Y'know, I've never been put on r/fakedisordercringe, but it's a triggering as hell subreddit. I see real systems get fakeclaimed on there all the time, and it makes us feel like we can't be ourselves if we want to be recognized as a "real" system.
Fuck that subreddit. Yeah we have DSMP alters, yeah we have fictives, yeah we switch a lot, yeah we can communicate really well. Our experience isn't the same as everyone else's. Just because systems are different doesn't mean they're fake.
Be yourselves, guys. To hell with fakeclaimers. They're trolls with nothing better to do. I wish everyone a happy day.

People are so fucking mean. Reblogging so this gets more attention.
tw/cw ahead: ableism, fakeclaiming, and harassment of systems
hey fellow systems of tumblr.
as some might be aware there are safe spaces on discord for systems, and recently people from the r/fakedisordercringe subreddit have created a fake safe space to lure in systems for the purpose of mocking and harassing them. the server is called System City with a fancy font (𝕊𝕪𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕞 ℂ𝕚𝕥𝕪).
PLEASE share this, so no systems fall for this trap and get harrassed.
[image ID: a screenshot taken from a TikTok video, which in turn is a screenshot of the r/fake disorder cringe subreddit. the reddit post provides a screenshot of the fake discord server. the caption reads: my friend and I are going undercover as DID fakers, we made a server to specifically invite people we know are faking DID (like those with 200 plus alters that are all fictives.) We're just baiting them to join so we can laugh at them lol- end of ID.]
Yet another post that needs to be reblogged. I questioned if I was faking a system for YEARS despite actual psychologists, doctors, a therapist, and even other systems telling me I most likely had OSDD. Seeing this kind of post helps a lot.
hey hey
pssssst
guess what
you aren't faking
you aren't faking
you aren't faking
you aren't faking
you aren't faking
you aren't faking
you aren't faking
faking is a conscious choice you make.
Man I'm on a reblog spree today. Maybe it's because for once people are ACTUALLY MAKING SOME EFFING SENSE. I myself happen to be a system and look up stuff like this so I don't feel so alone all the time. OP is right, more people (especially singlets) should see this post.
This is a serious problem I've noticed people like us having. It needs to be addressed. We're real people too, gosh dangit.
i continually see posts telling people how to treat systems correctly and yet i STILL see systems being hurt by harmful behavior, whether singlets know it or not.
do NOT put whether an alter is an introject or not above them being a real person. as a singlet BY DEFAULT their source does not matter to you. treat them like you would anyone else until you know what they are and aren't okay with.
do NOT treat alters other than the host like they're lesser than them. everyone in a system is in the same boat, your host friend included. if you treat any other alter like shit the host (and everyone else in the system) WILL be affected.
do NOT trigger alters on purpose. i shouldn't even have to say this. we aren't fun little toys for you to play with, we're REAL FUCKING PEOPLE. i don't care how big of a fan of our sources you are or how stupid you think our triggers are. be a decent person and treat us like you would anyone else. it's dehumanizing to act otherwise.
do NOT make jokes about "waiting for [x] to split" to your system friends. this one really depends on the boundaries of whoever's in question, but joking about wanting us to split is insensitive. we don't split for fun or for you to interact with your favorite character. we split because it's how our brain knows how to cope. you're not in the place to make jokes about this unless you KNOW it's okay.
often times i see posts like this get mainly reblogged by systems, when singlets are the ones who perpetuate this behavior a majority of the time. singlets can (and should) reblog AND internalize this. we're real people with a real disorder. learn to treat us like human beings.
