we were posted maybe a month ago? said post vanished after a while though

Bro you *spread* misinformation, what? 😭

which in all honesty is both surprising and not

rant under cut

Despite obvious efforts of trying to be serious, they often shoot themselves in the foot. They could have a valid reason for calling out a post that's clear misinfo, but then they turn around and spit out misinfo too, just in a different way.

Not to say people WITH the disorder can't accidentally spread misinfo, we absolutely can! It's a very possible, and more likely than not, situation to happen. With any disorder too, not just dissociative disorders.

Oh I also get a little chuckle when ppl on there are like "I used to be a faker...." Alr buddy lmao good job I'm so proud of you, I guess.

It's time to talk about the how internet fakeclaiming pixielocks have impacted the overall DID community as well as the fakeclaimer community themselves.

So hi, I'm Morgan and I'm a part of an autistic DID system and I also love watching Pixielocks and her content.

With Pixielocks DID content I (and others in the system) finally felt seen. Pixielocks was and still is something our system strives to be, the path of functional multiplicity, cosplay and fashion design, colorful perspective and rainbow surroundings. Being able to look up to someone like that and watch them also talk about the ups and downs of the disorder we also deal with means so so much to us.

And you know what fucking sucks? To lose that sense of comfort, because fakeclaimers want internet saviour points and clout. And I completely understand Pixielocks side too, it's a good business strategy to just steer away and let the negative attention die down. (Side note: I still very much enjoy Pixielocks non DID content) But my point is that those who fakeclaimed Pixielocks DO NOT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE WITH DID. They are the attention whores. They don't care about us one bit.

The internet's obsession with fakeclaiming anything unusual (or dare I say autistic traits) is damaging and disgusting. Places like r/systemcringe and r/FDC will only ever accept those whose DID is pure suffering and whose idea of healing is final fusion - provided they don't have uncommon gender identities, neopronouns, fictives, etc of course.

Oh and a side note - if you're a system who engages fakeclaiming others or in r/FDC or r/systemcringe you're a mean fucking cunt and I hope the validation from people who hate us for existing is worth it.

systemcringe is overwhelmingly 30+ year olds, at least their core posters on this discord are.

The old owner (clozadream) was a 12 year old girl pretending to be a 30 year old gay black man

at multiple points their server was home to and welcomed many terfs because they were “recovering fakers”. One of said terfs had previously scammed a different discord server because they claimed to need good money and instead used to buy the materials to make a fur suit. That person was also a Nepeta introject.

They call(ed) “fakers” systards in private chats.

they’ve been told about the amount of GENUINE ACTUAL CHILDREN that they have harassed into self harm and that’s why they tightened their rules about what information can be shown even though it’s extremely easy to find posts without usernames (I found your blog from seeing it posted there. its easy.)

Stigma and Misunderstanding of DID

Skepticism toward real cases: Increased prevalence of people pretending to have DID can lead to skepticism among the general public, healthcare providers, and even family members of those with legitimate diagnoses. This can make it harder for individuals with DID to receive support or be taken seriously.

Media misrepresentation: Public attention on fake or exaggerated cases may perpetuate harmful stereotypes about DID, framing it as an attention-seeking behavior or entirely fictitious.

Erosion of Trust in Mental Health Diagnoses

Undermining clinical authority: If the perception grows that DID is easy to fake, it may erode trust in the ability of mental health professionals to accurately diagnose and treat complex disorders.

Distrust in self-reporting: Since DID diagnosis relies heavily on self-reported symptoms, widespread fabrication could undermine confidence in the self-reporting process for all mental health conditions.

Resource Allocation Challenges

Misuse of resources: Mental health services are already stretched thin. If people pretending to have DID seek therapy or participate in support systems meant for those with real disorders, it diverts resources away from those who genuinely need help.

Research setbacks: Falsified cases can contaminate clinical studies, distorting research data and hindering progress in understanding and treating DID.

Harm to Advocacy and Awareness Efforts

Delegitimizing advocacy: Advocacy organizations for DID and trauma-related disorders may face backlash if people perceive them as platforms for attention-seekers rather than legitimate support networks.

Reduced funding: Public and institutional support for DID-related research and resources may decline if the disorder is viewed as overdiagnosed or fabricated.

Ethical and Interpersonal Consequences

Exploitation of trauma narratives: Pretending to have DID often involves mimicking behaviors and experiences associated with severe trauma, trivializing the real pain and suffering of individuals with histories of abuse or trauma.

Interpersonal harm: People pretending to have DID may manipulate others, whether consciously or unconsciously, by leveraging the perceived vulnerability associated with the disorder to gain sympathy, attention, or social capital.

Online and Social Media Impact

Normalization of misinformation: Platforms like TikTok and YouTube have seen a surge in content creators claiming to have DID, often presenting the disorder inaccurately. This can spread misinformation and confuse viewers about what DID actually entails.

Fetishization and trivialization: Public displays of DID-like behavior can lead to its fetishization or reduction to entertainment, further disrespecting those living with the condition.

Legal and Institutional Consequences

Legal abuse: Individuals faking DID might exploit the diagnosis in legal contexts to evade accountability, creating precedent for suspicion and making it harder for genuine cases to be considered seriously.

Policy resistance: Policymakers may become less likely to prioritize funding or protections for trauma-related disorders if they are perceived as prone to exaggeration or fraud.

While the intent behind pretending to have DID may vary—from seeking attention to exploring identity—the consequences are overwhelmingly harmful.

• Coined 4 genic types (oscillgenic, rengenic, addgenic, tomangenic)

• We have many disorders (Autism, ADHD, major depressive disorder, seizures, CFS, C-PF-DID, CPTSD, dyslexia, tic disorder, and chronic pain)

• While we may have complex poly fragmented DID we also are heavily endogenic

• We have MANY introjects including some from dsmp

• We like to think of ourselves as multiple people in one body (woah, shocker)

• We have many headmates that come and go, sometimes they're only seen ONCE and then never again. Sometimes they're only seen once every handful of months. It's normal for us 🤷‍♀️

• Multiple in sys relationships

• Trauma from our headspace (that we recognize as real to some extent) it can get crazy in here

• We believe some headmates had lives before coming here, before becoming a part of us.

• We believe some of our headmates can shift through our headspace and their universe.

• We've had MULTIPLE system restarts where one past host and a handful of past headmates tried to leave our (past) headspace because it wasn't safe for them there.

• We have MANY things that could make us "cringe" or "fake" and honestly we genuinely don't care about being called either XD
