Just because I keep getting asked about this, I figured I would make a thread to explain why I created this account and am doing what I& #39;m doing for anyone wondering. I am not here to be malicious towards Chloe or her cult following. I am only here to state my opinions on the..
Issue at hand and hopefully open a few eyes in the process. Personally, MY OPINION is that I wholeheartedly believe she is faking quite a few illnesses. I don& #39;t believe she actually has DID or even CFS just to name a couple more well known things she claims to have...
There are a few others as well but no reason to name them. When I first found her, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. It wasn& #39;t until I started to do a little digging on my own and could see exactly how much/often she would twist different studies to suit her narrative..
With that, along with her contradicting statements and actions as well as hypocrisy about numerous things, I quickly formed my opinion that she is a faking malingerer. However, I am well aware that I am not a doctor and cannot say that someone& #39;s diagnosis is wrong...
Does that mean I don& #39;t stand by my opinion? Absolutely not. I will stand by my opinion until I am thoroughly proven wrong. (I am not above admitting I& #39;m wrong about anything at all, but this particular subject is going to require quite a bit of proof for me to change my beliefs.
Proof that I am 99% confident doesn& #39;t exist. What bothers me (and my main reason for making this profile) is the fact that she glorifies a mental illness to the point it has become trendy. If you look at her comment section of nearly any video of hers, you will see..
That nearly every comment is from another "system". Most of these "systems" are young, impressionable kids/teens. DID is NOT that common. But the fact that she portrays it as being able to live life never having to be accountable to any bad thing you& #39;ve done..
While you get a bonus of having tons of imaginary friends to accompany you on your daily LARPing adventures, to me, is despicable. Especially considering that ACTUAL DID is a DEBILITATING mental illness (which you would never know about simply from watching her videos)...
If you are a young/impressionable person, of course this is going to sound interesting and appealing to you. I can& #39;t fault the kids for that at all, but I CAN fault Chloe for not doing better. As an & #39;advocate& #39;, she should be SHOWING the negative aspects of the illness..
Instead of only talking about the negative aspects when it suits her narrative. (Example: when shes caught in a lie, contradicts herself, acts out of character, etc) IMO she doesn& #39;t show these sides bc they don& #39;t exist for her...bc shes faking.. But...
(But again, that& #39;s MY opinion, we are all entitled to have them and I& #39;ll gladly respect yours if you respect mine) My point is that by only showing the quirky and fun side of things she is causing her young fans to either a. Fake it also because they think its...
Quirky and makes them as special as she portrays herself. And they want to be a part of the community. Or b.) Actually convince themselves that they have it. The power of suggestion is a very strong thing. What bothers me the most and inevitably caused me to make...
this account is those kids who are fans of hers that have actually convinced themselves they have it. Those poor kids/teens don& #39;t realize it right now but in essence, she is stealing their childhood/teen years from them. And that is unforgivable in my opinion...
Most of these kids, I& #39;m sure, come from loving families in all actuality but are going through a & #39;rebellious phase& #39; in which their parents are just & #39;tHe wOrST& #39;. (We have all been there at some point.) Most of these kids don& #39;t even understand what ACTUAL trauma is...
And begin reaching for anything they can claim as traumatic, to support their claims of DID when in all actuality, there& #39;s probably zero trauma present. Because of this, these kids obsess over these videos/learning all the & #39;facts& #39; she presents so they can disprove..
Anyone who disagrees with them (just like she does) and cause distance between them and their families when their families may try to talk sense into them. Unnecessary arguments and fights. Therapy visits that they just don& #39;t need (that could also put some of their
families in financial hardships) The loss of good friendships bc their friends don& #39;t agree with it. Etc. ALL of this, instead of SIMPLY just being kids/teens! She is singlehandedly destroying families through this and that doesn& #39;t sit well with me. And before you
Comment saying "well she doesn& #39;t control what these kids decide to do" no, she doesn& #39;t directly control it. But it cannot be denied that she has any kind influence over these kids. They idolize her and want to be like their idol. When all it would take would be for her to
make a decent amount of videos actually SHOWING the negative effects of this illness and how ACTUALLY debilitating it REALLY is. That& #39;s ALL it would take for a majority of these kids to understand that its something they shouldn& #39;t WANT to have...
Sure, they can still support her but at least they wouldn& #39;t be following in her exact footsteps. And THATS what advocacy is about. You tell the bad just as much as the good. Its not a one sided thing at ALL. These kids are going to grow up and look back on their childhood...
And teen years and realize they wasted all this time and energy on something that they never even had, they& #39;re gonna have to put in effort that they otherwise shouldn& #39;t have to, to repair friendships and family relationships and the fact that they& #39;re gonna realize..
That they never actually HAD a childhood/teenage years due to this obsession is only going to ACTUALLY cause psychological damage in the grand scheme of things and that is NOT fair in the least. THATS why I made this account. If I can help even ONE kid realize the negative..
Aspects of this illness and understand they don& #39;t actually have it and save them from potentially ending up looking back on their life like that, I will consider the effort I& #39;m putting forth a complete success. So before you assume I& #39;m only trying to be a bully..
Maybe...just maybe take a moment to consider that someone actually has a heart for these kids and actually cares about their future in a positive manner. Back when I was a teenager, being rebellious meant listening to bands your parents didnt like and wearing tons
of black to spite them. Whatever happened to that? Now we& #39;ve crossed over into it being a trend to have a mental illness? How can anyone NOT see how absurd that is?! Seriously. Having a mental illness is NOT fun and most definitely NOT cool. It is LITERAL hell..
And THATS what she should be teaching these kids. Not the complete opposite!
If you made it this far, thanks for reading my rambling rant. :)

Also I just want to add that she is only adding MORE stigma surrounding DID and causing those who ACTUALLY have it to be looked at as fakers/malingerers just the same as a majority of her cult. Tons of people seeing therapists with a mental illness they don& #39;t have
Is only going to make it harder for those who DO have it to be believed and given the treatment they deserve. That& #39;s not fair to the people that truly need the help and yet another reason why this account was created.
