I feel like a lot of polymind hates stems from the fact people are just refusing to actually listen, they stubbornly decided they hate it and are too prideful to admit they may have been wrong
"They steal from systems!" polymindence is not and never was based off alters.
"They wanna be systems!" polyminds explicitly say they're not systems.
"They're endos!" trauma based polyminds exist and polyminds aren't systems, so they can't be endogenic in the first place.
"It's harmful!" distinguishing your parts is not necessarily harmful, this heavily depends on the circumstances. plus if we're gonna say that distinguishing your parts is always bad, then all systems are harmful.
clutter — a sub-term for hazy !! where so many minds are active that you can't be specific or sure of who is at the head
mindbound — a person ,, place ,, object etc. that triggers a swap to a certain mind // minds . uhmm sentence examples like " A is mindbound to my sketchbook ,, and my sewing box is mindbound to B " or " school is mindbound for us "
bracelet — a mind that is always or often co-active with others ,, very rarely contradicting that . similar to dualing but combinations have more variety
artisan — a mind that focuses on making or is skilled in crafts // design of any kind . - similar to creator !
I don't know how people have gotten things so backwards about polyminds but here's the sitch.
Polyminds can't be spreading misinformation about systems/dissociative disorders because they aren't systems and they aren't claiming to have CDDs.
Claiming polyminds are harming themselves by "purposefully dissociating their identity" is simultaneously perpetuating stigma against CDDs and ignoring the struggles the individual you're invalidating is going through that led them to this experience.
On that last note, ISF exists. And its OKAY that it is similar to how cdd systems present. Because cdd systems form. To help. You cope. Richard Schwartz noticed that verbally separating parts of someone's identity in to functional labels can not only help with emotional regulation and increase self empathy, but help identify past traumas and current struggles the individual might be overlooking due to high stress and emotional repression. The goal is the eventual collecting of these parts into one healed whole. Polyminds are using this framework to survive, cope, and heal where they have no other tools available. It's not the business of the system community to police their mental health and how they choose to verbalize their experiences.
Polyminds are not ripping off fictives by naming their parts after characters. Period. Everybody introjects. And if you can't see how someone, especially a traumatized or neurodivergent person, might feel comforted or empowered by representing a part of themselves by a character they love/relate to idk what to do with you. (This one really gets me going, y'all gotta stop being so gatekeepy puh-lease.)
If youre offended by the existence of polyminds its because youre approaching the situation in bad faith or with a chronic lack of information and a foolhardy attitude. You are the problem.
Rant over. If ur mad, get better opinions and please block me on your way out </3
Anybody is free to reblog and add to this, bad faith and disrespectful arguments will be deleted.
Having a bunch of fictives of the same guy is really funny. It's just a loop of "Hi! Let me introduce you to these guys! This is me, this is me but with brown eyes, this is me but a bird, this is me but with longer hair, this is me but transmasc, this is me but slightly taller, this is me but transfem--"
