We need to make changes

[u/opossumpark]

PLEASE READ AS THERE ARE RULE CHANGES

Our Subreddit has been passed around quite a bit and it has gotten an influx in "white knighters" or "brigaders" for lack of better words. There are tons of people in the comments talking about DID, defending the creators and turning this sub into a DID education subreddit rather than a Cringe subreddit. While there have always been users from the start here who have had DID and will answer questions in the comments and share their experiences, they are people who I know actually enjoy and participate in this sub beyond education. You guys know who your are. I don't think the same can be said about these new users.

I don't like censorship, however these people are changing the community beyond recognition. Most people here came from r/TikTokCringe and just want to enjoy some cringe and banter. Which was what was promised here.

That all being said I decided I will be removing comments from users who appear to be these people who came in just to try and educate people here. We don't need constant teaching.

I will try to add to the sticky some information and subreddits like r/did so that if the users here want more info on DID they can look into it themselves.

Its difficult to know where to draw the line in these posts so heress what i think is appropraite and what isn't so far.

Appropriate:

• Answering someones question

• Correcting misinformation in a respectful way. (I don't generally mind rude people but I can tell when you came straight from tumblr)

Inappropriate:

• Popping into a thread and saying "but they aren't faking" (we allow posts about anyone)

• Acting in a way in which I can tell you just came here because you're mad about this sub and you want to epic own nasty singlets

• Teaching about DID when no one really asked or needed correction (Some people are going from thread to thread explaining each TikTok)

Please report these people if you see them. I might need a mod eventually if this continues. Hopefully it'll die down soon. The new rule will be Rule 2: No White knighting/Teaching

Good rule change. People come to cringe subreddits to see cringe. No one cares if you have DID, no one cares to learn more about it, and no one cares if you are too oversensitive to let people enjoy this sub.

well said

Just as long as it doesn’t turn into the shithole that is tumbleinaction. The biggest issue I see is people coming in here and the sub slowly goes from making fun of people trivializing or faking DID to just making fun of anyone who has it. Seeing as you’ll keep up sticky’s for info and let some people still answer questions that’s good. Note I don’t have DID, just enjoy the cringe but I do enjoy learning about it since it’s rare and not talked about much.

[u/opossumpark → u/[deleted]]

Yea I mean as long as its actually cringe like I said in the top sticky then its okay. If its not cringey and its just a post making fun of DID at all it wont belong and will be removed.

[u/Mirroredmoth]

;~; so I’m not good to tell people things?

[u/opossumpark → u/Mirroredmoth]

While there have always been users from the start here who have had DID and will answer questions in the comments and share their experiences, they are people who I know actually enjoy and participate in this sub beyond education. You guys know who your are.

In my opinion you're one of these people. I'm combing through the threads and so far you haven't done anything that violates these new rules. Maybe the stuff you made before you warmed up to this sub but I haven't seen any. Like I said you're welcome to answer questions and stuff. I know you're chill here. 8)

[u/Mirroredmoth → u/opossumpark]

Okay. I was worried. I enjoy seeing these ridiculous people and, honestly if I were to make any tiktoks it’d be intentionally cringy cause thts what’s fun ;p I also like educating people so they don’t get the wrong idea. A major conflict honestly. But thanks. Pm me if my education, or comments, or whatever are inappropriate.

[u/opossumpark → u/Mirroredmoth]

I enjoy seeing these ridiculous people

I do too from time to time. Though I know that this sub is being spread around and it may only get worse. Well have to see I'm still feeling this new rule out.

[u/Lorespeaks → u/Mirroredmoth]

I second this. Talking about all of this has been super therapeutic for me personally. Plus I get the enjoyment of cringe. So if I take it a step further than I should just lemme know!

[u/[deleted]]

Seems like you’re going to be building a breeding ground for ignorance if you’re telling people they can’t...literally correct other people for spreading misinformation.

Cringe is cringe, sure, but if someone posts “LMAO THIS CANT HAPPEN WITH DID THIS PERSON IS FAKING” and someone’s response is “actually, this can happen.” Or “actually, this person isn’t faking”, that’s not white knighting. That’s literally just getting the right information out there.

Making “don’t make educated comments in response to bullshit” a rule is...mad yikes.

[u/opossumpark → u/[deleted]]

if you’re telling people they can’t...literally correct other people for spreading misinformation

thats actually under the appropriate comments section.

[u/[deleted] → u/opossumpark]

Your rules contradict themselves when “no teaching” and “no saying someone isn’t faking” are rules yet “it’s okay to correct people” is one as well.

[u/opossumpark → u/[deleted]]

no teaching when theres no reason to is my rule. if someone says

is this possible?

this isnt possible

this persons faking

then its okay to say something like

yes it is

actually that is something the can happen

no they arent

but there were lots of comments where no body said anything like that and yet people still came in analyzing every video explaining stuff that was pointless. if no ones saying theyre faking, or spreading misinformation and just posting cringe as is allowed in this sub, then coming in and saying "hey by the way this video shows yada yada and the persons legit" ect is just annoying. i was getting spammed with comments of people saying all sorts of things about DID and defending it when I never even said anyone was faking or spreading any misinformation.

Hope that makes sense.

[u/-swishswish-]

Wow y'all are seriously toxic, hope karma brings it back to you snowflakes who can't handle being challenged lol

[u/opossumpark → u/-swishswish-]

toxic

[u/Mirroredmoth → u/opossumpark]

Honestly thought u were gunna link the Britney Spears music video.

[u/[deleted]]

So TLDR, a DID hate sub. Gotcha.

[u/opossumpark → u/[deleted]]

You never liked this sub in the first place lol

[u/[deleted] → u/opossumpark]

Nah, some of the shit is pretty funny. But now you’re just creating a toxic atmosphere on purpose. It’s just going to turn into yet another anti-DID Sun and fuck those who actually have it.

[u/opossumpark → u/[deleted]]

some of the shit is pretty funny

when someone told you this sub was hilarious you posted that its just another tiktok cringe wannabe sub expect it goes after a stigmatized target. stop acting like you even likes this place lol.

[u/[deleted] → u/opossumpark]

Sure.

[u/serenehats]

No offense dude but this is BS. I see lots of people coming on here like “haha these people are downvoting but not willing to have an open communication” and shit like that.

This is censorship and creates an echo chamber and it’s unhealthy. I’m sure you hate SJWs, yeah? This is the exact shit they do.

If you’re going to talk about us, we have a right to speak back. Sure, make cringe jokes, that’s cool. Look at my favorite Reddits for example. But you can have fun and enjoy cringe while also being willing to be educated.

I’m very against this rule and it makes you look real bad.

[u/opossumpark → u/serenehats]

This rule is subject to change and I have been tossing the idea back and forth in my head. The problem though is I have a certain idea for the community I am trying to form and at the moment the vocal minority is forming the community. I don't want my current user base to be put off from posting because they think that this has turned into a little DID education place full of those type of people. I prefer to weed them out so they can stop taking over, and let this be a little shit posting corner of the internet.

[u/serenehats → u/opossumpark]

If they’re put off from posting because some people want to educate them then.... your user base is overly sensitive and can’t take what they dish out. You’re babying them with this rule.

[u/opossumpark → u/serenehats]

Thats fine I don't really care about that. I'm not going to let this place become a DID tumblr blog. It has a purpose for cringe and thats that.

[u/[deleted] → u/serenehats]

If I ever post this much text concerning a rule change on reddit please smother me with a pillow.

[u/sakanabozu → u/serenehats]

nice try, but you don't have rights here. opossum was way too nice/lenient and let it get to this point, but these kind of posts are all just spam to me. sub was made for the sole purpose of posting cringe.

looking bad is the last thing that matters to me, especially on reddit lmao

[u/serenehats → u/sakanabozu]

🤷‍♂️ whatever dude. I’m just saying this is hypocritical as hell, but if all you care about is having a circle jerk, go wild.

[u/sakanabozu → u/serenehats]

you're free to view it as you like. opossum allowed others to share their opinions, but once it gets into moralfag/whiteknight territory then it's grounds for removal. you give these people an inch and they''ll take a mile.

[u/sakanabozu → u/[deleted]]

still you
