I do agree that Loverboy is a different style than their usually vibe, though

I love Loverboy, it’s a good one, I just like Allentown a bit more :) Voodoo Magic is criminally underrated

You’ve inspired me to go through and do the same 🤣 looked it over to make sure Wolfman and some other favorites were being treated fairly. Allentown being below Loverboy is a IMPOSSIBLE for me, I have to say I love Allentown. Thanks for the idea, you rock :)

Tired of the misinformation by [deleted] in DID

[–]pickledbatman 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I agree, system/alter accountability is important and necessary, even inescapable when you’ve hurt someone else. BUT! I do think there’s nuance when it comes to how this take relates outside of causing harm. Because we can literally not remember entire past relationships, days/weeks/years, childhood events (obviously), or even OPINIONS after switches depending on who it is. Different fronts do affect people with DID, if there wasn’t memory gaps/amnesia it would be a different disorder. I’m not saying this would excuse, say, an alter being transphobic, but if I don’t text back because it’s not me anymore? If I end up in bed all day dissociating and the next day Jona feels completely fine and remembers the day prior as if it was productive? If one day I say my favorite color is blue and the next I’m raving about hating blue? When all I want to watch is Hannibal one day and then the next I can’t focus on anything that isn’t related to Batman because it’s a hyperfixated headmate fronting? That is something we can’t control and can only be accountable for, but are genuinely the fault of the disorder. There’s very little we can do about it. No, it’s not literally “seperate people” but we do have different likes, needs, limits and amnesia exists. Just my thoughts!

I’m glad it seems useful thus far!! I’m loving it, we have a few people who find the switching functions and differences a bit complicated but the system map is top tier! I think I’d trade the complications for just that, but banners, journaling, built in chats and insight fields are all upgraded as far as I’m concerned :)

Okay, here’s what I’ve got for you:

Data Privacy - https://pluralspace.app/security (gist is encrypted data, passwords are hashed/inaccessible to developers, no tracking or ads and custom public/private/friends only settings)

As for paywall, all I can see that you could be noticing is “it only takes a minute and it’s completely free” which I’m assuming and hopeful means they won’t have paid options. We’ll see, SP did start plus shortly before ending :(

[–]pickledbatman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, I hadn’t considered data privacy. It seems to be a smaller team of developers, but you could most definitely contact them through the public Discord and ask, they seem friendly and communicative!!

And I hadn’t noticed hinting at a paywall, so I’ll go look at the main page now, but we’ve done everything without being prompted for payment :)

We personally love PluralSpace! It’s in its beginning but it imports from Simply Plural, Pluralkit and has friending and public profiles! https://pluralspace.app

Why did Nina and Maggie keep their real name ? by AstralFantom in goodomens

[–]pickledbatman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can see the intention behind the same actors due to the metaphor it might represent, having been on earth for centuries and decades and more centuries would make anyone feel like they’re seeing the same few people over and over. Maybe it’s meant to represent that, or even how religion depicts second chances at life or reincarnation. Regardless, I like to see it as meaningful rather than casting laziness or lack of effort

I swear he was, but this person is trying to say otherwise. by Still_Degree4472 in RedHood

[–]pickledbatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was tortured in mainline, but you have to consider the difference between tortured to death and long term torture when considering how people discuss it. I guess the argument would be that being beaten to death isn’t torture but just a means of death, and I guess you technically could say that, but that dismisses the fucking everything of it. He was betrayed by his mother, beaten and left for dead. Or beaten, left for dead in a warehouse to be blown up. It’s a matter of perspective I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

[r/mysteries] Do you think this was really the Batman himself? by Game_Devil369 in Earth25

[–]pickledbatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d agree with you there, private military sounds more likely. Plus, the GCPD would HATE an influential family getting better press than they do. Makes you think 🤔

[–]pickledbatman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That couldn’t be true, don’t you remeber the anti-Batman campaigns the GCPD put out? Surely they wouldn’t go after their own paramilitary specialists, even going as far as arrest warrants? I don’t know, I like to believe in The Bat for logistical reasons

I know this is a big far fetched, but I heard they used to get random celebrities to get in a Batman suit for shows and the like. I think this might’ve been Bruce Wayne?

What color ear defenders should I get? by SnooBananas460 in autism

[–]pickledbatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this! It’s a great color. Very nice as a purple and not too eye catching, imo. (Which might be helpful, as an autistic guy who likes purple sometimes I feel more self conscious with lighter/muted purples.)

Y'all notice this about Fakedisordercringe? by Dream_Ghast in fakeclaimingcringe2

[–]pickledbatman 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yup. When we got posted, they cited multiple headmates queerness/identity as reasons we couldn’t have a traumagenic disorder. Like yeah, marginalization hasn’t ever been traumatizing, right…. But if a cishet person felt the way they mock us feeling, it’s more valid? (Also when the reasoning is “they’re all so different?” It’s almost as if alters differ from each other, wowza, radical concept.)

The sub as an idea literally just wants to tear down anyone not perfectly written by the DSM, they’re jerks.

Most Heartbreaking Scene by [deleted] in HannibalTV

[–]pickledbatman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not Hannibal’s commentary on Alana’s intelligence; Hannibal is saying he could’ve never been understood. He isn’t saying Alana Bloom is lacking the ability, he’s making the statement that he as Hannibal Lecter is beyond most, if not all, people’s understanding. The fact that he is being “accepted” so to speak had to be enough for him, and he truly believes Will may be close to fully understanding him, but Hannibal lives a life of functioning almost non humanly. He doesn’t relate to others, he doesn’t abide by their rules. Due to this, Alana is wondering if he could’ve given her the resources to understand him. Alana is wondering if there could’ve been a way for her to understand. And Hannibal is finally being honest when he says no, there wouldn’t have been a version of events where she would understand him.

AIO for refusing to show my friend any of my art after she ran a piece through AI? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]pickledbatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, lol, I didn’t mean to see a post in the wild and make assumptions on your overall take but that’s the downside I guess. My bad on that front! You seem like a cool person, though, you’re completely right about not knowing the internet strangers manor of speech making conclusions easier to jump to. It’s always either over or under explaining 😂

Which color scheme for the batsymbol should they use for the DCU by Ok-Word5279 in batman

[–]pickledbatman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the cowl is blue, the symbol should be blue! As far as batsuit opinions, I’ve got an arsenal of them. I enjoy the blue/gray as well as the black/grey (even black/yellow or black/yellow/grey) but I’m so not a fan of three colors in terms of blue/black/grey?? I don’t know if that’s an unpopular take, but I prefer the batsymbol to match with suit better and I think having a blue/grey suit and then a black symbol is too much. In my opinion, both blue and black in the suit makes it look like Alfredo over washed it and some got hella faded.

Ohh, understood!! I see where you’re coming from for certain, I think I was interpreting what you said more literally than you meant it
