In the video shared, the TikTok user accurately makes the comment, "what sucks about being a system is you have no control over shit that happens to your body". I do not know if there is any additional context on the user that warrants fakeclaiming them (I doubt it), but as many systems experience amnesia, dissociation, and lack clear communication, situations like this are not unlikely to occur. Ideally, system members communicate with one another and agree not to make brash decisions - like changing the body's appearance without discussion first - but it's not as if members of a system are unable to act without permission or intervention.
The TikTok is clearly a way to make light of the circumstances and to joke about how the haircut looks.. "You can hide it but the fact I look like a cocker spaniel when I'm just sitting here.. I look like a fucking lord. Look like a goddamn coconut and I hate it so much. Who did this to me? Who cursed us to this fate?" Note the hyperbole of comparing the bad haircut to a "cursed fate".
This comment is accurate in that discovering in the aftermath things that have been done with your body without permission can be frightening, but a bad haircut is not permanent and far from the worst thing that could happen. If the user finds the scenario funny, he is allowed to joke about it and invite others to laugh about it too. I have no doubt some people would find this distressing, but not everyone has the same reactions to these kinds of situations.. Especially, again, not to something as unimpressive as temporarily having a bad haircut.
Needless to say, comments like the above are mere speculation about something that is a very real possibility. Many users on the subreddit make mistakes like this constantly, where they trip themselves over the most basic of information about any given disorder. They are so quick to run their subreddit they do not think for a moment about whether what they're seeing is accurate to the experience of disordered people.
The subreddit claims to be a place where people want to spread accurate information, but the truth is majority of posts are made based on the cringe factor of a user and a vibe check.. And "cringe" is the basis of other harmful rhetoric like transphobia and fatphobia. This behaviour is unacceptable and users should feel ashamed about participating in these posts.
