it's interesting how someone was literally pointing out how her "feminism" is entirely performative and even at that it relies on utopian and impossible ideals so it's just a pretense for her to do absolutely nothing to actually help people and somehow label it feminism regardless and her response was "yaassss!". presented without comment
I can't believe that person is actually doubling down on the stance that it's wrong for a fanfiction website to ask for donations without making a performative monologue about how bad genocide is. Do they really need every single person and entity on the planet to step aside like Dora the Explorer to say, "Now remember! Genocide is BAD!" Yes, the situation is awful and there needs to be a ceasefire, but what do they think they're achieving by railing at AO3 Just Because and getting violent at random Tumblr users? People are just...
Yeah, exactly. There is a time and a place for everything. A site whose main goal is to maintain a censorship free site for fanfic ain't it. They focus on keeping the fics safe, and that's it. They had a pretty nasty security breach last year, so they absolutely need donations to make sure security is even better and as tight as possible.
Also, not everyone is comfortable talking about their political stances publicly, especially online, where a healthy and productive discussion is damn near impossible to come by. A lot of people prefer to keep their political beliefs their own personal business. Not everyone needs to be an activist, and just because they don't publicly state they support Palestine, it doesn't mean that they don't support Palestine. It means they keep their politics private, and I believe that people must respect that.
Mental health professionals appear to sometimes have a lack of ability to cope with the cycle of performativity and their clients knowing diagnostic criteria.
You can end up with more traits of a disorder if you know you have some traits of the disorder. But then mental health professionals don't think it's real because you broke the usual neuro-performative cycle. Sometimes people even make the ridiculous claim that there is nothing to treat. If a mental health professional claims this it just means they're too dumb to treat it.
There are also instances in which the disorder is performative, but not quite in the way you think.
On TikTok, tic disorders spread. People saw people with Tourette's, perhaps imitated a tic, and then got stuck like that. But they don't have Tourette's. They have FND.
Tourette's may not be able to spread. But tics themselves can.
This isn't to say everyone is vulnerable to such a thing. The brain has to be capable of being receptive to such a thing.
What I don't think people understand is that mental illness is a social construct and brains actually have a range of possible profiles that can change over time.
The cycle of performativity means that something deliberate can become accidental and vice versa.
PERFORMATIVE READING RESEARCH
My name is Giulia and I am a postgraduate student researching reading trends at University College London. The following survey is a key portion of my Masters of Publishing dissertation investigating performative behaviors and attitudes in readers. The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and is best viewed on a laptop, desktop, or tablet rather than a smartphone. Any and all responses are extremely valuable. Please complete the survey to the best of your abilities! Thank you for participating! This is an anonymized survey strictly for participants 18+. It is part of research conducted for the Masters dissertation of Giulia E. Vidoni at University College London. All data collected is for dissertation research purposes only. All information given is protected by University College London’s ethical code of conduct regarding research and data collection. Information will be password protected and permanently deleted after a designated length of time. There are no personal identifiers in this survey and all data in the final dissertation will be used anonymously. You can withdraw from this survey until the point of submission.

Pretending to be other people is interfering with God's need to pretend to be me.
