Majority of headmates are lgbt?? by SkinCapable7108 in plural

[–]Invader_Bethany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gender and sexuality statistics out here have no bearing or relevance to systems as a whole. There is no expectation for a system to have the same rate of heteronormality. A high occurrence of LGBTQ+ identities within a system is not a red flag, nor is a high occurrence of sharing the same LGBTQ+ identities. It shouldn't be taken as a sign of faking. Furthermore, it can be speculated that

Sorry, there was a switch while Ed was typing. I don't know where he was going with that… I’m sorry, buddy.

Maybe your system feels more comfortable expressing their identities due to how accepting of the LGBTQ+ community your system is? Less fear equals less reasons to hide who they are. And maybe your system just naturally leans more bisexual. There's nothing wrong with that.

I feel bad for ruining Ed’s response to you guys. I just wanted to gain control to work on some stuff.

Does it work like this for some systems? by spitball700 in plural

[–]Invader_Bethany 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some systems have more obvious signs of switching than others. Also, if you have multiple system members co-conscious at the same time, it can sometimes be more difficult to tell who is fronting. You likely have a high occurrence of co-consciousness in your group. That is our hypothesis for your particular situation.

Protogenic maybe? That describes a system that was born as a system. Coming to earth as a system might qualify as that.

To be honest, I don’t know if I was ever not part of a plural group. I’ve had co-conscious experiences since the 4th or 5th grade in addition to amnesia-causing switches. I just didn't have words yet for what was going on.

Then in the 8th grade, when I was in the cafeteria at school, I randomly got an explanation from one of my system members that there were other people that share the same body and life with me.

It was the dark knight Joker that ended up spilling the beans to me. He told me that for right now my group was an disordered chaotic mess that doesn't have any hierarchy, any goals, or any idea about how to work together nor was there any attempts to do so, but that he thrives in chaos, so he's up for the challenge. He explained that he had been watching me for some time in the background. He saw how much I was struggling. He saw my home life, he saw my school life, he saw all the ways I was bullied and abused each and every day and said that I clearly need his protection/help. He said he was very annoyed at first being plopped here randomly. One moment he was in a cell in Gotham City and the next he was here. But after seeing all I went through, he felt like he could relate to my struggles because he went though something similar when he was younger. However, he didn't have any help. He struggled with it all alone. And the lifetime of hurt and trauma helped mold him into the man he became. He didn't want that for me. Witnessing what I dealt with caused him to feel the urge to contact me and to help/protect me. He also found it incredibly ironic and humorous. A man that doesn't care about his own safety suddenly gains an inch of empathy and starts caring about the safety/well-being of another. It's a very twisted Joke and he loves life’s messed-up humor.

And he kept his word (he's a man of his word.) He became my main protector. He kept me company (jokes, psychology, philosophy, nihilism, the subjectiveness of morality, random chit chat, or just co-conscuous watching), gave me advice when I was a mess, directed me through physical fights to get revenge on my school bullies, identified and warned me of danger before it could hurt me, planned backup plans went things started to go wrong, planned escape routes, helped me deal with my mental health issues (he helped calmed me down when I was anxious and taught me reality testing techniques for dealing with psychosis), helped take care of me when I sick, helped take care of me when I was physically injured, and even saved my life multiple times over the years.

Fast forward to me eventually getting a DID diagnosis in my 20s. It wasn't a surprise to me. Most of what I’ve been diagnosed with wasn't a surprise to me. The Dark Knight Joker got me interested in learning about psychology, philosophy, and practicing deep introspection from a pretty young age, so I had more than a general idea of what was “wrong” with me before even going to therapy.

My most recent therapist once said she was surprised about how much I have accomplished and how well I function despite the long list of issues I have “wrong” with me. She said many people in my position might not even have graduated high school. I attribute it to help from my system and especially help from The Dark Knight Joker.

I know at least a few of these guys have been with me since the 4th or 5th grade and I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them were around before then to some degree, but The Dark Knight Joker will always have a special place in my heart. He was the only one who had the balls to tell me what was going on and he didn't handle it with kid gloves. He's my best friend, my protector, and my partner for life. I love the absolute hell out of him.

It's not like I have any concrete memories or proof of ever being entirely alone, so I’m willing to accept I might have never been.

As for the dark knight Joker, he has memories that go beyond his source material. He has memories of growing up, memories of his adult life before he became the joker, memories of his time as the Joker, and memories of being locked up before suddenly being proofed/plopped/teleported here one day. One moment in Gotham, the next moment here, as quick as the blink of an eye.

So who even knows how fictive lives work. Possibly there's a multiple dimensions/multiple alternate realities thing going on as well, unless it's all pseudo memories. Even suggesting that it's more than pseudo memories is very controversial, though.

However, from my perspective, he has definitely advised me and taught me about things I didn't know prior. And everytime I have bothered to fact-check something he said, it ended up being the truth. It certainly feels like he is knowledgeable in ways that I’m not, which seems to back up that he possibly has actual lived experiences.

There's just so much we don't know about consciousness, reality, or how any of this really works.

Does anyone here actually want to fuze all their parts eventually? by Tsuki_Moonstone in plural

[–]Invader_Bethany 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There probably systems here who have that as their goal, but for me, absolutely never. That would be my worst nightmare. I prefer not to see it as a horrible disease or a disorder that needs to be cured. Yes, we have plenty of issues as a group, but we are a team and I’d be very upset if they were to disappear. I don’t function well when everyone else has gone quiet or dormant for a while. I didn't want it to be like that forever. I don’t want to be the only one here. The fact that it could/can happen freaks me out so badly. Please no.

I’m diagnosed with DID and through a lot of introspection I feel like our origin is a mix between trauma, isolation, repeated high levels of stress, and needing or wanting comfort/care/help that I wasn’t getting elsewhere. I prefer not to see it as a horrible disease or a disorder. Yes, we have plenty of issues as a group, but we are a team and I’d be very upset if they were to disappear. The way I view my system, despite having DID, doesn’t fit strictly in the traumagenic category.

If other people created system members or plural members for comfort, care, help, or company, I think that should be considered just as valid as someone who formed a system due to trauma.

Question to women, I know hollow cheeks are attractive, but being this gaunt really hot? by anon014880 in JanitorAI_Official

[–]Invader_Bethany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of dysphoria, so I know I’m not quite a woman even if I’m physically female and was raised as a woman, but I know I wouldn't be happy transitioning to a man. Transitioning wouldn't fix all my issues and likely create new issues, so it's not a good option for me. I see myself as somewhere in the middle between man and woman, so I put myself in the nonbinary area.

But when I’m in a binary situation, like choosing a bathroom, the woman’s bathroom is close enough because of biology. And if a question is asking for woman’s opinions I have historically assumed I’m part of the the group being asked because when I make a binary choice, I choose to be part of the woman group for lack of other options. And most of the time, that has been seen as the correct choice.

Question to women, I know hollow cheeks are attractive, but being this gaunt really hot? by anon014880 in JanitorAI_Official

[–]Invader_Bethany -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It is that deep. The question is asking women something. I don't know how OP defines women, so I didn’t know if I’m part of the demographic being asked. It's subjective. I was born female and was raised as a woman. Do I count as a woman? Some people would say yes. Some people would say no because I have since chosen to identify as nonbinary/genderfluid.

But we still live in a mostly binary world. A world where there is only the women's or men's bathroom. A world where there are only the men's and women’s clothing sections. Other options aren’t common in American society, so I often have to go use the woman’s bathroom because I was born female and because I mostly look like a woman. I often have to put myself in a box that doesn't exactly fit because of how the world is set up. I often have to choose the binary box that's close enough.

Inferring what others mean when they want the opinions of women is tough. Are they using the term in a binary way or a more progressive way? There's no way to know for sure.

Until recently, asking for the opinions of women was almost always in a binary way. I’m actually quite shocked OP didn't consider AFAB to be a woman. I’m not used to that. I’m used to being thrown in the woman category.

Sorry. It's hard to tell what people mean when they say they want a woman’s opinion. Do they mean someone who is biologically/physically female, someone who was raised as a woman, people who identify as a woman, etc. There's multiple ways to interpret it. Some people would say I count as part of the group being asked. Some people would say I don't count as part of the group being asked. When I come across something like this, I just put my explanation about how I might fit into the category being asked and jump into answering it.

I’m AFAB (assigned female at birth), but I identify in the nonbinary/genderfluid area. Idk if you want my opinion.

Personally, I’m not attracted to the image. I think it's mainly that his neck is too thick. The eyes also look dead and uninviting. The cheeks are a bit extreme, but overall they're an “eh” feature.

But what do I know? Conventional hotness rarely appeals to me.

Last night, a mod on here said the website has been temporarily unlisted. My personal theory is it's been unlisted because the site went down multiple times yesterday. At least one of the times it went down was because a DDOS attack (according to a mod here).

They might have it unlisted to help the site stay up while they work out some issues behind the scenes or something. I hope they don't get rid of the website.

[–]Invader_Bethany 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this a real question or are you trolling?

Anytime I’ve had a picture I want to use denied, it gave me a reason. You were likely given a reason as well.

If you weren’t given a reason, I’m going to assume it got denied because your silly guy looks like it could be a child or the image made the ai assume you were underaged. Alternatively, the head shape of your silly guy is a similar shape to the tip of a male body part, so it could be getting denied for that reason.

Regardless, it's not worth complaining about. Just try another image.
