Disabled people:”We are disabled. Call us disabled people.”
Nondisabled people:”Oh no. You’re not disabled. That’s too negative. We’ll call you special, differently-abled, challenged,
handicapable. Anything you want, but not disabled.”
Hey, healthy multiplicity isn't choosing not to recover, it's another path to recovery. Saying or implying that final fusion is choosing recovery and healthy multiplicity is indulging in escapism is really deeply hurtful and just fundamentally untrue.
if you 'support' all systems then you have to support the disordered ones and the non-disordered and the ones who've been both and the ones who hate being systems and the ones who love it the ones who present as singlets the ones who are super separate the ones who are median
#pluralgang part of respecting endo systems is not putting down headmates that formed out of smaller reasons. not every system is traumatized, and plurality isn't always disordered. talking about it like it's some awful thing will only make systems repress it unhealthily. (1/4)
reminder that non-traumagenic origins and disordered plurality are not mutually exclusive; non-traumagenic systems can absolutely be disordered (and inversely, traumagenic systems can be non-disordered)
It's funny how neurotypicals will say shit like 'autistic people treat people as inanimate objects rather than as thinking beings like themselves' when that's literally the perfect description of how neurotypicals treat autistic people.
We call that projection.
please do not support any movies that demonize systems, as they are already at high risk for unemployment, homelessness, abuse, etc. movies like 'split' and 'the crowded room' cause a dramatic spike in abuse against systems
Back when we were a younger system, we spent a lot of time in spaces that vented about new alters (“we split yesterday and I’m so upset, I hate getting new people”) and oh boy engaging in that culture & saying those things ourselves messed up our system for awhile
Anyways, as a fictive I will gladly denounce the creator of my source if necessary. Our existence doesn’t mean we support the creator if they do horrible things -natsuo

Let me explain what system responsibility is.
It is: "I apologize on behalf of my system mate. We will work harder to prevent this from happening again."
It is not: "Ugh my system mate did that, not me! They're the worst, they should apologize 😩"
What the fuck is a “problematic source” for fictives anyways, a subjective definition to shame fictives who come from sources they had no control over? -dabi
