Hi everybody! My schedule has been really unforgiving, so I may or may not end up writing something and making changes to the post later in the week.

Regardless, I hope you all have a good week!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

    You know what, that’s a fair point. I think some people literally haven’t encountered plural people or DID or systems, the terminology is mostly online (because of the rarity of the condition not any other reason) and people’s experience with it is probably Hollywood stuff like Me, Myself, and Irene

      In 2019, former GDQ speedrunners protomagicalgirl came out as plural on HBomber’s stream and got her life ruined by KiwiFarms. Plurality is suppressed, not rare by nature.

        Yeah that’s a good point. Even in the medical community there remains debate about if it exists at all (in contrast to the people who are living right now with multiplicity, self reported or not)
