Hmmm. Considering making a “marik ishtar haters dni” banner. Usually don’t really Do dnis but this particular trend is annoying me somewhat

EDIT: this is now my pinned post until I get a banner done. Welcome to the thunderdome guys

Please feel free to delete if this perspective isn't wanted. I studied psychology (only to a BS level, no specific classes related to DID, although I've done continuing education stuff with it; not a doctor nor an expert; have a family member who may or may not have DID, long story). I'll use language that I learned in psych literature which may not be accurate to the terms used in advocacy communities today, sorry about that. I am not aware of them being offensive but will check the comments on this post for feedback if it's published.

Disclaimers out of the way -

The way I see yugioh's portrayal of DID with Malik is def inaccurate for a lot of reasons (remember it was written in the 90s by an artist), but when I think of that, the first thing I think of is the "only one alter" thing. A lot of media does this (consider the infamous Sybil). The portrayal of it being a dissociative disorder in response to abuse is not something you do tend to see though. Of course the ending where Yami Malik is destroyed contradicts my understanding of modern therapy practice, which is to help alters live together heathily.

Imo it may be better to read Yami Malik as an aspect of Malik's mental health influenced both by DID and the corrupting dark powers of the Rod. I know that's a bit of a copout but I really think that, within the narrative, if everything else was the same but the Rod wasn't there, things would have developed much differently. You could argue that Malik would still have DID but maybe not violently (beyond what he did to his father in self defense).

But yugioh's most powerful statement on DID to me isn't about Malik at all. When Yuugi comes out to his friends as having another self inside of him, no one has ANY suspicion that there are supernatural forces at play. Their reactions of unconditional acceptance and cheering him on, assuring him that they'll support him no matter what, when Yuugi expected them to just ditch him. I cry every time.

If you just want that section of the manga, I can try to find that for you.

ty for sending this in, i do like how immediately accepting everyone is to yugi when he tells them abt yami, i think it really lends itself to the theme of friendship and accepting everyone for who they are which encompasses ygo,, this was very informative to read, tysm

sorry to be yugiposting again but the new soulburner "alt style" thing opens up SO MANY DOORS FOR CHARACTERS OML

now i know how theyre planning on implementing nasch and marin lol but also, this means we could get like. a zane in his academy outfit who's more focused on solely cyber dragons than cyberdarks or an alt style of antinomy thats just actually bruno focusing on the new playstyle of t.g.s with glaive blaster and making them all machines hell, we could get an alt style of sera in her transcend game alter ego masked outfit THE POSSIBILITIES ARE fairly limited but still interesting to consider and hope for

Oh yeah Hanako and Tsukasa do everything that they do for the sake of others and their happiness, except they have very convoluted perceptions of what makes people happy
