I didnt fall down the alt-right pipeline, but it instilled in me the idea that I didnt have a mental illness, I was just looking for an excuse for my own flaws. I probably have ADD or something and i buried it for like 6 years until 3 days ago, and now i have to figure this shit out.
Also, yes, this page is my personal diary, what of it?
I see your TumblrInAction and raise you KotakuInAction
I think you just connected something for me… I browsed /r/TiA way, way early on, when it was mostly about otherkin and in that brief window before it really went to shit. I found my diary from high school and inside I have this huge crisis about whether I’m “really depressed or just lazy.” It was strange to read because I don’t remember how I got so many of those ideas or that it took me so long to realize I very obviously was mentally ill. Now I’m thinking I must have absorbed it from the anti-SJW culture.
While that might have been true from the start, and it certainly became more true over time; is worth noting that otherkin is a real phenomena, and making fun of that was terrible in itself.
Humans do have an innate proprioceptive body map, but I don’t know to what extent that explains otherkin; since in most cases an otherkin is an alter within a dissociative system.
Tw for the replies. People are discussing weightloss like suckers.
What about r/fatlogic. It’s a bunch of people with eating disorders being fatphobic to strangers online to cope with it. The circlejerk they form is amazing, always end up mentioning their own weights so you can think they’re skinny.
Edit: and damn, do people not like seeing fatphobia called out? Why downvote when I tell the truth. I’m not making fun of EDs, I have one. Why else would I know how it makes you sound like.
I’ve spent a lot of time in the ED communities on reddit (I also have an ED) and none of those places were ever as bad as fatlogic/fatpeoplehate. even proed had rules against a lot of that shit.
I know. Redditors are the worst of every community. I’m not saying pro-ed are any better, but at least they don’t make fun of other people. It’s scary how such an obvious pro-ed sub it’s still given a platform, Reddit doesn’t care at all.
Fellow ed sufferer, I give you my strength (つ・_・)つ
Any sub dedicated to making fun of someone will inevitably swing right if it wasn’t rightwing already
