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.

i have seen so many accounts claiming to be child soldiers as well as having gone thru sex trafficking, im not sure if theyre all lying but its statistically unlikely for all of them to be, especially considering most of them are female too (and im not talking about using the word child soldier metaphorically i mean they r literally saying they were child soldiers)

its making me rlly paranoid would rlly appreciate if some1 could tell me if theyre lying or not .·°՞(˃ ᗝ ˂)՞°·. its crazy that so many of them put no trigger warnings too ive been flashbanged by beastiality and child gang rape and infant rape way too many times

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