I had some friends in there though so I couldn’t really say anything. Of course the new “alter” immediately knew how to use Discord and PluralKit but pretended to still be getting used to the phone. Also, I’ve never heard of “clearance levels” in systems anywhere else.

CENSORED's guide on: How to spot a faker
There is a growing epidemic of fakers plaguing singlet communities. That's right, systems who are pretending to be singlets have been infiltrating more and more singlet spaces.
As we all know, this is extremely harmful because it delegitimizes singlethood and causes singlets to be taken less seriously.
With this guide, I hope to be able to shine a light on this very real and very serious problem, and give you the tools needed to spot fakers.
But first, we should define what a singlet is.
What is a singlet?
A singlet is a word for someone who is not plural. Instead of experiencing life as multiple people, a singlet experiences life as one lonely person, forever isolated in their head.
Loneliness is a chronic issue in singlet communities, with many having to seek out more and more external relationships to fill the void within themselves from not being able to share their heads with others.
Nobody knows exactly why singlets exist. It's generally believed that most people start out with personalities that are naturally divided between various states. Then something goes wrong during development that causes the personalities of some people to fuse together.
Please remember that being a singlet is a serious psychological condition that is being romanticized by fakers. This condition is not all fun and games. While some may romanticize having silence in their head with only a single voice, people who struggle with this condition will be the first to tell you how difficult the loneliness is.
Singlets are also not without hope. There are many solutions from internal family systems therapy to tulpamancy, but becoming plural can be a long and difficult process for many. And some may never achieve it, making a lifelong condition.
I want to be clear while making this that I do not mean any harm to real singlets who are suffering from this condition.
Why do people fake???
The truth is that fingers aren't a monolith. There are many reasons some might fake being a singlet.
Some do it for attention. Some do it to be quirky. Some do it to fit in with singlet communities.
And not everyone who fakes being a singlet does so intentionally. Some people might misinterpret normal plural experiences for signs of singlethood. They might misinterpret switches as "mood swings" or gender fluidity
They might misinterpret the voice of a headmate as a conscience or imaginary friend.
And many of these faker communities will perpetuate misinformation about singlethood in order to groom young systems into thinking they are singlets.
Use of self-referential pronouns
As you know, a lot of plural systems will use we/our pronouns when referring to the collective system. Often, a fake singlet will slip up and use one of these pronouns for themselves. This is usually a big giveaway that you are dealing with a fake singlet.
But there's another giveaway that is more subtle. That is overdoing singular self-referential pronouns.
Sure, it's normal for many singlets to use singular self-referential pronouns in some contexts, but they can also come off as trying too hard when they are using these pronouns constantly.
Real singlets exclusively use singular self-referential pronouns, but not too many to the point where it feels like being one person is their entire personality.
Romanticizing singlethood
Remember that being a singlet is a miserable, isolating experience. People who only speak positively about it are romanticizing being a singlet.
But also, people who try too hard to look like victims are faking too. Singlets should neither be too happy about being singlets, nor should they be talking too much about how miserable it makes them.
The same rules from before applies here too. Real singlets don't make having one single personality their whole personality.
Posting on r/systemscringe
This is actually one of the biggest giveaways, and kind of goes on from the last point. Systemscringe singlets notoriously are the type to romanticize being a singlet, often making long droning posts about how they used to think they were systems before discovering they were singlets. 🙄
Nobody makes "being a singlet" their whole personality like the fake singlets from that subreddit.
By the way, if anyone from that subreddit comes across this post and wants to share there, remember that I was put on their public figures list due to my criticism of the fake singlets from the subreddit in the past. So no need to censor my name! 👍
Imaginary friends, long-term daydream characters and writing characters with a will of their own
Sometimes, fake singlets will be gaslit by faker communities into thinking they're singlets and that their headmates are any of the above. While singlets can have short-term unintelligent imaginary friends and daydream characters, these do not actually possess any agency of their own. The singlet form of these are just under the control of the singlet, like a puppet the singlet can make dance around at their will.
Most singlets also don't carry imaginary friends into adulthood, because just imagining people you have full control over gets boring.
If someone possesses multiple people in their head with their own will separate from the host's but doesn't recognize that as plurality, this can be a form of "Imitated Singlethood" or even a delusion of being a singlet if the false belief persists in spite of evidence to the contrary.
Talking to "God"
Some fake singlets may present conversations that they've had with a headmate as a conversation with "God." Alternatively, an unintentional faker may have been gaslit into thinking their headmate is God.
To be fair, singlets are capable of prayer just like anyone else. There are plenty of singlets who will pray and get no response. These singlets just like talking to themselves as a way to fill the void of not being plural.
But if God talks back, that's usually an indicator that they are faking being a singlet, whether intentional or otherwise, because as we all know, God isn't real.
In fact, a lot of the singlet community likes to perpetuate misinformation about a God existing to convince systems they are singlets. They even make entire buildings, called "churches," to perpetuate this misinformation.
Having many "parts"
Some real singlets will use plural language, like describing having multiple parts.
When real singlets do this though, it is always meant as a metaphor. They don't actually have multiple parts with their own self-consciousness and agency. Those parts definitely don't have names of their own or separate memories.
Try to make sure that singlets are not using "parts" as a metaphor before fakeclaiming them. But when it's clear that their parts are more than metaphorical, feel free to fakeclaim away!
Spacing off and dissociating
This is something you can only really see in person, but a lot of fake singlets will have a habit of spacing off and staring into the distance while internally communicating with other headmates. They may have trouble focusing on what you're saying because someone is talking to the fronter at the same time.
Sometimes, real singlets will do this too if they're staring at a cellphone or other electronic devices. But fake singlets do this even when looking directly at you. And some fake singlets will even look at a cellphone while NOT reading or watching anything to give the illusion that the reason they're not hearing what you're saying is because of the phone rather than the headmate!
So if a singlet isn't hearing you while you're talking to them and they're looking at their phone, it may just be that the phones is distracting them. But it COULD be that they're having an internal conversation and they just want you to think it's the phone!
Trust your gut!
If you still aren't sure if someone is really faking being a singlet, just trust your intuition. That really matters more than anything.
Fakeclaiming, in the end, isn't about facts. It's not about science. It's not about what's objectively true. What is objective truth anyways? Philosophers have been debating things like this for millennia and still have no answers, so truth can't matter that much at all.
Fakeclaiming is about vibes and intuition.
People never fakeclaim because their accusations of faking are well-founded. They do it because it feels right.
In science, you often start with evidence and build a hypothesis around the evidence. With fakeclaiming, you should start with the opposite. You should decide that someone is faking being a singlet first, then use points like those in this guide to support your conclusion, while discarding any points that might contradict your pre-existing beliefs.
I hope this has helped. Wishing you all some happy fakeclaiming! 😁
I dont think it matters unless you have severe trauma symptoms or really meet the criteria within DID then that'll be the time it's understandable but I just dont know.. They're treating their DID like this typical plural bullshit if you know what I mean
finding out that you “actually” have DID because an alter makes a funny noise and then another shows up to talk to the first. how convenient !
I swear to god people don’t understand how DID works, they really do think these are individuals in their head and not separate parts of themselves but fragmented.
when I was younger I used to do something similar and convinced myself someone else was talking to me in my head, but I was responding as myself both times lmao. (I was like maybe 9 and DID wasn’t a concept to me) if I mentioned that to one of these people they’d be like “OMG YOURE A SYSTEM!!!1!1!”
I feel like I’m going INSANE
Obviously SA is traumatic and horrific, but you don’t need to be using DID as a scapegoat to mention it for attention on TikTok
TLDR: “alter” is based off ferret rapist and groomer irl, said ableist slur, and had random other alter apologize for it.
Imagine being so blatantly ableist, invalidating towards grooming victims, AND weird at the same time.
There are literally VICTIMS of Birdie, this “alter” says the r slur in this “rant”, calling a person their other “alter” is dating the slur in question.
While this person is allegedly manipulative by “birdies” stance, that is literally no excuse to call them an oppressive slur towards mentally disabled people AS A PERSON WHO IS CLAIMING TO HAVE ONE.
Not to mention they didn’t even make this “alter” apologize, instead bringing out their “nonverbal alter” to guilt trip people into thinking they’re just a little bebeh who can’t do anything wrong..!!
System accountability is a thing, and while they did apologize, they still called a person they knew a slur they couldn’t reclaim (as it was used in a negative context to negatively describe a person’s mental capability.), and didn’t make the “alter” (who is glorifying a zoophile groomer, refusing to even think about source separation from the groomer in question, and is now apparently ableist) apologize.
This is just fucking gross.
People CONSTANTLY love to pout about how systems can’t control their alters, but if a alter is genuinely just a terrible person who’s BASED OFF a terrible person, there’s no reason to protect their actions and words. This is disgusting, and if this “system” was actually trying to heal or do anything positive for themselves, they would try to educate this alter, and most importantly, encourage source separation from a fucking ferret rapist.
I’m so tired of this person it isn’t even funny, it’s getting to a point where this is just generalized ableism, both being ableist themselves AND ruining the reputation of an already stigmatized disorder.
Even if we were to entertain the idea of non disordered plurality, this STILL wouldn’t be how that works
He made an "alter" just so they could date his selfship ✌️
Bro i know like you can ship yourself with pretty much any character as long as it's not like, something ACTUALLY illegal or anything but Glam has a wife lol?? And also like making a headmate just to have him?? Damn you fucking insane man😭 what you mean "???" On his age aren't you supposed to know? Poser ass.
The red marked stuff is just to cover their user, age and other links.
Like imagine though
Pretending you have a disorder AND doing shit like this
Holy cornball bro.
Man I don't even know what to say, this is just stupid af
They’re saying it’s really not that crazy that sooo many people with DID know each other because lesbians exist in similar numbers 😭😭😭 not at all the same thing but go off I guess.
Also one of the participants in this conversation has a gay man pride flag (different than the rainbow flag) as their pfp so that just makes it even better. Just doggin on your own community for the sake of your faker behavior. That’s crazy.

Coining Post: Radendo
Everyone else is making rad labels, so why not me?
Radendo is an ideology that is, at its core, the most radical form of being pro endo.
Radendos believe that plurality is the superior form of consciousness of humanity, and seek to assimilate all human beings, making them plural!
Radendos believe humanity is naturally plural, and that singlethood is a perversion of our natural plural state.
Radendos recognized that research supports so-called imaginary friends of childhood possessing their own agency, and view any attempt to get rid of a child's imaginary friend as conversion therapy. Instead, we believe these relationships are healthy and should be fostered, with children taught to become better hosts for their companions.
Radendos also view exorcisms as conversion therapy, and do not support them.
Radendos support all queer people, polyamory, and related experiences.
Radendos view plurality as political because being plural, especially with headmates of different genders, makes people open to queer experiences.
By extension, radendos view fascism and queerophobia as direct threats to plurality.
And it goes without saying that we support systems of all types. Radendo is a pro-endo ideology first and foremost.
This means opposition to sysmeds, radnormals and similar anti-endo hate groups.
Radendos understand the importance of extremist ideology and helping to shift the overton window and make less extreme ideologies more palatable by comparison.
Finally, while these are general principles, there is no radnormal clergy who will come to excommunicate you if you do not fully support every point of the ideology.
It is completely valid to only identify as Radendo because you think it will make sysmeds and radnormals mad, or for the purpose of shifting that overton window further to the pro-endo side.
At least read up on the source material before basing your identity around it, SMH
