It really does say a lot about how romanticized and theatricized alters are online when people go into denial or feel isolated for displaying the most textbook DID/OSDD symptoms.
Not knowing who's fronting, not knowing how many alters you have, not knowing when you switch, not knowing alters' names or why they formed, alters not having names, having no internal world or a very vague one, having no internal communication, struggling with external communication, experiencing alters as different overlapping states of self instead of separate people, hell even just experiencing amnesia.
These are all extremely common symptoms of DID/OSDD, especially when you're untreated or early in treatment. And yet they're all common reasons for why people feel like they don't belong in this community, because the reality of this disorder somehow doesn't conform to the online expectation.
How bad is the state of CDD awareness, even among those who proclaim to have it, that the most common manifestations of DID/OSDD are so underdiscussed that the majority of people with these conditions cannot find understanding even in a community meant for their disorder? When anything that doesn't play into the "alters are separate people and friends in your head" narrative is ignored and erased?
I FUCKING HATE WHEN PEOPLE IGNORE DISSOCIATION AS A SYMPTOM. NO IT DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN DID. YES THERE ARE OTHER DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS, BUT ALSO YOU DONT ALWAYS NEED TO HAVE A DISORDER. NO YOU DON'T HAVE DID BECAUSE YOU DISSOCIATED ONCE. FUCK. OFF.

I have this mutual. And I love this mutual dearly. But, unfortunately, they perpetuate quite a few ableist beliefs, and I do not know how or if I should correct them. I do not want to block this mutual, but I may have to. Thoughts?

As a csa victim, i will forever hate antis who pull the “we can care about two things at once :/“ card in response to victims saying irl abuse is 10000x more important than lolisho content
You cannot claim to care about victims when you are looking directly at victims & saying “ur abuse is just as harmful to you as hentai is to society”
You have the ability to use whatever time you spend fighting lolisho media to advocate for & protect actual victims, but you aren’t. You are telling people on the internet you think they’re just as bad as rapists because they potentially like hentai
because umm i feel i’ve offended to and i’ve been meaning to apologize for months but i couldn’t decide weather to dm you or send an ask and i don’t know what to say and im just overall very sorry and i hope you can forgive me but i understand if you can’t i just want to make sure you know that i know i fucked up and i’m sorry and i didn’t mean to offend you or anyone else im sorry
w what. Hun I have the memory of a bumblebee and the hotheadedness of an alligator on cocaine. I don't know what I was mad at you for but it probably wasn't something I should've been
You're good, alright? The water is so far under the bridge I forgot it was there
not many people know this but when talking about your multiple pronoun-using friend you build up a combo meter for every subsequent unique pronoun you use
