PICS VIII: 10% LARGER THAN PICS VII

[McGrupp]

I fucking hate "plurals".  First off, MPS is so rare as to be ALMOST non-existent.  Second, it's cosplay at the expense of people who are genuinely mentally ill.

Sort of like if you dressed in a hospital gown and shaved your head.  Then told everyone you were a cancer patient, as an excuse to act special.

Then, the whole rape thing; there are no words.

Yeah. There's still a lot of controversy in medicine as to whether DID even exists due to the many overlaps with other psychological ailments. If it does exist it's rare. It tends to come up most often in court cases for the insanity defense. Also many of the high profile cases, such as 'Sybil' or Shirley Mason, who later confessed to making it all up.

Even the reputable doctors that do accept it as a disorder don't believe that it results in distinct personalities.

They keep changing the name of it.   

The only case I can recall was a guy with some form of brain damage who changed personalities twice.  Once on injury, and then much later on reverting to his original personality for reasons unknown.

People who change every 5 minutes are invariably bullshitters.

You're just being anti-magic. 

I think even the psych folk who believe in it don't buy into the 5 minuters. One of the articles I just pulled up said it best.

If you want to see mental health professionals spat with each other, ask a few of them what they think about dissociative identity disorder.

The way I understand it it's the psychiatry equivelent of going into a philosophy convention and talking about Ayn Rand (actually probably not that bad)

Now, I'd like to make a distinction between different personalities and different reality tunnels.  I switched to Doktor Howl here at the same time I made myself look at things differently in real life.  The personality was the same; the way perceptions were processed was intentionally and very slightly different.

Not the same thing at all, of course.

Agreed.

You're just being anti-magic. 

Proudly so.  Magic is the very opposite of what I strive for.  Magic is the denial of the world as it is, and a retreat from reality.  It is wish fulfillment fantasy.  There's enough of that already.

Depends on who got the grant money, I guess.

Every generation must, eventually, stagnate and become crotchety old Conservatives with social values affixed to a bygone era. The revolutionary thing about our generation is not that we will be free from this absolute and unavoidable reality, but that we can recognize its inevitability and therefore we are free to choose for ourselves which particular group is deserving of our unreasonable scorn.

Personally, I choose to regard Otherkin with the same distaste and contempt older, less wise generations reserved for the truly oppressed. I must, because I am a Human person, identify some group for whom I have no pity, no empathy, and no concern. For me, that group is the Otherkin. I don't care about them, I believe their personal identities to be fallacious, superficial, and just dumb, and I don't care if I sound like a bigot 20 years from now for saying so. Because, frankly, I'm right, and the future is fucked.

If the Future sides with the Otherkin, I won't be surprised. But neither will I be particularly moved by it. Maybe one day there will be some great Otherkin orator standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial giving some speech that moves millions of people to tears. I seriously doubt it, both because Otherkin are useless wankers who don't deserve to give speeches in public, and also because I'm fairly sure that the Lincoln Memorial will be off-limits to peasants by then. But if that does happen, I'll be in a rocking chair making offensive remarks about Otherkin marrying with Normals to embarrass my grandchildren. Because fuck those people.

You see, that's where we're different. When I'm Nigel, I really AM Nigel, just like everyone else, and when I'm TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR GENITALS I really AM TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR GENITALS.
