We tried ampersand and then immediately deleted/uninstalled it, because the assumption that "roles" are an inherent part of systems and that it is a default fillout rather than a custom fillout is bullshit.
System "roles", as far as we are concerned, really only serve singlet hedgemony by boxing us into a single dimension to make us, as PEOPLE, more digestible to them (singlets). Your external best friend is not defined as solely "the one who cries a lot and acts childish, so she must be a little!!!" and, speaking of littles, it's fucking weird for a trait like someone's age (transID or chrono) to be used as a "role" the way someone would use a shield.
Assuming roles are integral to systems, as a whole, makes you a fucking sysmedicalist. YOU can use them: but ask yourself why you feel the need to, first.
And we know sysmedicalists are going to get on our ass for this, pull us out of context, and the like — which only further proves our point for those who would actually search for the context and question the social norms around them. We win either way, we find like-minded systems, people start tearing down the bullshit institutions around us, or we make people INTENSELY uncomfortable having to be confronted with their own internalized plurmisia.
TLDR: roles, at the core, are a facet of exploitation and a way to make it easier for singlets to forcibly integrate systems again. You will NOT change our mind on this.
