i hate when systems (often on reddit) say to call persecutors 'midguided protectors', because while, yeah, thats described most of our persecutors, some of them are NOT 'misguided' and are actively trying to harm us

yeah,, we just don't like generalized terms in general. Not all persecutors are misguided and not all persecutors are genuinely trying to harm. It depends on the system / alter really

Saw a pro-endo saying that it’s bad to say the future shouldn’t be plural because that implies being a system “isn’t normal”.

But the thing is, it’s not normal. It’s a disorder that’s caused by someone being horribly traumatized. It’s a trauma response.

It’s not normal.

If the future is plural, we’ve failed so many children. I hope the future is singlet.

yeah,, either way the whole "the future is plural" thing is just. Not good. It's not normal to be plural. It's not normal to be traumatized. We shouldn't be wishing for kids to have fractured identities and to dissociate from themselves.

Back in my day (shakes fists at anti endos) we yelled at people spamming the DIDOSDD tags with endogenic bullshit!!!

is this da longest the host hasnt been in front?

...am i the new host now

Hi. This is your reminder to drink water if you’re able to.

I AM SO TIRED OF SEEING ENDO HATE IN THE GENERAL CDD TAGS

I'M LOOKING FOR RELATABLE DID CONTENT, AND ALL I SEE IS PEOPLE RAGGING ON ENDOS, I DON'T CARE, KEEP YOUR CRUEL, ASSHOLE TAKES TO THE #ANTI ENDO TAG, LITERALLY NO ONE CARES, THAT'S WHY I'M LOOKING FOR DID CONTENT, NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ENDOS, HATE OR POSITIVITY

The tags are unusable these days and I hate the community for doing this

#DID =/= #anti endo, most people with DID aren't anti

Keep your hate to the hate tags

okay so no one likes " the future is plural " right

buttt i think a slogan would be good to bring awareness of did/osdd!!

so what about:

" Not Your Horror Trope "

it attacks the stereotype that all systems are " dangerous " or " violent " aswell as the fact that our illness has been used for shock value in various films

it also doesnt specifically say " plural " or " system " in it, since ik some systems are uncomfortable with those terms ( we HATE being called plural )

lmk what you think!!

This is more of a question rather than something regarding misinfo, but is there a specific term for what the, like, ORIGINAL is called? We use the term "core" since that's what we found once, but we've also heard people refer to them as the "host" or the "body" and we wanted to know if there was a correct term or if "core" is something we shouldn't use since we've never heard anyone else use the term "core", although we don't meet new people, especially systems, very often which may be apart of it.

So sorry if this is worded wrong or weirdly!!!!

techincally the term for the "original" is core, but the term core is very debated,, it has been used by people but whether a "core" exists or not is argued over " There is currently a debate over the existence of cores because it does not easily fit with the theory of structural dissociation. Not all systems have a part that could be identified as a core. "

the idea of a core doesn't completely fit with the theory of how DID forms, since if we go off the theory of structural dissociation there would be no "original" or "first" alter (as before alters are formed it'd just be fragments / parts of an identity, not a integrated identity,, if that makes sense?)

it kind of depends how you refer to it / how you use the term core. i would say that overall, the term is disliked since it goes against the theory of structural dissociation,, though did-research.org says that a core could be fit into it as; "one has to examine the theory as it exists on a spectrum to conceptualize how an early failure of integration could still allow one part to integrate before others." which i guess could make sense in a way? it depends.

really its more of a personal thing i think,, most systems don't like the term but if you like it i can't stop you from using it. there's not much else to say. ((also calling them the original is also widely disliked too, but its pretty much the same thing))

apologies if this doesn't really answer your question, i'm unsure what to say

EVERYONE EVERYONE look

THANK YOU THAT'S ALL :D

Being called by your name, not the host’s name, for the first time is like

You know?

this is our first submission on here so hello!!

Boiling hot take (that really shouldn’t be a hot take at all): Don’t sexualize/fetishize fictives. Do not. It’s not quirky. It’s not cute. They are not your senpais or waifus or whatever the term is. They are real people with real feelings and personalities. Don’t reduce them to their canon, please and thank you.

yeah,, its just creepy when people do that. they aren't their source, they're real people.

"you're a sysmed" I f***ing guess so yeah! But don't use a term derived from something transphobic for us. Be original when you call us what we are instead of trying to lump us in with transphobics to demonize us.

mhmm
