Black sys culture!

☆Anti endo space for systems of color 🤍☆

[blacksysculture]

WELCOME TO BLACK SYS CULTURE! ☆

•A space where you can talk about some of your experiences as a system of color! Send in asks relating to your experiences as an individual of color, a system, or both. You’re also free to just chat with us if you want to, all we ask is that you’re not on our dnf!

•While this blog is, of course, focused and aimed towards black systems, other people of color are allowed to send in asks too (due to the lack of any poc centered sys blogs here on tumblr)!

•Singlets are free to follow, interact, and ask questions as long as you don’t align with our DNF which is below.

•White people are ALSO allowed to interact freely, but we ask that you don’t send in any asks unless it’s something important (I.E. spreading awareness on a user or issue, respectfully correcting us on something, or asking questions to educate yourself)

•Questioning or un/self-diagnosed? You’re always welcomed here 🤍

A BIT ABOUT US! ☆

•This blog is run by a bodily 19 y/o african american system. You’ll mainly see two of our alters here; Star (💫) and Kimmy (💥).

•As a whole, we use they/it pronouns. Star uses she/they/star, and Kimmy uses any pronouns but prefers they/them the most!

•We can be a lilll bit blunt and might come off as aggressive, especially if we see some bullshit….. So if you think that might bother you, then you might want to interact with care.

•We will also be sharing things about our personal experiences or just occasionally rant and ramble about. uhm. something!!!!

•All art used in our blog graphics is official art of Kimberly from Street Fighter 6!!

(more under cut!)

DO NOT FOLLOW! ☆

•We ask that people who align with any of these in any way shape or form to not follow us or interact. Please know that we also block liberally. If we don’t vibe with you, we’re hitting that button, sorry not sorry.

i found a server for systems of color and was really excited but when I joined their rules said "we won't entertain no you/r boundaries" bc it's "harmful and dehumanizing" and I was really disappointed. No you/r is very similar to "no pronouns just use my name" boundary. I just find it silly that they think only wanting to be called by your name and preferred pronouns is "dehumanizing" to the person instead of just being objectified by calling someone "you" "hey you" all the time.

One of the reasons I don't use you/your pronouns is because white ppl & other BIPOC refuse to say or type our non-english alters names who have names from our bodies cultures. They always say "you/r" instead. Plus being autistic it is really hard for me to know who "you" is especially in a group setting, its easier if people just use my name.

Anyways yeah it was really disappointing that in a space for systems of color they didn't realize how their rule was the exact opposite of their intentions and actually asking BIPOC to not have a boundary around having their name and preferred pronouns used.

I never really understood “no you/your”, but I didn’t think that this could be why people have the boundary, so this definitely put it into perspective for me!! Thanks for that, Anon 😋

People are so quick to use an easy way out of using cultural names because it’s ""too hard""….. All the while, if it’s online, mfs are just typing it out….. That’s it……. And you can most likely SEE the name too, so there’s NO excuse to not use it!!

[blacksysculture]

There’s so many missed asks in our inbox, it genuinely might last us months omg 😭

We’ll post some more later in the day and tomorrow!!

[blacksysculture]

POC system culture is why the HELL is almost every POC mogai labels account pro/neu endo i'm actually going insane free me 😭😭😭

RIGHT LIKE OH MY COD. I think in a sense I can slightly understand because different cultures have practices that involve different states of being?? But still idk, I just don’t think it should be looped in with the concept of systems

[blacksysculture]

I feel like the Berrytree announcement about racism in the server was lackluster. I'm glad staff got pushed to address it but it just feels insufficient

What even happened??? All I know is someone said “everypup” instead of “everyberry” and people in the chat were uncomfortable with it. That’s like the only instance of racism I remember seeing in that server

[blacksysculture]

I know we disappear every few months but hi chat, I promise we still care about this account, we’ve just been going through IT for the past few months like it’s actually insane 🥹

[blacksysculture]

asian sys culture is being cursed with race related identity issues. come on. im asian american AND have introjects whose sources are different races?? does fate want me to be sad over not being asian enough for life orrrrrr

guh i understand so so hard. we used to have a lot of alters who have non-black sources especially when we were experiencing more internalized racism.

also, even if you don’t “act or sound” a certain way that’s supposed to “fit” with your ethnicity, you ARE asian (this goes for any ethnicity) enough. don’t let anyone try to demean you or dictate how you’re allowed to experience your life and your culture.

[blacksysculture]

POC sys culture is knowing you’re too black to ever be 100% safe and comfortable around white systems (or white people in general) despite some shared experiences, because white systems are still white first and the racism is rampant.

It’s just. inescapable. And it really doesn’t help that it’s pretty much rare to find other black systems especially in more socially queer sys spaces (if that makes sense). There will essentially ALWAYS be this sense of alienation until you somehow manage to find others like you.

[blacksysculture]

We have a fictive.. from an anime, that literally can't find a name Vii likes.. Would it be bad if we just kept his name?

We really don't want to stress them (&us) out anymore, because it's so hard to find a name that has a similar sound and at least a flower meaning like his source name does..

We're a black system but I don't want to appropriate or "take" (forgot the word) from anybody's culture. Sorry if this turned out to be more complainy, just needed to rant and ask a question - @queerbutaliltothelefttheleft

So I’m not Japanese, I can’t give you an official answer in regards to this, but I think you should take your time but keep finding a name to change it to.

I’ve been told multiple different things in regards to this. As far as I’ve been told, Japanese isn’t a closed culture BUT a good majority of Japanese people (at least in system spaces) have expressed discomfort in people using their language and names for things, so please keep that in mind. Again, I recommend just using a different name out of respect for the culture and language, but please ask someone who is asian!

And don’t worry, we don’t mind if you complain or rant or any of that. That’s what this space is here for! 🤍

Also, if it helps, you can look up “npt lists” here on tumblr, and you’ll see a loooot of different themes and topics with names, pronouns, and titles that match it. You can also use words that you think sound nice! We have a dude in here literally named Requiem for example,,,

[blacksysculture]

blk sys culture is being upset about the amazing digital circus racist stream bc we already have a fucking introject from TADC before we knew. (But being more upset about the racism the whole fandom is showing)

OMG SAME THAT SHIT PMO SO SO SO BAD.

Quick reminder though since I do think this is a wonderful time for the reminder, it doesn’t matter where you’re (general) introjected from, your source does not define you as a person!! Don’t let anyone make you feel bad because of your source, regardless on what the creators or even you (as in the individual you’re sourced from) did. The issue lies on if you actively support, disregard the actions of, or try to recreate the actions in your source.

i relate to this. so much. indian system here. going in for help is viewed as bad and you should be outcasted from society since you couldn't suck it up and have a positive enough mindset to battle the depression, and if you end up getting a therapist they just are so microaggressive. it just sucks how stigmatized therapy and help is in so many communties of colour

– 💭🐶

(late reply post, sorry about that!)

Yeah, it’s a similar thing in the black community too. I noticed that a loooot of different cultures are just so unwelcoming to the thought of anyone having some sort of mental health issue. In the black community, people either treat you like you’re crazy, or dismiss it saying it’s “white people shit”.

[blacksysculture]

Sophieinwonderland and sysmedsaresexist are specifically targeting anti endo blogs, not specifically poc blogs. They are also known racists

Well, I wasn’t trying to imply that they were only targeting systems of color. Although my knowledge of it is vague, I know about the things they do in the plural community. Regardless, they’re still going after sytems of color, so I think either way it’s important for people to know this kind of thing, especially when my blog’s demographic is consisting of the people they’re targeting.

[blacksysculture]

Mixed mexican and white sys culture is being so tired of not being enough, and being expected to fix things out of your (metaphorical) reach, little help from those who said they would help, and being expected to be independent, but you cant actually be independent, i mean you do virtual school and have straight As, you clean, you cook, and its never enough. Not to mention the confliction in ideals regarding love, on one side it is sacred and something that is gaurded untill ones death bed, the other i was seen as stand offish if i didn't voice my affection, theres no way to please either side

felt. this is so so incredibly felt. i don’t have too much to add, but just know that you’re not alone in this feeling, anon

[blacksysculture]

Is the friend the one called a blasian system who had just gotten out of the hospital after a suicide attempt a "whitey"?

????

I’m so stunned by this I’m not even gonna bother using the decor

But either way, I have no clue about this. Like I said in the post, they’re an acquaintance, I don’t really know them like that so I can’t really comment on what they did or didn’t do.

Also, not to say that you’re wrong or anything as I GENUINELY just don’t know, but if you’re gonna ask stuff like this, please include some kind of proof. I’m fine with dms as long as there’s a reason behind it and this is definitely a reason

[blacksysculture]

Native system culture is feeling so annoyed when systems esp with nonhuman alters talk about "spirit animals". That is closed practice!! It's okay to say you really like and relate to an animal!!! You don't have to appropriate to express yourself!

Oh really? I actually didn’t know that was a closed practice…… This is what happens when people take terms and run with it. People end up misinterpreting it’s og meaning!!!

If you have any resources you’d like to share then don’t be afraid to send them in! We love learning more about different cultures and actually being educated on it

[blacksysculture]

Small PSA!

I’ve been made aware by an acquaintance of mine (not naming just to be safe, but they’re also currently inactive either way), that there are blogs who are going around targeting and harassing systems of color. They’ve also emphasized that this is especially happening to newer blogs, so if you’re just starting a poc centered blog, or have a blog that you’re open about your ethnicity for, please be careful! Here are the two blogs that they specifically named. BLOCK. DO NOT HARRASS. I’m sharing this so you all can BLOCK them, let’s all stay civil. If you know of any other blogs who are actively harrassing others, let me know!:

Sysmedsaresexist

Sophieinwonderland

Again, please don’t go harassing them. I’ve also heard a fair amount of tales about both of these blogs so just steer clear of them regardless.

On the topic of poc awareness, that same acquaintance has also made a masterlist of black resources! Give it a look over when you get the chance. You can tell they spent a shit ton of time on it, and I forever appreciate them for taking the time to make it <3

I’ll also be putting it in my pinned post so it’ll always be easily accessible.

Black Masterlist of resources

[blacksysculture]

POC system culture is wanting to date someone of your race(s) bc you have similar lived experiences & connection to culture, but also wanting to date a system for the same reasons. But oof the dating pool for those intersections is certainly not large

Felt this. We were lucky enough to have our first partner also be a black DID sys, but now that we aren’t with them our main concern is finding another person who we feel comfortable with who can understand us both with racial issues and disorders….. it’s like. well shit. Who the fuck else is gon get us?? 😭
