Flopped on Twitter I’ll just die I gues

it saddens me to see rampant misogyny in the milgram fandom disguised as progressivism. the treatment of all of the female characters is frustrating. they’re either catagorized as girl bosses or the worst people to ever exist- which is common practice for fandom culture, but it’s pretty concerning when a topic like abortion is being talked about- and the first response is “oh, so this is pro life propaganda?” which completely strips yuno of her traits in favor of dulling her down to be the “girlboss” stereotype instead of a groomed teenager in a conservative society. kotoko also gets similar treatment but in a different way, which strips her of her own agency to be treated as the empowering women archetype in media when her character is much more complex and nuanced than that. then when it comes to muu and amane… yeesh; totally and utterly self explanatory. there’s a lot to say about mahiru being categorized as an evil abuser instead of a victim of… a conservative misogynistic society that caused her views to become warped in nature. it sucks, after 5 years in this fanbase; you’d think things would change.

Hear me out, but if Mikoto's writing is supposed to focus on the stress caused by toxic Japanese work culture instead of DID cases, then maybe DID shouldn't be added in at all.

multiplikitties

but is it not a social commentary on toxic Japanese work culture as an extension of (and one of the final steps within) Japanese culture as a whole? the Japanese culture that would allow a single mother to raise two children, whereupon the eldest grows up in a way that he believes he has never experienced anger because of the negative impact it would have on people [S1Q10]? the Japanese culture wherein child neglect and relational stress (such as in cases of divorce [S1Q16], high social and achievement expectations [S2Q1], enmeshed families [S1Q16], etc.) are both considered especially common causes of DID? the Japanese culture that would reward a baseline of dissociative compartmentalisation (aforementioned lack of awareness/tolerance towards one's own social missteps and what are deemed unacceptable personality traits), as it helps a person keep up with and succeed under grueling social and occupational demands? the Japanese culture where in spite of everything, pushing yourself so far that you drink straight from a bottle of vodka on your way home, to cope with the abusive job that you may eventually die doing, is a relative, non-pathologised norm?

the Japanese culture where, if someone – that hit all these low-profile risk factors and therefore experienced DID on a subclinical level (on account of maintained functioning, doing what is expected of him, because drinking and working himself to death, is not considered 'disorder') – were to suffer 100+ days of sleep deprivation while abusing substances, and then go on a murder spree in his cognitively impaired haze, may retroactively compartmentalise and dissociate from that too, and only then – as a result of the scrutiny placed on criminals and antisocials – have his dissociative internal structure drawn attention to?

i think he makes for a really interesting fictional case study, about how much suffering and abuse we sweep under the rug, up until someone explodes, and how it is often only when the person has made disorder onto society (through violence, or not being able to work) that any sort of diagnosis (and thus acknowledgement of 'some issue') is made. and especially how, in response to 'some issue' that has been indicated, we always look at the person in question as an individual and isolated problem, who – on account of the diagnosis we then apply to them –must have been dysfunctional from the start, and done what he did, because of his innate 'disorder'.

and i think DID was an especially good choice for this thought experiment, because of how clearly it encourages a common debate, around to what extent someone's behaviour is 'theirs' and to what extent it is their 'mental illness'. and it also makes me very very happy, as a pwDID, to see mikoto overcoming his lifetime of dissociation, suppression, and self-hatred that brought him to the current moment, and acknowledge that yes, at the end of the day, he did not do what he did because he was irrational or possessed, and that the parts of him that identify with his awful acts still deserve sympathy and collaboration. because while he perpetrated horrible things, it was as a whole person, for reasons that were understandable, and never should have come to be.

for someone who cant stop talking about mikoto, OH BOY am i MAD at him

#milkgram #chatstaaric #half joking but either way not serious #its not youre fault you were badly written you just didnt need be moe during it and thats what makes me mad

on a further note; with yamanka’s psych degree, i don’t think that guaranteed good writing of mikoto and it makes sense why it’d be written like that considering the institution of psychology in japan and how it’s treated versus western countries. writer’s bias could be seen, i don’t think it was necessarily out of a conscious ill-will though.

#milgram #chatstaaric #ok ok im done im done

i feel like at this point, it’s more canonically plausible that mikoto’s did was misidentified as such in milgram because of the presentation of it. in hindsight, it feels more like a temporary state of psychosis if you are to believe mikoto’s story as told- and john is more like a metaphorical manifestation of the episode itself, thus in milgram, 09 generally becomes episodic, and the circumstances make this newfound temporary ego state more of a “set” temporary identity while not being an actual alter. but that’s only if you’re to interpret mikoto’s voice drama and music video at a face level- i wonder if did was truly just a red herring. either way, poorly executed but still interesting. what a day guys.
