A DID system that´s tired of your bullshit

That's something that the community talks about a lot.

It can help alters express themselves by finding a picture close to what they look like, using a doll maker to make themselves, etc. And yeah, alters can be introjects of real people. But for everyone in a system to be an introject of a celebrity is a huge red flag. 

Especially with the increased popularity of DID youtubers, this has become more common. People have been emulating their behavior and trying to present themselves like they do. There's also still a lot of misinformation in the community, and it makes it worse.

Are some of these people roleplaying? Probably, especially the very young ones. They're most likely mistaking their ego states for alters. But some of these people probably aren't, and are just trying to be a part of the community by doing things everyone else is doing.

Example : White people saying they are/were black people in their past lives is super gross. POC have repeatedly come out and said that its disrespectful and rude to actual POC and that they are uncomfortable with it. I am a POC, I have dark skin and ethnic features and I have been subject to racism by fucking whites who sneer at me and literally look at me with disgust when they see me speaking spanish. Ive been called the n word by whites and been told that I should go back to mexico (Im not even Mexican) and Ive been treated by white people as if I was a domestic servant. People should not be iding outside of their race. You will never actually know what its like to experience being outside of your race and you cant just pick and chose which parts of a character you want to be. 

I know. Im a therian, I understand the differences between not being able to chose your theriotypes and chosing to ID as a certain thing

However, disabled people have expressed repeatedly how angry and uncomfortable it makes them when able bodied people are kin of/with disabled characters. The best thing you can do is acknowledge that yes, its ableist, and that the best thing you can do is distance yourself from it. Even if you cant control it, you still have a responsibility to listen to marginalized people and change your actions.
