my fandom is actually composed of quite a few plural collectives- and many of the fandoms we're in (besides a select few) have creators who are outwardly plural friendly and have supports for plural collectives (eg. pluralkit). so, id say in my experience personally in the few inbetweens ive interacted with my own fandom, its mostly been fine, besides the few outliers here and there, along with some strange ships id rather not think about again... - sun ☀
hello. systems. plurals. especially introtives/introjects/what have you. etc. i have a question! a few actually. what would you say your general experience(s) with fandom has been like? has it been well? did you feel respected in fandom spaces? id assume itd vary between them so if youve seen any patterns id like to know them as well. weird as hell post ik ik but work with me here
Kinda wild how most people generally recognize that the "too sick to go to school, too sick to watch tv/play games" mindset our parents had was bullshit but still impose essentially the exact same rules on disabled adults and scrutinize them for enjoying low-energy hobbies while being too fatigued or in pain to work a full time job (or any job at all)
me when a friend takes the plurality talk well >>>>>>>
forming an introject of a character from a media source you hate is just telling yourself over and over again "THEYRE NOT THEIR SOURCE THEYRE NOT THEIR SOURCE THEYRE NOT THEIR SOU-"
you aren't a bad person if your source is terrible.
you aren't a bad person if your source is an abuser.
you aren't a bad person if your source is a rapist.
you aren't a bad person if your source has a problematic creator.
you aren't a bad person if your source is anything, anything.
However, if you blame an introject for their source, tell them to kill themselves for it, treat them like their source when they tell you not too, push boundaries or persistently ask them questions, try and make it like they should be extremely ashamed and horrified 24/7 atwhere they introjected from. You are an asshole.
You're going about your day, doing the same things that you must have done hundreds of times before in almost the same way... And then you suddenly feel uncomfortable.
Welp, there goes your productivity. Now at least 30% of your focus will be held by the thorough investigation of what the heck triggered whose reaction because of what past experiences.
since apparently it’s Valentine’s Day, system appreciation post!

obviously no overly personal questions (such as talking about trauma n such, in-depth information about alters, bodily information or anything of that sort that might put us at risk) but generally most things are fine.
hey! im opening up a q&a from a traumagenic did system to both singlets and systems of all origins! feel free to click the ‘send us giggles and shits’ button to submit a question! we’ll try our best to answer to the best of our ability. just this once, we are willing to discuss and share our opinions on controversial topics among the plural community, given it is a CIVILIZED discussion. however, if these conversations end up turning sour, this will be removed promptly.
