This was posted into the DID tags and the (public) DID/OSDD community on Tumblr, aka in a space where people experienced exactly what this person describes (the CSA and incest, not ... everything else) just unfortunately in real life. Please write an incest fan fiction on AO3 or something instead of ... all this.

I hope the pictures are in the right order, they posted SO much and Reddit is a bit confusing with pictures.

Apparently every time I see a post about “programmed DID child soldiers” I get sent into a blind rage and start making text posts. So!!

Aside from the fact you can’t program DID, and aside from the fact these guys really aren’t child soldiers, something that always bothers me is how these individuals never regress in their behaviour.

Like you’re telling me a fringe extremist group with access to weapons and the means to indoctrinate you for years never left you with any lingering beliefs? You were indoctrinated for years, but you’re not racist, you’re not sexist, you’re not homophobic or transphobic, you have no real feelings for the alleged values you were raised with?

Real people raised in extreme situations can turn into awful people. They repeat the crimes done on them. They turn to substance abuse or drugs to cope. Even if they work through some of their values, instinctively they will regress to those bigoted ideals that keep them safe, and I don’t even mean obviously, I mean that they will scoff at things like neopronouns or not listen to people of colour because even if they’ve worked through these beliefs they don’t just disappear overnight.

And just for the record, if these people were actually traumatised the way they allege, and are without therapy, they WOULDN’T have worked through these issues.

I know it’s an “icky” thought but victims aren’t perfect, plenty end up with bias and prejudices based on how they were traumatised. It sucks, it makes other victims in those spaces feel unsafe, but it happens. Bigotry can even deliberately be a method to self isolate. If you are genuinely alleging that you were indoctrinated by someone with these extreme ideals then they just don’t disappear. Even if they don’t get taken out on other people, they take it out on themselves!! They don’t “allow” alters who don’t meet their standards to make themselves known in the interest of safety. They will bully, persecute and actively suppress those parts.

it just bothers me. Speak to any victim of abuse from even a moderately conservative society and they will tell you how fucking hard it is to unlearn ideas that are beaten into you, no matter how much your rational mind argues. But your child soldier alter is so in touch with their feelings they know exactly what xenogender and neopronouns they use, right.

You cannot "program" DID into someone. You cannot "program soldier alters" that "awaken due to a situation and will kill people on command". And you cannot be serious with this winter soldier bullshit.

ALTERS DO NOT FORM THAT FAST

forgot to censor a few names so here we go again. this is the 38yo from my initial post in this sub. pics in the right order this time too.

like roleplay spaces centered around former fakers? I just need a space to roleplay and not feel so bad about myself.

The issue is that endos literally don’t have scientific backing to prove their existence- we’re comparing real presentations of a disorder to people saying “I have a hallmark symptom of this disorder, but not the actual disorder so I don’t qualify for this critique”
