"dangerous to children" until people became aware that a vast majority of LGBT people were involved in the furry community
Fandom culture was never on anyone's radar until teenage AFABs started decorating their rooms, writing a ton of fanfiction, and attending comic cons >>

Wicca and paganism has always been fringe, but why does the cringe stick around even today as religion falls further out of relevancy in the younger generations? Because wicca and witchcraft have always >>

When r/cringe thinks furry, they don't think "lol fursuit," they think "ew sexually deviant fags"

PluralGang, you are not discriminated against for being plural. I get why you want to be, because it gives you control
Being discriminated against for a lifestyle decision is WAY easier than being discriminated against for just existing the way you do with no way to stop it >>

But the truth is, you guys need to understand that people out there don't hate you for being plural, they hate you for being disordered, LGBT, neurodivergent, AFAB
They hate you, most of all, for being disabled
And that really fucking sucks, it's scary and sad, but to try >>

to call it pluralphobia and not ableism will only take attention away from people with disordered plurality, and will inevitably turn the invalidation and hostility onto us: people who already have a controversial disorder that doesn't need your lifestyle making it worse >>
So just call it what it is. Ableism towards people with DID/OSDD, and be a fucking ally

WHATEVER system gets called "crazy," gets told "oh so like Split? Lol," "isn't that not a real thing?" Or anything like that

feel like they can attack you for that, because bullying disabled people is still somehow okay in the year of our lord 2020
It's misdirected ableism
