Discourse Sideblog

"How can you believe that someone can be a wolf, but can't believe that multiple people can exist in the same body without trauma?"

First of all, although some systems do see their alters as different people (us included), this is not what a system is. It's dissociated states of identity, not multiple people. Please, do your research.

Secondly, how is an actual disorder comparable to an identity in any way????

It's so frustrating to have to check every alterhuman blog I come across to make sure they're not ableist.

The more I see about the endo community, the angrier I get

One Axis: Highly Productive / Insightful / Intriguing Topic vs Minimally Productive / Insightful / Intriguing Topic

Second Axis: Largely Localized Impact to Community / People and / or Impacting only Those that Choose to Engage VS Largely Impactful to Community / People

Green Quadrant - Highly Productive and Largely Impactful = Critical / Important Topics

Example: The US Election and US Politics, Human rights on a global scale

Yellow Quadrant - Highly Productive but Largely Localized = Interesting or Fun Food for thought / Learning Opportunities

Example: Sysconversation tag, Some parts of Tulpacourse

Blue Quadrant - Minimally Productive but Largely Impactful = Unproductive Discourse / Topic that has Lost the Plot

Example: Most infighting online

Red Quadrant - Minimally Productive and Largely Localized = Drama

Example: Most person centered heated discussions

Typically I try to not spend emotional energy, mental energy, or time on topics that are not in the Green / Yellow Quadrants as Blue and Red tend to be both a time and energy sink. Blue Quadrant I might focus on a more meta "lets try to improve how we handle this topic" effort to move it from Blue -> Green, but the topic itself is not something I'd humor in the environment / way it is currently being talked about

It doesnt mean to send asks or comments arguing with me for being anti endo.

It doesn’t mean trying to justify being pro endo to me or trying to get me to support the belief that you’re endogenic.
