Another SJW subgroup dedicated to blogging about their "headmates." They claim to have multiple people in their head (but make sure to clarify that they aren't ALWAYS signs of mental illness) and make it out to be a gay old time, a life style that should be accepted rather than a mental illness that needs to be treated. They kind of glorify it and make it out to be something super fun and hilarious. (Oh no, two members of my headspace are having an argument again! Crazy shenanigans!)

Here's a full list of "Fictives" that they've "encountered," fictives being fictional characters who have "made contact with them." (The number of quotation marks in this sentence should probably indicate how dumb this bullshit is.)

So yeah, people who seem to be pretending to have symptoms of mental disorders to feel special and are demanding that everyone accept that. I think this is a new low even for tumblr.

Lots of people who don’t really understand plurality properly will claim that we need to find ‘help’, and always through medical/psychiatric means; they’re implying that plurality itself is unhealthy. I don’t think that’s necessarily fair on systems who co-operate and aren’t inherently disordered, or systems which were once disordered but have since sorted themselves out with therapy or internal self-work. Just because something is different doesn’t mean it’s bad - I think that loads of people are convinced that just because something’s different means that it ought to be stamped out. Furthermore, what’s considered ‘mentally healthy’ or ‘mentally unhealthy’ has changed over time. The concept of madness is as political as it is internal as it is neurological.
