying. My point was unclear, and I'll do my best to clarify now. In my eyes, DissociaDID has come under a lot of scrunity for concerns that are valid but overblown, standards that others are not held to, ableism/fakeclaiming, and sometimes claims that are bordering on conspiracy. Unfortunately, I was pretty up-to-date on the situation, so I'll make an outline of things people were upset about.

Outdated

- Using racial terms to describe a darker-skinned alter, Nadia, when the body is white. Of my knowledge, this has not happened since. (I am white, so I can't police if you forgive them or not. This is just context.)

- Engagement with Team Piñata*. They're no longer together. End of.

- Overstating their qualifications. DissociaDID no longer states any qualifications other than being a system that does research, basically. Before, it sounded almost like they were claiming to be a mental health professional.

- They partnered with BetterHelp** at one point. They never gave a statement, but they haven't promoted it since.

Disproven/Clarified

- DissociaDID has used *very* outdated studies to support points in their older videos. This is frowned upon in scientific research, where sources become less accurate very quickly (Rule of thumb is use studies no greater than 20 years old). DissociaDID has previously referenced a study from 1902, at worst.

- Many criticise DissociaDID for coming back to YouTube just when their monetization is about to run out.

- Can handle criticism very poorly at times, which people took an issue with, especially when they were proporting themselves as mental health experts.

- Brought a flood of people to the DID community, negative attention included. Many DID YouTubers stopped posting due to the negative attention the DID community received. DissociaDID did not personally cause this, as far as I can tell.

- Diagnosis at Pottergate Center: Even if that diagnosis wasn't valid, they were also diagnosed through the NHS. (Diagnosis is sometimes referred to in ways other than pencil-and-paper diagnosis, too.)

Not sure, but hasn't come up

- Treatment of various friends in the DID community such as Bobo & Co.

General dislike (Up to you)

- Many say they are "sensationalizing" DID, due to their florid presentation (This may also be paired with fakeclaiming)

- Mara's TikTok has come under fire for posting more suggestive content. Soren stands by her right to do so, and checks it before it is posted.

Borderline conspiracy and fakeclaiming

- One system member interacted with a minor on a livestream in a somewhat suggestive manner. (Their account says minors DNI, but people argue they should have been more mindful.)

- Many people get an odd vibe from their content, since it is so polished, and argue that it doesn't reflect the reality of DID since it's so pristine.

- Some find it very odd that they advertise their Patreon with having BTS footage of them dissociating/switching.

- Some people allege DissociaDID made up her alters after reading a certain book regarding programming. Some roles/alter names/inner world details lined up.

*Team Piñata was exposed for drawing minors in inappropriate situations and possibly doing commissions of this content.

- Since DissociaDID has previously mentioned RAMCOA (or a similar term), people who believe that that phrasing is antisemitic, conspiritorial, and/or completely fake don't believe that she is a valid source of DID information

- DissociaDID has been accused of copying their trauma from other systems. The foundation of this theory rests on them malingering DID.

- (Outdated also) People used to theorize Team Piñata and DissociaDID never broke up. It has been a long time since then, and DissociaDID doesn't even mention them by name anymore.

- DissociaDID has been fighting a court battle since 2020 or so and has linked to their CrowdJustice page for a while. People theorized that they were taking the money for themselves instead. DissociaDID has stated that the funds go directly to lawyers and never enter their hands.

**BetterHelp has been criticized for its lack of quality control, especially surrounding uncertified "therapists" to conduct therapy through their service and the unprofessional behavior of therapists using the service.

So that's what I can recall at the moment. Five of the issues are up to personal opinion. Personally, I think DissociaDID has had problems but has a magnifying glass on their behavior for years. If you don't like them, please just leave them alone.

I have a question:

I do not intend this to mean how some conservatives make agreeing trans people exist and are, in fact, their gender is propaganda. I mean this in the sense that most of the notable DID content creators on YouTube have the same takes for things such as the McLean controversy (which is notable to me, since I agree more with The Infinity System, which is the opposing opinion).

Generally, I think the DID community has decided DissociaDID is the enemy, and no one else ever has any problems /s If anyone is interested I'll probably end up making another random DID Content Manifesto because I am a fast and furious typer with lots of opinions. I wanna know if y'all have any strong opinions on this, though.

Having a system that is really good at cracking jokes comes at a cost. I have professional roasters in my head at all times.

For background, I missed the bus to get home earlier. I had to run across a highway like a maniac in order to pick up the bus on the other end of the loop. We made it home, but the adrenaline rush remained until we got home.

Later, I started chatting with a protector. I was surprised he's still around (haven't heard from him in a bit) and he was like "Yeah, I'm not needed much externally anymore, unless you miss the bus and have to chase it or something." HEY—
