#syscourse response

[firelight-syscourse]

This is genuinely the last post I am making on the "little" debate. I will no longer respond to anything on those posts or in my inbox. Any asks about it will be deleted

First of all: I am an adult with a life outside of this. I am also only one of two alters on this account (the rest of the system wants nothing to do with syscourse like this). You will not get timely replies from me. Syscourse is not my life, nor do I constantly think about it. I am also very demand avoidance. The more you push me for a reply or for something, I will not do it. I do not need 13 messages asking me to post something. Once is enough

Second of all: I empathize with those who messaged me about going through pedo trauma. I have been through some as well and so have others I have spoken to on both sides of the argument. It is part of the way I feel like I do. Do not assume people's traumas please

Third: I find it very amusing that some of the people who are defending the stance of allowing littles to look at porn/do adult activities actively support Maps/Pedophiles

Fourth: I am not telling you what to do with your system. It is merely my opinion that littles should not be allowed to engage in adult activities. You will do whatever you want. I will just remove myself from such areas as it makes me uncomfortable

Fifth: Yes, some littles are hosts. Yes, some littles hold memories. We have a little who holds many memories and a little as a system manager. Our little manager does not wish to be treated like a little, but we still protect them as much as we can from violence or sexual content. We cannot completely stop memories from getting to them, but while they are up we can stop them from being exposed to it

Once again: This is my final post on this topic. All current messages/asks will be deleted (nor will I read them outside of what I already have) and I will be making new posts outside of this topic

Littles do not function like literal children, especially in systems with low amnesia barriers. This is a known fact for those who work with dissociative disorders. You cannot police how other’s handle younger parts, you are not anyone’s therapist. Mind your damn business.

I am not a licensed therapist, yes. However this is a syscourse blog, I can state my opinion on the matter

I am not policing anything, I will not even attempt to. I can still state what I have multiple times already

Also, even within the therapeutic sphere there is much debate on that. Some places say to treat them like bodied children, others do not, some state there is nuance. I found some studies that prove my point and disprove it

Either way, I will continue to believe what I believe and you can continue to believe what you believe

Have a good day!

i guess i am just curious, why/how do you draw the lines between adult stuff youve decided its ok for littles to do vs the stuff that is bad? bc in the same breath you acknowledge that littles can drive and children definitely under no circumstances should be allowed to do that irl. what about the nature of driving changes the morality here, though, other than the absence of sex? Is it just the Sex? what sets the sex apart from, like, hard drugs? or are hard drugs also bad and you're making some kind of distinction when you bring up culture/drinking ages? It's just difficult to glean a coherent philosophy without more information about which things littles are and are not allowed to do according to your worldview

I brought up that in specific studies that the child alters will drive and do taxes. I do not believe they should personally, but that is less extreme than hard drugs and sexual content

My hard lines are sexual content, romantic relationships, and hard drugs

Now, based on my culture kids shouldn't be doing any drugs, alcohol, partaking in sexual content, driving, doing taxes, holding down jobs, etc. However, that isn't how the entire world works and I can't and won't police people based on their own cultures and morals

please do not water down and muddle actual serious child predation by calling stuff involving alters in an adult brain and body pedophilic on that basis alone.

I am not watering it down or muddling it down. I find it on the same level and will continue to treat it as such. If this were a site where blocking actually worked everyone commenting defending this shit would have been blocked a while ago

Children should not be allowed to look at porn even if they are in an adult body. It is the hill I will die on

pedophilic????? for a grown adult body and brain to look at porn of adults???

This is not about the body age. This is about the age of the alter. I do not believe someone under the age of 18 should be exposed to porn, no matter if the body is over the age of 18. And especially for those adult bodies/alters wanting to be in romantic/sexual relationships with alters under the age of 18. I find that very pedophilic in nature, but again, that is my opinion
