Don't wanna be a party pooper system but the treatment of doey by the fandom isn't just becoming weirdly hyper focused on infantilizing ALL of doey's alters, not just Jack, but it's absolute obsession with tearing them apart back into singlets(non-sys) is 100% just becoming ableism at this point.
The first time I saw people making each of them have their own bodies by making smaller doey's with their colors to match, It kinda irked me but I could look at it through a lense of someone who isn't a system and see why it wouldn't occur to them that they are basically ableizing him/removing his mental disability in favor of cute tiny ones. It is bad to basically erase his mental disability period, it doesn't matter the reason.
But now it's super fucking common and it's starting to just piss me off. There's something so uncomfortable and insidious to specifically watch non systems go out of their way to physically rip a system apart into different bodies to make the character a singlets and then infantilize all of them so they can treat each of them like different people. It's like if an au came about that specifically gave a wheelchair bound character cyborg legs so they could walk and basically turned them into an able-bodied character and then everyone starting doing that au everywhere all the time. Y'all only think this is ok because you have no systems in your life period or none who will push back against you and DID/systemhood is a demonized and rarely understood mental disability.
Yes, it is weird and ableist that singlets are specifically obsessed with re-splitting doey into individual people. Not just in an ableist sense of making doey a singlet but also it's just kind of... Ooc? We see and hear the alters interact with each other and soothe each other and if doey wanted to be separated where each alter had their own hunk of dough, he would of done it by now. He would of split off on his own either at some point before we got there and Poppy's playtime would of mentioned it or while we were there. Except he doesn't and although there are plenty of alters within numerous systems who, if given the chance, would happily have a body of their own but that is not a common desire and certainly not the entire system. Not to mention this au is usually meant to be post-chapter 4 after doey's death. Are y'all literally killing the system to save the alter?? Like?? Healing for most systems isn't final fusion, it's healthy multiplicity. Also the fact y'all are basically implying that the only reason doey didn't like you was because he was a system and the only way for him to heal is to be forcibly ripped apart are quite literally just ignoring that doey was justified in attacking the player. Y'all blew up safe haven and killed everyone he loved, you would just have a bunch of really angry little doey's... That are all still systems. Even then to portray that the only way he could "heal" ( be nice to you as the player) is being turned into a singlet is quite literally starting to tip into eugenics.
I don't want to imply or suggest malice where it's not but there's something so poetic and gross about singlets just assuming that they know what's best for a system and the choice they immediately come to is completely ableifying him, separating his alters into their own bodies and force him to be happy about it. Out of all the aus that could become popular, their choice is to erase someone's disability. Oh, and infantilize every alter into tiny doeys that their grey ex-worker y/n must take care of like literal children... Despite 2 of them being older teens?
The Au is ableist, stopping splitting doey up. You are basically erasing his disability and trying to portray it as him "healing". Y'all look like the people who constantly give characters with amputations prosthetics even though the media showed them being happy without them then basically turn it into a normal arm with a sleeve and a joke.
It's just ✨ ableism and disability erasure ✨ at some point.
Non-systems/singlets in the Poppy's playtime fandom please reblog this, more people need to be aware of the implications they make with this au.
