18+ disordered system with many evil spooky opinions. no DNI just don’t break your own babes

this is our discourse (mostly syscourse) sideblog;; some stances under cut, will be updated as needed ;3

• proship/fic : not very invested in the discussion, but we oppose censorship even of content we find distasteful. this is the most common stance out in the real world and the fact that it’s a big online debate with gen z & a at all exemplifies how much our generations are losing ourselves in puritanical, conservative thinking, and the watering down of our artistic expression in an age which prioritizes total efficiency and moral perfection and staying on the grind. fiction DOES have an affect on reality, which is why artistic depictions of bad actions, even in a romanticized context (this encompasses so much of literary fiction but you wouldn’t know that if you only read fanfics), are important—and “fiction affecting reality” does not just mean people who read american psycho are going to go start killing people because patrick bateman made them think it was awesome or something.

• pro endo, willo, mixed, xeno origins : we’re mixed-origins but disordered & primarily traumagen. we recognize that the theory of dissociation which currently explains our existence as alters is still only a theory, that scientific knowledge is always changing, that we don’t know much about how the brain works at all so making any claims with a sense of authority like only x or y activity is possible under x and/or y specific circumstances is silly and plainly unscientific. a lot of syscourse consists of dysregulated systems who need an easy target to lash out at, and the weakness of their arguments makes this really obvious

most of us don’t understand xeno system origins but we don’t have to understand something personally to respect it & recognize that it’s important to someone out there. we have 1 label-hoarding alter who loves them but the rest of us don’t think about them much

• transplural neu : transplurals are essentially willos who like using trans terminology and feel some sort of plural dysphoria, and we don’t have much of a problem with that. but since their community is basically another one we already support using slightly different language, we’re neutral on it

• pro self diagnosis : as long as you’re as well-informed as possible, go for it, because if you live in the country we live in (US) or like half of all other countries ever, our medical and mental health systems are all fucked. for some people it’s not even a choice: systems who want to/need to be able to drive a car but who know a diagnosis would prevent them from obtaining a permit or license, for example. or anyone with any stigmatized condition who’d rather avoid discriminatory confrontations with medical professionals, or at their workplace, etc etc

im sure its different in other countries where public education actually teaches you anything but arguing with an anticommunist american is impossible. you get 10 seconds in and theyve already displayed that their knowledge of communism begins and ends at a first grade level. they still think communism only means a soviet-style government takes your toothbrush away because that’s private property. they think oh in history class we learned it never works, but they have no clue that it never worked in many countries that tried it because WE came and demolished them, arrested/assassinated their leaders, impoverished their lands forever, forced our own system back on them. the kids AND the adults have no clue what theyre talking about and if you try to interface with the latter theyll say “well i know better because i lived through it!” no you fucking did not, you lived in america while other communist countries were trying their hardest to fight for their survival, mainly against us. you lived in a time with even MORE anticommunist hatred suffused through the public, you literally lived through McCarthyism, you consumed propaganda constantly and youre still recycling those old talking points today.

it’s so annoying. you literally cannot talk about communism to any other americans because they know absolutely nothing about it beyond stereotypes and memes

im not a fan of being told i cant call something pluralphobic because “that’s an endo term.” i dgaf that youre insecure and annoying about endos, its a useful term that describes what we deal with all the time as a disordered, diagnosed CDD system so were gonna use it and you should too if you want anything to change ever

nobody in my irl life whos important to me knows i exist and if they did wed lose almost all of our critical support network. thats living with pluralphobia. its safe to assume there are plenty of endos who live the same way, cant be themselves irl. pluralphobia is a real, serious problem to be tackled, but were never gonna manage to do it if we have to constantly fight about who REALLY experiences it and whether or not its a “valid word” at all

if somebodys outright faking OCD or they claim to have it in a strange, maybe impossible way, im not supportive of that as somebody with diagnosed OCD. they dont have it. but if they talk about their fake OCD and are then discriminated against for it, theyve still experienced that targeted medical discrimination. even if they were faking, they could still make a positive impact by talking about what they went through presenting as having OCD and campaign for further destigmatization of it

even if you dont believe endos are “real systems” (a concept thats certainly hurting you and your own system as much as its hurting theirs) you can see how, presenting as one publically, they can be victims of pluralphobia. this is how discrimination works. its shitty to say with no scientific basis that an entire group of people are brainwashed or lying about their entire lives, especially when thats exactly what were told by medical professionals and singlets ourselves, but if youre that committed to your narrative you can AT LEAST recognize that we all are capable of facing discrimination and an inability to be our true selves
