ah thats okay!! i really don’t mind discussing it except that id really rather not actually talk to the t//ulpa or sou/l/bonding folks because we dont get along haha.. and id rather not hear them defend their appropriation/send me more anon hate

uh idfk. i haven’t seen one treat them like imaginary friends, all the ones i’ve seen have appropriated DID/OSDD terminology (fronting, system, alters, etc.) and they group themselves in with DID as part of the “system community” and some of them constantly try to compare their t/ulpa (which THEY made up on purpose) to having a mental illness.

because of this, I don’t agree with the t/ulpa community as a whole. however i am aware that some people use it as a coping mechanism for a real disorder, especially schizophrenic people, who use it as a form of auto-hallucinatory training. in this specific situation, i guess wouldn’t have anything against the t/ulpamancer in question so long as they didn’t appropriate DID.

buuuut that’s usually not the case, given that the community on tumblr as a whole is really shit and appropriates DID left and right. people who follow in their footsteps are bound to pick up our terminology and use it for themselves.
