would you mind doing a systemfluid flag heart? :00

Sure :)

Why are you an exclusionist? /Gen

I'm going to guess this is about endos.

The Endo community is extremely problematic. So to start with, Tulpas actually are culturally appropriating. Genuine Tulpas come from Buddhism and it's one of the highest levels of enlightenment in which you can essentially conjure someone before you for their wisdom. They are not inside your brain but instead more like a hallucination. The Buddhist community has said that the endo-tulpas are extremely harmful to their religion and even if they are being genuine about it, it's extreme malpractice.

Now for endos in general, they attempt to take over spaces and terms meant for genuine people struggling from a disorder. I'm the way I am because I was extremely abused as a child. It ruined my life. And it's extremely insensitive to claim that someone can have the same experiences as us by just choosing to. I tried to choose my way into being a singlet many many times and, guess what? It didn't work. Because it's a mental disorder. When endos try and replicate our experiences and claim to be the same, it's like a harmful charactature of it.

(Not to say that the struggles are entirely the same but here's an analogy that people will understand better). It's like if there was a community of Black people discussing their culture and struggles in the modern world and someone in blackface walked up and tried to say that they struggle too and use terms not for them. People would be appalled right? Because it's a horrifying way of saying that you can take the struggles of people who can't change what makes them struggle and acting like you can put it on for a day and it's the same. Because it's not. You can not fully understand the struggles of a community nor pretend to be inside of it when you aren't.

Endos also are extremely toxic. They send hate raids, death threats, and spam to anyone who speaks out about them. I'm expecting to get a ton of hate mail from this. I mean even this anon was to start discourse after I spoke about not supporting endos with another system./npa.

The majority of systems I have met have had horrible experiences with endos as well as do not support them. And I'm thoroughly convinced that any systems that do either: was given misinformation, is scared to speak out on them, doesn't like confrontation, or just isn't aware of the issue.

This would be exclusionist in the same was that excluding Super Straights™ from the LGBTQIA+ community was. Some things need to be excluded, because they aren't in the community. There are plenty of communities out there, and endos are free to find their own. But they aren't a part of the system community.

plural culture is witnessing systems in a server you’re in fakeclaim other systems and an ‘evidence of faking’ they use is something you and your sysmates fall under which makes you never want to talk in depth about your experiences ever again
