What are closed culture names ?

This is atleast a gathering of what we learned from researching the concept of closed culture names + responses form this post this isn’t like ,,, a super duper in depth analyzation but it’s something ,

+ link to a Reddit ask abt this concept

Section 1. What does “ closed culture mean ? ”

Closed culture: a culture that is specific to a group of people and that outsiders are not allowed to / highly discouraged in participating in . A example would be Hoodoo

A lot of times closed cultures are closed due to outsiders just being unable to understand the complexities of said culture and their traditions .

Section 2. What is a “ closed culture name “

A closed culture name would be a name that is specific to those in a closed culture that outsiders should not use. Usually the names have specific meanings and are given to specific people / have ties in traditions etc ,

Closed cultural names are NOT just names that have POC origins ( like Asian names , African names etc ) which is what usually people try to say online , closed cultural names are very specific and aren’t a concept exclusive to POC cultures

of course every one is able to have differing opinions about sharing culture with others and stuff but trying to claim that all Asian , African , Spanish etc names are “ closed culture names “ is just factually incorrect.

somone using the name ,, let’s say Aoi as a non Japanese person is not misusing a closed culture name. Aoi is not a closed culture name it is just a name that happens to have Japanese origins. ( aslong as they aren’t using it JUST cuz its Japanese name and they want to seem Japanese or smthing )

anyways uhm yeah rant over hopefully this isn’t confusing ? We tried our very best !/gen

also btw feel free to add on our correct us/gen

note: we also did ask a lot of our IRL POC friends about this and some of them helped us write this /gen

I just honestly think “sysmed” is a better term than “anti-endo” because they’re not just against endogenic systems.

They’re against traumagenic non-disordered systems.

They’re against traumagenic systems who are disordered by something other than a CDD.

They’re against traumagenic CDD systems who support endogenic systems.

They’re against traumagenic plurality if the trauma happened as an older child, teen or adult.

Some are even against traumagenic CDD systems if that CDD isn’t DID or OSDD (and sometimes OSDD doesn’t even count to them).

They’re not just anti-endogenic. They genuinely believe that everyone who doesn’t 100% agree with them are faking or enabling faking.

It’s more accurate to say they’re system medicalists (“sysmeds”) because they aim to pathologize (medicalize) plurality as a whole and leave out everyone who doesn’t have a dissociative disorder (and even some who do). Yes they are anti-endo but they're also anti-DID if it fits their narrative.

Thought of making a tag for plurals since I thought it would be cool to share. It's #pluralsonder !

What does sonder mean?

The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it.

Why do I choose the word?

That is because for everyone[including endogenic, mixed-origins, traumagenic, etc] all have different experiences. We go through something different. And even if they could be similar, the possibility of being exactly the same would honestly be hard to find. But never impossible.

Everyone has a life to share, a life to keep secret from, a life that may not be so exciting. We all should understand, that no one can know your brain and headmates, better than you.

This tag can be used for anything EXCEPT Syscourse or any hate related topics. I know I can't control what people use the tags for, but I would rather see the positive of this tag.

Oh goodness me, I talked too much. Uhhh... yeah.

"B-but endogenic systems are attacking us!1!🥺"

And then proceeds to:

Add the "endos f#$k off" tag in every one of their posts

Make a WHOLE GODDAMN BLOG just to hate on us

Make the most relatable posts about systems and then writing "endos dni"

Send us d3ath treats

Call us names

And many other things.

No one is attacking you. No one is abusing you. No one is "destroying our community". It's because we are a part of the plural community. And no one can change that, no matter how much you hate us.

[⛓️🌈]RadPlural~

A Plural that is radically accepting of Plurals of all origins, headmate roles (such as persecutor, or a custom role), and headspace populations (for example, a plural with a lot of fictives or 100+ population). Radplurals/Radplurs believe in the core value of "being and let be" so long as no one is harmed.

[⛓️🌈]- Chains to represent how we are linked together to ourhead mates and to our community. The rainbow represents the diversity of the plural community.

Colors are inspired by the sunrise, representing a new day to make the plural community more welcoming<333

How it feels being pro endo on TikTok

[grody-cody-bb]

Chat how do I find local community and hang out spots and stuff

Like I need to find a job but I want it to be some place cool and local and not some huge company or something

I want to go to art alleys and local concerts and queer/alternative get togethers

I want to find my place as a young adult

HOW DO I FIND THIS SHIT !!!??? 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[bubblegum-bros-sys-deactivated2]

Approaching getting ready to find a job and sorta get out there in life in general, and it’s just tough cause I know we’re only getting to that point because I’m slowly becoming a sort of co-host and I’m putting in a lot of work to get us there, and mentally I tend to be more grown up and confident than our main host so it is a bit easier for me.

However the idea of going to work and getting to know people and stuff without being openly plural, having to mask as our host or some sort of “singlet-sona” makes me extremely uncomfortable and generally upset.

I want to be openly plural so bad, but I know for the safety of our system and body as a whole, I have to be responsible and careful about what I choose to share with people we don’t know very well, and even people we do, especially in recent times where being trans, queer, neurodivergent, pagan, alternative, etc. is actively putting a huge target on our back, as we live in America, specifically Texas.

In my stance, I am punk as hell, I would wanna be as openly everything as possible and give a big ol’ “fuck you” to anyone who gives us a problem over it, and try to educate those who are ignorant but well intentioned.

But it’s not just up to me. It’s not just about me. I have my whole system to worry about. I have my friends and family to worry about. So it comes down to either prioritizing our collective safety as best we can, or prioritizing our values.

Maybe we’ll just try and start slow, idk. The future is plural, we will be seen sooner or later

I think a big part of the reason that I went from anti-endo to endo-safe was absolutely due to how starkly different the communities felt.

Anti-endo communities were hard to engage with. Sure, some of them would focus on their support for each other more than their hatred of endogenic systems. And that's great! However, when you are brought together by your dislike of a certain group, you can't help but feel the hate permiate into so much of it. It always happened eventually. Anti-endo communities had such a focus on systems who were "fake" that I couldn't help but worry I was one of them, no matter how much they told me it was "just endos" they were concerned about.

The endo community (at least the parts I've engaged with and were easy to find) were so kind and respected me as a system, no matter how I felt or my plurality presented. Simply knowing we could find joy in our plurality allowed us to strive for so much more than we had thought possible before.

As a traumagenic system, we've improved so much with our symptoms and communication as a result of the positivity and acceptance we recieved. When we joined communities where we could be authenticallly ourselves (no matter what), we came together and faced so much less conflict between each other. And the conficts we did have, we realized that we could solve them together rather than alone.

When you are constantly doubting if you are "actually a system", you start to push the others away, and that made our dissociation and amnesia so much worse. I understand being careful of self-misdiangnosis, it can put you on the wrong path for how you learn to manage your symptoms. At the same time, the sentiment I often heard from endogenic systems when I was struggling with doubt and denial was very simple: "So what if you're not a system?" In short, it was okay to be wrong.

And that was huge for me. I realized that, no matter if I was a system or not, the techniques I used to improve ourselves and communicate with one another beneficial to me. At the end of the day, even if I wasn't a system after all, the skills I had found we invaluble to my health and well-being. So when I fall into denial spirals, no matter what I think about myself, I now know that I don't need to deprive myself of what has helped me, even if it is a "system thing." I don't feel scared to use these skills anymore (even in denial spirals), beacuse the line between what systems and non-systems or singlets can/can't do suddenly wasn't a big deal or a battle of "who can do what."

Our plurality is no longer a burden or a scar to us. It is simply who we are. We've learned so much about each other and ourselves since we've been accepted in full, and since we've learned to accept others. Endogenic communities have helped us (a traumagenic system) probably more than they'll ever know, and we're forever grateful for that.

So thank you, endogenic systems.

“how tf can you be pro endo”

bro i’m an adult with a job ofc i’m pro endo. ofc i don’t think it’s any of my business how other people label themselves and their experiences????

[grody-cody-bb]

I hate being told or expected to heal and be better when I haven’t been able to hold space for my anger.

I’m still filled with hurt and rage and stubborn passion and spite, it overflows my bones and veins, it seeps out of my pores and spits from my throat like venom.

I want to kick and punch and scream and fight until my voice goes hoarse and then do it all over again until I’ve known I’ve made a difference because fuck “letting go” when i have to be tied down for eternity.

I don’t want to let go or move on or be better, I want to be allowed to be hurt and angry, I want to use that hurt to make a difference, I want there to be less hurt in the world. Making that happen is the only way I could ever heal.

When people tell me to cope and heal and let go and move on and stuff I know they mean it well and I know that down the line it will make me feel better, but for right now, it feels like just another way to silence me when I have been trying to scream at the top of my lungs for years. I don’t want to heal, I want to be allowed to hurt. My anger is more than justified and I should be able to express that instead of calming down and being the better person all the time.

I hide when I have to but for what it’s worth I am never changing who I am for other people and I will fight for my and others’ right to be that way. Existence is protest or however that saying goes. I will never let go of my anger because it’s what makes me who I am and I know I can use it for good. For Justice. Fuck you for making me a monster but I will use my horns and claws and teeth to fight back because that’s why I have them
