Over the past 2 years or so there's been a wave of teenagers faking mental disorders, commonly multi-personality DID and OSDD.

They're attention whores at best, 8ch-level toxic at worst. They are actively damaging the perception of people who actually have legitimate mental disorders, making it harder for people to take them seriously.

A&Q:
1) Yes, they are fake. Stuff like "typing quirks" is a dead giveaway.
2) You can just ignore/block them. Going after them is just giving them more attention.
3) No, people with those disorders do not actually post like that.
4) It's because they are making a mockery of actual disorders (and often sexualities).
5) No, they aren't trolls. At least not most of them.

You can find plenty of examples by searching #plural or #system on any big SM.

Why are these people allowed on the internet?

I read an article which interested me.
https://bigthink.com/neuropsych/social-media-profound-boredom/

Here are some key quotes:
"Citing influential 20th century German philosopher Martin Heidegger, they note that there are likely two types of boredom: superficial and profound.

"When superficially bored, “We are held in limbo by a situation that restricts us from doing what we want to be doing, while simultaneously being left empty insofar as the situation does not satisfy us.” Think of being stuck in a useless work meeting or trapped inside on a rainy day."
When repeatedly exposed to superficial boredom, we can reach profound boredom, defined as “a deep state of indifference towards oneself and to the world” leading to “an existential discomfort in which people struggle with their sense of self.”

"Modern society tees us up for superficial boredom, the study’s authors say. When we are always connected technologically, previously segmented social, work, and home lives blend together, bringing constant disruption and leaving little time to focus on a single activity."

"At the same time, the pace of life is accelerating, imparting a “sense of busyness and rush amidst compressed time, and the corresponding desire to escape these feelings,” the authors add. This confluence of factors leaves time for brief bouts of boredom, ones that are now swiftly assuaged through social media or other internet pursuits, thus preventing us from reaching profound boredom."

"As painful as profound boredom can be, it can also lead to reassessment of one’s life and spur action to remedy the ultimate causes of one’s boredom. As part of their research, the authors interviewed 15 subjects aged 20 to 60 in England and Ireland about the experience of lockdown during the COVID pandemic. Invariably, they spoke of boredom and being in limbo, and mentioned frequently turning to social media to pass the time, an act which many said left them feeling empty."

So what I think is happening is that the Internet has basically removed all gaps in stimulation. Movies, TV, Music, Art; you want it, you got it.

Lets look at the 1970s as an example; There is no 24 hr news, You've read all the books in your house,youve got no video games,youve got no money for records or movies, there's nothing good on TV, the comic book store is miles away…You can't just 'pull up something new' as is constantly possible today. This is the world where entertainment costs money and investment, apart from being sparse. (I think Ive heard people say that stations would 'sign off' at night and stop delivering content? Imagine if the Internet did that.) I think people underestimate how many 'unstimulated moments' people had before the Internet. (Although, the 20th Century was an informational deluge too, compared to earlier eras.)

Today you can get all the news you want, all the games you want, all the music you want, all the movies and TV…

There's not enough time in the day to get through it all, so it feels like time is moving very quickly.

Youve probably heard an older person talking about how back in the day they 'made their own fun'. That was totally true, I think. Staying inside could get boring quick. Home entertainment was finite. You could feasibly read all the books in your house, listen to all your records till you got sick, and see everything worth watching on TV. At the same time you might not have any money for outside entertainment. No drinking or clubbing.

What the hell do you do all day? God only knows– but I think it would make time move quite slow.

I constantly hear voices in my head telling me to face challenges that I perceive to be challenging. The majority of these activities are quite simple, but this one was particularly interesting.
Although the test itself was very simple, there were some delicate subjects covered by the wager. The bet was that if I won, my waifu would be entirely a pure virgin and would not die in the manga,As the Manga leaves her fate undetermined.
I took the bet, but I'm not sure if I succeeded. I merely feel empty and always fear that my love for her has soured. Sometimes I try to outdo the voices, but I feel like every time I fail the challenge, my love fades away for her.

I am terrified of these thoughts, and the voices have destroyed my feelings for her.

I genuinely hope that my thoughts have no bearing on reality, that they can be changed, or that my magical thinking related to my autism and schizophrenia is the only thing affecting my love for her.

Does anyone here have a similar problem to me What are the solutions?

i do have the same predicament, although in my dreamworld, i am not doing it for a potential waifu but rather to not disappoint the lads under my command.
sometimes i daydream about being big boss and having underlings that were previously NEETs or hikkis, and they rely on me to keep going.

This is kind of a dumb post but I really want to share this. I wrote all of this already and I'm not gonna waste it. Was originally gonna submit this to /x/ but it didn't really match the tone.

Remember Webdriver Torso? That youtube test account that uploaded a bunch of those red and blue square vids?

Well it just revealed its subscribed channels. Nothing sticks out aside from a channel named (picrel) Alpine Videos 2.


You can see two videos from the frontpage

The audio on the first one is sort of creepy at the end. I wouldn't expect this to get big like webdriver torso because it's much less viscerally mysterious, cool find though. It's interesting that webdriver torso is also subscribed to normal channels like jacksepticeye.
Did the phrase "the torso opens" come from somewhere? After I clicked on these links I searched webdriver torso and a suggestion was "webdriver torso opens", but there were no videos with titles like that.

Erotic anorectal violence—anoreceptive activity involving a combination of rapid thrusting, considerable girth, and a prolonged duration—is both rampant and one of the greatest contributors to societal decadence today:
• Due to its ubiquity in pornography, several generations now have grown up masturbating to, demanding more of, and seeking to emulate violent behavior that should easily be considered severely criminal when more than one person is involved. Perpetrators of this violence against one or more others going unpunished is a major problem, as is incriminating evidence being sold for profit. Those perpetrators are rewarded, encouraged, and celebrated when they should instead face justice and be condemned.
• Widespread apathy, (often willful) ignorance, and misinformation about anorectal anatomy, physiology, and health are enabling people with (self-)destructive tendencies to have a field day with such violence and to effectively spread disinformation. That unrestrained hedonism is contributing greatly to societal decay. Far too many people neither wish to think about nor seriously discuss anorectal matters, so rampant anorectal violence and its consequences "fly under the radar;" people would much rather focus on some other (in many cases far less dangerous) kind of erotic abuse.
• Widespread ignorance of what a human anus is even supposed to look like makes it an easy target for those who like to mutilate body parts. Although the anus is one of our most important body parts, typically it is very under-valued. It commonly is denigrated and intentionally harmed, a situation that is tolerated—or at least ignored—by far too many people. As the vast majority of humanity likely never will care much at least about another person's anus, discouraging anoreceptive activities entirely is the only realistic solution.

Rampant anorectal violence is caused by—and in turn contributes back to—societal decadence; this is called a positive feedback loop.

> I can't really take the info you share with the importance you want because most of this texts', and your opinion's, base is on violent acts, which are already considered bad by definition, doesn't matter the body part.
Many people don't even seem to recognize anorectal violence as _being_ violent behavior with all of the implications that should entail. As I wrote in the OP image: "Partly due to common prejudices against and denigration of the anus along with rampant, anus-mutilating erotic anorectal violence, developing an aesthetic anus fetish is highly unusual; and _accepting_ it, even moreso. This fetish does indeed seem to be very rare: otherwise that violence would have strong opposition."

What I wrote states plainly that anorectal violence is rampant, as numerous sources quoted in Trends & Associations (among others, including https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/aug/11/rise-in-popularity-of-anal-sex-has-led-to-health-problems-for-women referenced in my /sugg/ thread) explicitly point out as well. The body part (or parts) involved DOES indeed matter: those two factors I mentioned, common prejudices against the anus and denigration of it, most certainly are related. I also suggested that the apparent rarity of an aesthetic anus fetish is a factor contributing to the absence of strong opposition to rampant, anus-mutilating erotic anorectal violence.

Furthermore, I also wrote this in the "decadence" paste included as text in the OP: "Widespread ignorance of what a human anus is even supposed to look like makes it an easy target for those who like to mutilate body parts. Although the anus is one of our most important body parts, typically it is very under-valued. It commonly is denigrated and intentionally harmed, a situation that is tolerated—or at least ignored—by far too many people. As the vast majority of humanity likely never will care much at least about another person's anus, discouraging anoreceptive activities entirely is the only realistic solution."

> It is suggestive of a nefarious agenda and/or psychopathy to purposely and repeatedly try to draw attention away from anorectal anatomy and physiology, rampant anorectal violence, associated traumatic risks, and an epidemic of ignorance and misinformation. These topics, plus the voluminous amount of information from others, are far more important than anything about a lone person trying to raise awareness of them. It is very likely that pornography industries utilize psychopaths as deceitful and manipulative "psyop" agents when some pornography companies already make use of them for perpetration of violence against one or more others.
Anyway, as I pointed out recently elsewhere in two separate posts (references will be provided on request):
1. Anyone else could take some or all of that information from others to which I've been trying to draw attention and use different tactics. One person can be expected to do only so much. Most certainly I've done plenty already.
2. While what I am doing may well be ineffective, I choose to press on until I am satisfied that I have "passed the torch." I do not wish for all those years I spent on this endeavor, and all that I have learned, to be for nothing. One or more other "crusaders" could find some of this information from many others I've gathered most useful, perhaps along with my personal knowledge, and so I continue until I am satisfiePost too long.

Do people not understand that some of these matters are time-sensitive? Anorectal violence was fairly common in mainstream pornography even back in the 1990s, if not earlier. Many perpetrators of such violence—especially so long ago—against one or more others at least in mainstream pornography never did, and probably never will face justice at the hands of any government.

The clock is ticking as people and governments continue failing to take action. It already is certain that justice can be served realistically only through extralegal means (i.e., "fighting fire with fire") in far too many cases, due e.g. to violent perpetrators relocating.
