Plurality is particularly crazy because the lore they have for it being 'real' is basically stuff they've learned from JRPGs, anime and manga

I have to admit I'm a little sad that the massacre of PoliEra is over. It brought us all together for a brief moment but now it's gone.

I experince psychosis myself (delusions and persecutory voices) and am medicated for it and trust me the conflation is utterly frustrating, and only really exists because back in the 50s or 60s it really did used to be called Schizophrenia and old old depitcions of it stuck around in the minds of people who made newer depictions.

Okay, who of you are TwoHearts? That was pretty masterful trolling.

Makes care that much harder from even the few instances i'd seen it at my old job since someone who'd been treated for several years for one thing was suddenly diagnosed with DID years after the fact. It's, to my understanding, not very well understood even now, can only hope that at least things have progressed in the 60 odd years since then. Spotlighting examples in media is a great way to bring awareness to the public on matters like this though, so kudos.

I hope you were fired from your old job for being an idiot.

It is generally estimated to affect 1% of the population which is a similar amount of the population as is trans, and due to the high rates of sexual abuse among trans people, especially trans women, I can anecdotally say that a large amount of trans people are plural. I personally know 6 trans women, and one trans man in my city who are plural including myself, and know many more online.

Just wanted to say, yes, it is very exhausting to deal with peoplenthat think DID isn't real.

The reality is, while DID is relatively common (with most estimates being 1-3% of the global population), most people do not understand what it is like. They simply do not have the frame of reference.

And that sucks.

Even most trained mental health professionals don't know about DID. I have no idea how this is possible. How can something that affects over 1% of the population just be completely left out of their training like that?

Its definitely real.

"If you are anxious about if you exist or not, then you exist" is something we have said before.

Its just another way medicine tries to de-empathize with Us, so they can justify cruelty, not reexamine biases, or question their own singularness.

we had a friend who was trained in psychology and eventually terminated our friendship ewith him because he wasnt respectful and saw all people as inferior to himself.

possibly mental health professionals get this god complex where they mistakenly think they are an expert on human psychology. this would explain their resistance to somone actually with plurality giving them a lesson on what plurality is really about, thus conflicting with their so-called superior training.

our local doctor wrongly told us we didnt have ADHD but when we told him about PDA autism months later he was surprisingly more supportive of that. we are not going to tell him about plurality, we will wait for the official diagnosis to tell him that when we finally get one.

yeah, it appears to us that the plural community is at least 10 years ahead of the medical profession.

Only negative thing I saw was an apparent founder/member of SBI making a bunch of.. racist? or at least prejudiced posts about smacking away white guy ideas, which I'd probably say at least seems an unprofessional way to act or think really, but not totally wrong if they're giving more credibility to diversity and etc

None of those little, defenseless, boys and girls had to die.

But imagine having to explain to someone that the prepubescent girl in your head is banned from posting in a thread about being mad at boobs and ass by posting lots of pictures of boobs and ass to be mad at.

Dude… they are idiots. Their proof probably is “Android Sophia is vouching for her”.

Even so, if she is just batshit crazy, more reason to ban her because there is no way they can accommodate her without enabling her.

I feel like every few years or so I'm surprised at how dumb American culture war is...and then I find the locus of attention to be even dumber each successive time. Gamergate was supposedly about what, "ethics in games journalism"...or something?

Gamergate was a harassment campaign against any women and POC working in games. "Ethics in games journalism" was a dog whistle.

I'm aware. Hence the "supposedly" in what I wrote.

Poodlestrike gave me some good resources to look into to further learn about both the antisemitic throughlines that can not only crop up in I/P discussions, but in general other discussions where people can slip into stereotyping, such as with the trope about Jewish new world order conspiracies.

YOU'V BEEN POODLESTRUCKKKKKKKK

[kaleidoscopium]

DID like any mental illness isn't exactly easy to live with, but it is something you can learn ways to cope with and even find joy in as your understanding grows. For example, we get sick a lot, and when we're sick we can be really "switchy" which can cause problems when talking to doctors as say I might know half the information while another alter might know a quarter and another would know another quarter and that one could be a child. However, we've started keeping a note server for this kind of thing.
Disagreeing with alters is just kind of life, and we've had experiences where for example I hated another alter's girlfriend but since she was the host at the time I tried to be as friendly as possible, and one of our child alters makes unwise spending decisions so we've had to remove our credit card from the google play store and she's agreed to not spend more than $100 on any purchase at a time. If she's mad at something we've done, she often hides our hormones somewhere we won't think to find them as a way of punishing us. However, we do love each other and most of the time we get along and haven't had any serious disagreements since we've started dating an ace girl, removing the sex question from the picture which made many of us anxious.

I was gonna repost this shit

every weirdo online community that wants to groom others into their cult because misery loves company demands acceptance and legitimacy tries to claim they're X% of the population



did you know 10% of all people are lgbtqia+? 
did you know 1% of all people are trans? 
did you know 1% of all people are furry?
did you know 1% of all people have headmates?
did you know 1% of all people have a diaper fetish? 



think of all the thousands of people you've met in your life, and how many of them said "hi, I'm bob" and then later said "hi, angelica is fronting today"

none of them? huh you must be a weird outlier to not have met any people with DID! that's so strange!

So, for a wrap up on the NepNep Apology of Total Forgiveness, a few unasked for thoughts.

1) She ain’t sorry.

No, no wait! I know it’s hard to believe, but the simple fact is the NepNep I’ve read is above all other things (and there are a lot of other things) first and foremost, unrepentant. I doubt she even cared about the ‘doxxing’ in the end, but had to play the victim.

She’s not only not sorry she hurt any Jewish members feelings or that she tweeted out those beliefs, she’s not even sorry she got caught. She’d rather ban anyone in her way than admit she made any kind of mistake.

2) Apology That Killed A Community

Why apologize then? Because Dubs is a gigantic pussy. He thought he desperately needed her to denounce her tweets and begged her to tow a line. And to Nep’s credit in using her leverage, she agreed but only if he destroyed PoliGaf. It’s the only explanation for his bizarre and stonewalling behavior towards the discord leaders. He gave them an impossible ultimatum with the sole intent to ban everyone involved so he could get her apology out there to mollify the other members and possibly MOBA, if they were around or came sniffing.

3) Nothing’s Changed

Anyone who thinks she’s reconsidered pushing Israel into the sea has lost their mind. You can always tell when you get a pseudo-intellectual into a corner, because they start spouting terms rampantly to try and confuse and deflect. She did whole paragraphs of that, but even there, at no point did she reflect on said views. Just how to hide them better from Jewish members. 

And again Dubs… *WORST OPTION*

Because it wasn’t HER apology you needed. If you got that scumbag sex slavery expert Plagiarize to walk back and apologize for that gross argument and semantic hair splitting, this would have ended.

Instead, you genocide’d yet another community to appease NepNep, for an unneeded apology, instead of getting the cheaper, easier one that wouldn’t have gotten a bunch of members banned.

Every. Time.

What does this guy think the president does…?

If anything, that was what many Trumptards wanted with Trump, the normalization of ideas from the far right in the mainstream. 

The final result, I feel, it was a bunch of people feeling they all were a bunch of cunts on both sides of the political spectrum.

[kaleidoscopium]

It's frustrating that they're going after a small group of writing consultants who never had any power anyway and were just hired to make sure there was nothing disrespectful in the games.

Unfortunately, this is how mob mentality works, and it's really hard to reach out to them and make them think a bit harder about what they're doing.

Just like with Zoe Quinn a decade ago, they want a target to focus all their anger and insecurities into. Some of them are probably aware of how irrational it is, but they want to punish somebody for how they feel anyways.
