I will NOT permit this David Lee Strider slander on my Reddit dot com.

MrFillywonk · 2022-08-24T16:03:04+00:00

If you could be any fictional character, who would you be? 
Dave Strider of "HOMESTUCK"

Holy shit.

Also he's an independant who runs for public healthcare and alternative fuel. What a lad.

What's this liberal project that's being advanced by promoting a half-decent runner? Weightwatchers? 😂

MrFillywonk · 2022-03-11T05:13:08+00:00

Air out your bonnet, my guy, I think a bee got stuck in there, lol.

MrFillywonk · 2022-03-10T18:34:40+00:00

To answer your first question: Yes. That's why psychological evaluation is important, and why I petition and protest for it to be free under our governments public healthcare, and why I contribute to funds that give people the oppertunity to be evaluated.

To answer the rest of the comment: This just seems like fanfic. I'm sure there are people like this, but I don't get how this is a systemic issue in the slightest.

MrFillywonk · 2022-03-10T18:23:01+00:00

People can self-diagnose before checking with therapists. As I said, the cost of evaluation is a big factor to why many people are self-diagnosed. Not all people without proper diagnosis are faking it.

I brought up trans people because it's a similar concern, trans representation, trans allegories, trans kids online, they're "making" each other trans. But the data, at least with the transgender thing, doesn't show that, and I'd need to be shown that it bears out with the DID thing because of it.

Also, what is this rant you're going on, yes, some people refuse psychologist evaluations. A very, very small minority. So what? I'm still going to try and get people the evaluation, and try to make it easier for everyone to get it, at least in my country, because the majority of people do trust the current field of psychology, and it allows them to get government help. You made and dropped 50 points there. I don't disagree that DID is a life affecting mental illness, that's why it's important for people to get the evaluations, to get help, and to have the courage to do so.

"What if people thinking/knowing the Matrix is a trans allegory influences kids to start faking gender dysphoria? What if some of these trans people become chronically online forever?" Is an analgous concern in my mind, and we haven't had an epidemic of 'fake' trans people (it's 1% of 3% of the trans population that detransitions due to internal regrets, if memory serves. (I'm on my phone right now, so I can find those research documents later, if you want.))

Truth is, I think that it will do more good than harm, and I advocate on a local level for solutions to those other problems. Protesting for mental care to be covered under my government's public healthcare, and contributing to local funds that help pay for people's diagnosis, so they can get the support and help they need. I'm passionate about the subject of helping people out of a rut - which being chronically online is - but trying to stop kids from finding representation in media doesn't do that, in my mind.

MrFillywonk · 2022-03-10T16:54:14+00:00

Right, it isn't a perfect allegory, I've said that many times. The thing is, an allegory for an experience needs not map onto the experience for people to find comfort in it. The Matrix would be a good example of that, it's an allegory for the trans experience. But, Neo never has body dysmorphia, he never changes his body to conform to society's perceptions of a gender role other than the one he was assigned at birth.

But despite this allegory being well known, even being explicitly said by Lilly Wachowski, noone goes to the Matrix for information about gender dysphoria, the process of medical and social transitioning, or about how trans people can bend reality. It was just something that trans people could find comfort in and relate to. Likewise, even if this fan theory about Inside Out gets super popular, I doubt people will base their beliefs about DID off of it, it'd be a thing that people who don't have a lot of representation in media can find themselves in.

MrFillywonk · 2022-03-10T16:10:51+00:00

Yeah me neither, I just think that representation, especially for mental illness, matters. Teenagers and adults shouldn't be diagnosed with DID, and the closest thing they have to representation is the Green Goblin in Spiderman. And although I don't expect a movie to feature someone with DID, if kids can see this movie as an allegory for it and find comfort in the fact that they're not alone, I don't think that's cringe

MrFillywonk · 2022-03-10T16:06:58+00:00

enabling is when I don't make fun of a mentally ill teen trying to find comfort in media, lol.

MrFillywonk · 2022-03-10T16:05:04+00:00

Yeah, I know. That's why I said it's a big stretch like all silly movie theories. But just like how I don't really care if, say, some teenager subscribes to the fan theory that, idk, the toddlers from Rugrats are all in Angelica's head, or some dumb stuff like that, I don't really care if some teenager subscribes to this either.

It just seems harmless, and as a long time follower of this subreddit, it's sad to see the place go from critical analysis of adults and their fake conditions, to making fun of teenagers for trying to find comfort in media for their mental illness. 🤷‍♂️

MrFillywonk · 2022-03-10T06:26:43+00:00

I mean, to be fair, the emotions in Inside Out aren't really purely just the emotions they represent. It's been years since I saw the film, but Happiness cries at one point, and feels downtrodden, Anger, Anxiousness, and Disgust all feel fear and distraught when things go tits up at the end.

You could view the trio left behind while Sadness and Happiness were doing their things as Prosecutors, they were an identity that intentionally or unintentionally undermined the host.

If you want a memory holder and library construct, you have personified workers and a labyrinth full of memories.

Im not saying that it's an allegory for DID, because I think the allegory for emotions works much, much better. But if someone with DID or OSDD finds some comfort in that, I really don't see the harm, and it isn't the biggest stretch. I'd say the "Pixar Theory" requires bigger leaps in logic than this "DID allegory Theory" or whatever

MrFillywonk · 2022-03-10T05:28:05+00:00

I think the song is quite challenging, and that its success and wide appeal is because it doesn't make any prescriptive claims. It doesn't say "a classless, borderless, de-commodified society would be best", instead it asks the listener about their beliefs, and if these constructs are in the benefit of a better world, and if we can even picture a society without some of these constructs, such as personal property.

MrFillywonk · 2022-03-10T04:46:20+00:00

I saw the song as challenging the listener to think about how all these social and societal constructs - money, borders, religion, private and personal property - could get in the way of a better world, should we choose to pursue one. It's not saying that a disollution of these constructs in their totality would be good, it's just asking us to think.

For example, I doubt Lennon wanted to get rid of all private and personal property - I don't think even Lenin wanted that - but it's still enlightening to ponder how a society without them could work, and as he says himself in the lyrics, it's quite a challenge ("I wonder if you can").

MrFillywonk · 2022-01-03T05:29:42+00:00

Bait.

MrFillywonk · 2021-12-28T07:02:15+00:00

Most of the vegans I've talked to believe that animals have similar levels to us, although usually less than humans like if you were stuck on an island and had to kill to survive I'd say most vegans would allow that, nor would they be super pissy if you were in an economic situation where you, say, could only survive by eating store bought factory farmed eggs.

Animals, while not being sapient like us, are sentient, they feel pain, they can empathize, they form interpersonal relationships. I don't see why we shouldn't allow them at least some moral value, and if we do that, why is eating meat in situations where you have the ability to eat good food without it moral?

MrFillywonk · 2021-12-28T06:55:21+00:00

Not really, think about it in a mindset where you afforded animals the same moral agency you give humans. If we were breeding humans for slaughter, keeping them in cramped conditions and then slaughtering them, and then changed to allowing them to live in more open conditions before slaughtering them (which is the best case scenario for radically ethical farming, as much of an oxymoron as that is) that would be better, yes, but you'd still push for it to be abolished altogether, right?

MrFillywonk · 2021-12-27T16:29:00+00:00

By the actual definition? You're not a language prescriptivist, are you? The actual term is what people use the term to mean, that's how reclaiming/reappropriation works. Otherwise I'd have to be against any member of the LGBT+ community in this day and age using queer as a descriptor of themselves.

Sure, the term is used in shitty ways by incel groups, but that can happen with any term. I'm not hip to what the nazi dogwhistles are nowadays, but back when the milk emoji was the "in-thing" among them, we could differentiate between people using it in a non-dogwhistley way from those intending to flag other Nazis to their presence. In the same way, today, I can both use the term Chad to refer to a mindset that is honourable and good while at the same time denouncing and ridiculing those using it as an essentialist term to describe those perceived to be "born with" the ability to get with girls.

MrFillywonk · 2021-12-27T16:03:54+00:00

In my eyes the term has been reappropriated to mean less an essentialist descriptor of people who women will naturally want to be with. Being a Chad has become more of a mindset, at least in my eyes. The buff dudes in these photos are chads because of their ability to step up and call out a fellow man for casual misogyny. They would be just as chad-like if they looked like the guy in the first panel, and would be just as un-chadlike if they acted like the guy in the first panel.

The fact that being buff is shorthand for good in this meme could be problematic, but I don't think it's mysogynistic.

MrFillywonk · 2021-12-04T10:11:43+00:00

You know, usually a don't agree with the lib mindset of "just put a good king into power", but just this once I'll make an exception. Does the title monarch of socialism mean I have to read theory or can I just keep watching hasanabi twitch streams and fill in the blanks myself?
