stop letting alters that don't belong to an ethnic group claim it.

stop letting fetishization of "exotic" culture slide.

stop letting people google names in other languages and not show those languages the respect they deserve. like ffs, at least learn how to pronounce what your part is calling themself. at least learn the context the word is used in.

stop being nonconfrontational about racism. yeah, you'll ruffle some feathers. maybe those feathers need to be ruffled.

What no one seems to fucking get on this post is that it is not ancient history, nor is it harmless, nor is it something we can curate our feed to get away from.

First, this is a current issue. We're speaking from our own experience. The way we got into the system community was via an IRL friend who was later revealed to be a compulsive liar. When we sought out online community, we ended up in a Discord server full of endogenic systems. All of this took place from the late 2010s up through 2025 when we finally left that server.

Second, endogenic communities and rhetoric do hurt pwCDDs. Both of those experiences made us try to suppress our symptoms and our multiplicity for years. We thought we were faking our symptoms because we could not do what those systems could. We couldn't properly communicate with each other, we couldn't front at will, we couldn't "system hop." We stopped going to therapy and taking medication for over four years because this community had us convinced multiplicity wasn't disordered, and that even if it was, we weren't plural "enough" to seek help. We were terrified of being honest with mental health professionals because the pervasiveness of endogenic rhetoric has caused further dissent among mental health professionals. When we finally started telling our current therapist about what was going on with us, we explained why we had been hesitant and used the term appropriative to describe the endogenic systems we had encountered. She agreed.

Thirdly, the reason we even saw those posts is because they were using the same tags we do: #actually cdd for example. Sure, we can just block every pro-endo we come across, but just like you all are free to post whatever you like, so are we. We can complain if we want. Saying otherwise is dumb as fuck.
