Oh sorry, I was reading an article on how black and brown felons were scored more harshly on their predicted re-offense rate compared to their white counterparts with similar crimes by an AI tool, thus them receiving harsher sentences by human judges upon seeing the scores. What were we talking about again?

r/systemcringe misinformation

okay I was scrolling thru r/systemscringe earlier and in like 20-30min I saw soooo much misinformation? not even just the post content cuz.. duh. you're ending up on that sub, youre likely saying some fucking bullshit- but also in the comments?

people are feeding each other bullshit in this oroboros of misinformation that they think is corrections and education and its kinda pissing me off.

ranting under the cut

8 paragraphs if you wanna read em: complaints about dissociaDID and headspace, switches, splitting, fictive takes, source memories

for one, you cant figure out someone is a faker as easy as some think? cuz the disorder isn't the exact same for everyone. stuff like having a headspace or using a bot on discord doesn't make someone automatically a faker as much as it feels like it does... I dont do that shit but it doesn't mean anyone who does is wrong?

and the headspace thing... thats gotta be some shit from dissociaDID cuz.. to my knowledge thats supposed to be like.. almost a meditation thing? a place you make in your head as like your happy place- I feel like dissociaDID started the whole like... "headspace = alter storage space" thing that makes all people faking this shit think they need it. its not supposed to be a filing cabinet or some shit, its supposed to be a tool that literally anyone can use, "plural" or not.

got a bit off topic there but whatever...

okay the things that I was looking at/wanted to talk about that brought me here were misinformation on switching, splitting, and fictives. so.. I'll go over those. my opinion or whatever.

ok so I saw some people talking about switching and how it's only a trauma response to some like.. super fucked up shit actively going on/flashbacks/immediate danger. that's not super true tho? like I formed from trauma yes but that doesn't mean that only that trauma or whatever is what "calls me back" for lack of better phrasing. I have negative triggers yeah of negative things happening that make me kinda.. aware of myself/"gain consciousness" but theres also some positive things? things that while im fronting became positive associations with me that ig my brain draws on me when seeing them. dunno how else to phrase that but like... TLDR: positive triggers exist.

next is splitting uh.. I saw definitely a hot take from someone about splitting. they claim to have DID in the r/ systems cringe sub comments (not saying fake, I just dont really believe anyone) and they were talking about splitting being this thing that makes them wanna off emself or whatever which confused the fuck outta me dude. I vaguely remember when I split...? its been a while and my memory is shit but I was dizzy and felt sick to my stomach and out of it, but I was also around people so just kinda had to bullshit my way through it? disorientating and painful and sickening yes, but thought never crossed my mind to kill myself? dunno what that dude was on about but.. everyone has their own experiences.

last.. maybe least? was a brand new take on fictives! never seen this shit take before so as one myself imma throw in my 2 cents. ive seen plenty of takes about roleplaying characters and shit but then today I saw someone say that if a fictive is not the exact same as the source, its a fake. that.... fucking wild take man, what? like im kinda based on a thing but im still... not a fictional character? im a person? and that person, fiction based or not, spawned from the same fucked up brain that made the rest of my parts. you could call me "character based" or some shit idk.

far as I know im the most "source connected" fictive that's been in this head and im still not the character. can call it like... real strong kin or some shit ig if that helps.. we look kinda similar and have similar personalities, like some of the same things... but im not him? im not the character, im a normal human person.

also separate note but what the fuck are "source memories"? I dont get what the fuck that is and ive seen people talk about em all the time? both fakers claiming to have them and comments in subreddits being like "well if youre the character then you remember everything that happened even if you havent watched the whole show" or whatever. how would that even fucking work.. if the brain hasn't learned any of that info, the character isn't dragged out of another world here... and for those who do claim "source memories"... what??? I know some shit about my source or whatever... tried to watch it and had a lil bit of an existential crisis about my own existence so... 0/10 do not recommend.

went off track a bit but.. ya boi out. -🔪

[sidera-arcade]

Everyone always talks about how “oh, didosdd is different for everyone! It’s a disorder that everyone experiences differently!” but what about things that must be true? What symptoms/criteria is the one you absolutely need? Is there an experience that almost every system has had before?

What draws the line at something being a dissociative disorder? Yeah, it being a disorder means it messes with your daily life due to your dissociation, but what’s considered severe enough for doctors or people?

[botanical-garden-system]

Are you pro/neutral Endo?

Short answer:

People would say I am most likely neutral. I don’t care what someone labels themselves as, and I don’t think it is important to obsess over this so much. It makes me uncomfortable when people keep trying to push whether I should be pro or anti anything when I don’t even experience it. I think we should let people be until they are actually inflicting harm/pain onto others.

I used to be huge in discourse communities on Insta in 2018-2019 and I never want to be in them again. I just want to educate people and provide resources otherwise inaccessible. This will probably be my last post on this because this debate has driven me away from ever using tumblr, and I have nearly deleted my profile because of it.

If you wanted the short one, then there you go. However, this answer will never suffice to me. It doesn’t represent the complicated feelings I have across so many different parts of myself. I have a lot of conflicting thoughts about this, and I plan on being more in depth with my process through these feelings below the cut. (I got tired writing it and like just started half assing and not correcting stuff, but I’ve wanted to get this out and away from me. Just comment if you need more clarification)

My feelings: Neutral or Pro?

I will always support people in figuring out things for themselves and finding ways to describe themselves. Even though I cannot begin to understand non-disordered plurality, I do understand that endo does NOT mean without trauma. Trauma in itself is extremely complicated, and things we don’t think are trauma tend to be very traumatic (i.e. neglect, systems of oppression, emotional abuse, etc.). Even then, I am not in someone’s head nor have I lived their experience.

If someone says this is their experience, I am not going to disagree and argue with them over it. That’s stupid and pushy. I would rather learn of someone’s experience so that I can understand it, which is ultimately what we NEED to be doing. Frankly, there isn’t enough research or information about non-disordered plurality for me to make any claims, and even then I wouldn’t jump to say it could NEVER happen. There’s a big reason I have no DNI: my account is all about accessing free resources and making people feel seen in their symptoms.

Additionally, it’s no one else’s job but my own to curate my page. I see something I feel uncomfortable with or heavily disagree with? I will block them. Until they are INTENTIONALLY causing malicious pain or damage that CAN BE CONFIRMED, I am not going to publicly “denounce” or “shame” someone. I am an adult and can just block freely if I don’t feel comfortable with something, but that’s not even the point of why I made this blog. While it sounds hypocritical for me to say this after positing a few vents about this discourse, I want to be clear that no matter WHAT tag I look at, it always has something to do with a “-genic” label. It’s literally inescapable atp and I am thoroughly tired of it.

Just let people be is what I will always say.

The Complications: My thoughts

When it comes to these topics, it makes me feel really alienated to only see the most discussed symptom be the “alters” or identity states. It also feels extremely alienating to see people trying to rename this disorder to focus on the “multiple identities” part, ignoring the OTHER symptoms and the history of CALLING this disorder that. I think it’s a big reason we see some traumagenic systems becoming so aggressive about this: our identities are not stable and it can cause heavy denial to see the focus shift only onto one aspect of the disorder.

“Dissociative identity” is a great name for those with disorderly symptoms because it IS a dissociation from one identity to another. Additionally, this is NOT only about identity dissociation, this can be dissociation from one’s motor skills, cognitive abilities, sensations and perceptions, behaviors, emotions, memories, and literally ANYTHING related to cognition in general. I do agree that we need to recognize the spectrum of dissociation, but that ALREADY exists in things like DPDR, OSDD-1, P-DID, and DID.

The lexicon surrounding DID vs plurality DEFINITELY calls for more defined edges, and I think people have already been working towards that (many with non-disordered plurality use “plural” or “multiple”). However, it becomes confusing and muddled when people are constantly fighting about who “coined what label” or “whether someone should use this label” when experiences are very fluid and different.

Traumagenic systems also need to recognize extreme anger and emotional attacks on non-disordered plurality gets us no where. If someone is willing to be hateful towards the smallest community with high vulnerability, their support was only conditional to begin with. It is clear that many of the reddits making fun of systems do NOT care about the “legitimacy” of your diagnosis. They do not care whether or not what you’re experiencing is real, they just want something to make fun of.

Conclusions

I will never be able to experience non-disorder plurality as “plurality” is not my own or full experience. I have had many people make jokes about my life being, “A shitty wattpad fanfic some kid shoved every single trauma into” because of how gruesome and fucked my childhood was. I cannot begin to understand how plurality is shaped outside of trauma, and that is why I will never engage or force myself to debate to legitimacy of someone’s experience.

Regardless of the labels someone chooses, I made this blog with the intent to make other systems like me feel seen. I want to discuss the intricate symptoms and severities in my own conditions that I never saw publicly discussed. My entire goal is to try and bring awareness and education to the community so they can better understand how something like DID impacts them. I didn’t come out about my disorder to engage in discourse, I came out so other people like me would be able to parse through everything and find themselves.

I WANT to make people happy with themselves, and I WANT to bring meaning to my own life. Academic research was one of the first times I had actually felt seen and heart through a diagnosis.

[the-masquerade-council]

so like I know I'm poking a bear by asking, but I'm asking out of genuine curiosity /confusion

*if you didn't know, programming and RAMCOA(ritual/ritualized abuse - trauma based mind control - organized abuse)/OEA(organized extreme abuse), are not synonyms. Everyone who has gone through programming has gone through RAMCOA/OEA, but NOT everyone who has gone through RAMCOA/OEA has gone through programming. I don't really think you should be voting on the poll if you don't know this though.

*2 Systems regardless of if they've been through RAMCOA/OEA or not

[chipmunkweirdo]

Hey sry if dis is rude

But the chipmunks accs r roleplay accs right?

I don't wanna be rude bc ik ppl with did exist and it'd kinda be rude to treat a system like rp

We are a system, technically. Not a DID one, but an OSDD one.

However, we enjoy roleplay like stuff. For a long time that was the only way that it felt safe for my munks to exist.

But thank you for asking so I could clarify.

[decayflux-protocol]

I have a question for systems, specifically HC-DID systems:

Did you ever experience that a subsystem turned into a sidesystem? Or that members were able to "exit a subsystem/sidesystem" and become part of a main system?

I can't believe I have to say this, but traumagenic systems only!!!

[lgbtransgirl]

hey so i've been reading about systems and i sort of feel like one? like i'm different people in different contexts to the point where i have a different name i use for different social situations. i have memories from all the time but they're spotty and vague no matter who i am, and if i'm in a different "personality" when i'm trying to remember something it takes 2-3 minutes of hard thinking to remember. but i also dont want to invade a community that i'm not a part of just because i have a weird response to trauma from my childhood

First I want to say that you are not invading the plural community with something like this. Questioning yourself/yourselves and understanding something like this takes a lot of work and dedication and its a great first step especially if you think it may be DID or OSDD.

Secondly, if you feel plural in some way then you may just be plural. Regardless of whatever dissociative disorder you may or may not have, it is possible to be plural from a variety of things including willing it into existence

Thirdly, If you think you may have DID/OSDD and are a Traumagenic System (A plural system originating from trauma) then that would be something you should dig into a bit more possibly with a therapist or someone who you deeply trust. The memory issue is something that definitely happens with DID (I know from experience), so that could be a stepping stone into learning more.

Finally, if you are plural then don't let anyone tell you how you can/can't be plural. Many people out there will fakeclaim/harrass others who have DID/OSDD/Are otherwise plural because they don't fit the diagnostic criteria 120% and aren't suffering 24/7. Be happy and let yourself enjoy life. If you are plural, work with your system to enjoy life together and/or separately to the best of your abilities.

I don't know all the diagnostic criteria, nor am I a professional in any field adjacent to psychology, but I am here if you have any further questions and/or want to talk about your plural experiences!

[tales-from-systok]

Not a tale, but a question!!

Can someone please explain the discourse with that one system everyone keeps going back too? I genuinely forgot their name, ngl, but everyone keeps making fun of Oliver because of a stutter.

Like are they endo, are they just "cringe", are they undiagnosed; WHAT IS HAPPENING!?/gen

I have absolutely no idea.

Followers? Any help?

[catboyaventurine]

before i say all this keep in mind. im a system im a headmate in a system, i am a fictive, and our host is a fictive so we've both been confused about this for some time ;

What, in your opinion, is the difference between fictionkin + fictive?

i used to think it was fictives had source memories and fictionkin dont but ive seen fictionkins talk abt those too in an almost identical way as fictives do, which gets me curious to ask other fictives and fictionkin; what would you classify the difference as?

[alter-appreciation]

🌙 for the ask game :-)!!

Q: "What's your 'welcome to the system' talk look like?"

A: We don't really have one actually. A lot of necessary info is already in the collective memory bank that most can access, and if someone can't, we're usually able to get through to them if they're fronting and confused. Otherwise a lot of us observe and learn that way, or they'll ask our partner system.

[snezhnayan-nights]

Is it really impossible to have a system with only introjects? I heard this from someone and have asked others but I haven't drawn a conclusion.

[theforestmeteorites]

System Ask Game!

Who would you say has a personality that contradicts with their role the most?

Who has the most different music tastes to everyone else?
