It always had such interesting stuff to say. It was banned recently. I think it should be unbanned and allowed back. It had such interesting perspectives on neurodiversity.

    As an enby, it gave me the red flags of someone doing a cruel parody of a Non-binary person. Someone trying to set bait.

    I apologize if it was genuine. It's hard to tell on the internet, but particularly as it had the same style as a lot of our wreckers, it set off a lot of red flags for me.

      cruel parody of a Non-binary person

      After reading its takes on the formation of personality/personalites in entities with NPD, I think that it was genuine. It talked about how NPD is a disorder involving multiplicity, like DID and OSDD, and how due to severe neglect, and not experiencing love during key developmental stages, no person developed inside of it. So like how with most people, people develop a sense of self, a 'real person' inside their heads, if you will. It talked about how that's not the case in those with NPD. So it not seeming like a real person from the outside makes sense... because of the developmental differences that were instrumental in creating it and its particular type of neurodiversity. I don't think a wrecker could come up with such a nuanced understanding of the inner existence of [edited to add: this type of ] neurodiversity. Also of note, it doesn't consider itself a person, and does not like to be referred to as a person.

        I see, that makes sense. This is why I largely stayed out of it. Because it seemed both genuine but set off a lot of my alarms. I'm in two minds about the whole thing and don't know what to think.
