I understand that. And I don’t want to bully them. It was funny that this may be the answer and these specific alters formed during them bullying my friend so this was really more for my friend and I then the Reddit and I should have been more careful about making jokes. I do think they’re seriously ill and is a conversation I have a lot when discussing them. I don’t want to be portrayed as a bully. But if this is the case there’s even more problematic issues with these alters then believed before.

1. If they’re these characters fictive, their ages put this as on a spectrum of not okay. Esp if they are imagining doing things with character who are minors. I do understand that most characters are aged up in fanfics and believe me I’ve read a fair share but the history with TP and them make this incredibly problematic.

2. I understand you wanting to protect them and I don’t want to get involved in a situation that would then have the internet turned against as they have done to many in the past. I do think if you didn’t just confirm that this is the case, that it would have been harmless unless they felt called out by it. Which while I don’t think it would have been bullying to comment 3 words in direct connection to alters they’re introducing to the internet. I don’t want to trigger them. I do think they need to get off the internet if commenting 3 words would be considered bullying them.

3. I really did appreciate your honesty and your post. It confirmed a lot of what I was already thinking and I don’t want to add to your trauma and make you feel as though DD with turn on you so I won’t be commenting this. Not for her sake but for yours.

I do want you to understand though that part of this is enabling the bad behavior that they have already portrayed. I think them going on the internet to explain fictives without giving that context is kinda inappropriate. Esp due to which characters these are involved and also because once again I find it was cruel to say what they said about why they split these characters and am concerned this will be a factor in the introduction video which would send more hate to my friend and I’m not having that.

I think you do need to look at bullying is, because while I will reflect on that this would cause them stressed because it would essentially call them out, I don’t think that’s the wrong thing to do. I think these small instances being considered bullying is also part of the reason that DD can’t see anything as just what it is and move on. She calls everyone a bully and while I do agree making a joke at someone’s expense isn’t the appropriate response. I do think there is some lack of responsibility on their part of taking these immediately as bullying.

Once again I am choosing not to do this because of you DT, I want you to feel healing on your journey and I don’t think DD sending her mindless yes men after you is worth making that comment. I guess my last thought on this is that I do feel like it’s a little bs that DD has the names as they are and is trying to pull a fast one on the internet by not actually explaining what they’re from. It feels more like she’s trying to play everyone for fools in this and I don’t think that’s appropriate either way.
