kinda building off of your post about littles, but the system community (and some singlets putting their nose where they don't belong) is really restrictive about littles/syskids
i've seen multiple people say that syskids should never be on social media, that we shouldn't reveal our names (which has always confused me, the main problem with people revealing their names online is doxing, which doesn't really apply because most headmates don't use their names irl), that we always need direct supervision from an adult headmate, etcetera
theres an expectation that all syskids are one to one the same as real children, when really syskids maturity can vary wildly! in our system syskids are about as mentally mature as other headmates, just with bigger emotions and childcoded personalities
theres no one size all for how syskids should be treated, but the community acts like there is, and bars syskids from spaces they could exist in with no problem, like confinig them to one discord channel like your post said
idk. im sick of the community not taking me seriously and allowing me autonomy based off a narrow view of what syskids are
