How does it feel to have been run off tumblr for being a fake, abusive asshole?
Evening there, anonymous.
I'm not entirely sure why I've been told to respond to this, but I have. So here I am, squeeling for the rest of them like a little piggy ("because I write good").
We weren't run off tumblr; we've got a new blog where we've decided not to deal with DID or multiplicity or nonhuman-ness in a public setting, I guess, is the full explanation.
We dont have some big, grand explanation about how the community is so abusive or how we aren't actually multiple. I guess that would be a little too 'comic-booky'. We don't have a defense of us leaving right after a ton of our old mistakes were brought up.
We didn't decide to do it because someone had "uncovered us as fakes" (although I don't think anyone was actually saying we were fake before we left except anons?)- we've been called that since before we even were really out on tumblr. It doesn't really bother us. We haven't gone away since we left the tumblr community for plurals. The alters are still here as they were before.
We didn't do it because we were called abusive, we still feel we never were. We made mistakes, lots of them, but they were good intentioned and misinformed, and usually apologised for. They weren't manipulative, and we never diminished the real worth of alters as was alleged; we simply made fun of the fact it's often harder to get an alter to do something positive than something negative, because it was an issue we were struggling with at the time. (That said, to anyone we've hurt who happens upon this, feel free to email us at the address which this account is linked to; thomas.michaelson.omally@gmail, and we'll discuss our wrongs and see if we can't sort out a proper apology for you.) We were overly defensive and overly egoistic, but we were never abusive. (And, for the record, a minor being in a consensual relationship with an adult of no more than five years' difference still isn't 'supporting pedophilia' on the part of the minor.)
We left because tumblr isn't the place for us to be open about our plurality. It encouraged our militant brand of moral defense on the topic, rewarded us for talking more about dissociation and derealisation than how to handle it, and made us feel like the world of plurality was black and white. Perhaps this was because of the community itself; I'm more prone to believe it was a combination of the circumstance in which the community presents itself and our own wretched brain working the cogs backwards until we're all wound up and our braingoo is coming out our ears.
So I guess now that we've left, being "run off" tumblr feels okay? We just blog on our new blog. Life goes on. We have bad days and good days and we're all still here.
I guess people care enough to still send anon hate (187 messages in the primary's inbox alone) so if you all want to get in contact with us for any reason, whether it be to actually have questions like this answered or to find us at our new blog or whatever, we still check the skype and email on ur contact page.
Thus concludes the real last post on this blog, and the explanation as to why we left/how we've been doing/how it feels. Conclusion is nice.
