Stumbled on someone decrying TikTok “multiplicity kids” on twitter, but not sure how I feel about this thing and there’s no wikipedia article which is usually the limit of my research.
On one hand DID and OSDD are real things, though some people say it’s a culture specific disorder.
On the other kids having calling themselves “we”, claiming to be piloted by Harry Potter characters, real-life serial killer and Minecraft YouTubers seems to silly to not be just good clean fun.
On the third hand is you told someone thirty years ago about gender spectrum, genderfluidity, xenogenders, bi lesbians, autism spectrum, they’ll probably think you’re insane. Maybe there is a subclinical version of DID, like Asperger’s to autism, so to speak? I dunno…
This honestly feels like where I draw the line with identity discourse. It seems something that could be genuinely harmful to certain people’s mental health if it’s normalized or encouraged. Someone needs to remind these tiktok kids that some things are just normal parts of your mind maturing (ie: feeling disconnected from yourself, having changing personalities) and not something special that you should expand upon and turn into an aspect of your identity.
Like “shifting,” for example (another weird TikTok thing I’ve seen), isn’t some special magical power that white girls can do - it’s literally just your imagination. You can close your eyes and “go” places and feel like different people in your mind if you’re creative enough. Everyone can. That doesn’t mean it has any social significance and should be made into some big deal.
Idk, I’m honestly kind of losing my mind now at the starting line of my 20s and this shit just makes me anxious that the younger half of my generation is gonna psy-op each other into Antonin Artaud levels of insanity by worshipping the same kind of identity void I feel now. Feeling like you’ve lost your identity fucking sucks and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone with a passion for living because it can honestly erase it. I just don’t want to see another wave of microplastic-poisoned hikikomori adults who’ve scolded and gaslit themselves and their online communities into barely grasping reality and living in a simple, childlike dream world. We already have the Boomers.
Apologies for the cringe unwoke stream-of-consciousness rant, I’m coming down from a high that’s lasted way too long, and I unironically feel like the internets made us all insane. Me included. Peace and Love.
Also, from LGBT wiki :
Rainbowgenic: Rainbowgenic is a term to describe when the core’s parents had a previous miscarriage, stillbirth, or death during infancy, and the spirit and/or soul of the previous lost child/children stuck onto the next child. The body is shared between the previous sibling/siblings and the current sibling. This may be protogenic, spirigenic, and/or metagenic
Some truly powerful stuff.
Okay, I’m not down with taking this seriously at all. I can humor a lot of dumb shit but this crosses the line
The problem here is that it’s a fairly diverse community, with some people pushing incredibly out there stuff and more “conservative” elements that try to invalidate the former and out fakers. There is probably a conservative version of the headmate thing many people here would find plausible.
I have no idea what you’re trying to say
I’m saying that kids who think they’re sharing their body with the soul of their aborted siblings are a laughing stock even among the people who have Minecraft YouTubers living in their heads.
