Brand only getting support because he's white, cisgendered male and hetrosexul, also having an following of brainwashed cultists because he feeds what they want to hear doesn't help but those brainwashed cultists are by majority white, cisgendered, and hetrosexul.

wow you can genuinely flip this statement 100% for any LGBTQ+ people who are accused of something

Uh, actually people follow Keffals because of their winning non-abrasive personality, great sense of humour, warm compassion and intelligent insight and literally no other reasons

The second anyone mentions "The MSM" you can dismiss everything else they say.

It is fucking depressing so many people buy into that horseshit though.

The MSM has developed some particularly bad problems of reliability in these clickbait times and many of the brickbats are totally earned.

That said, when I hear someone insist to me that his favorite YouTube/Rumble/Twitter/etc Investigative Neckbeard™ is more trustworthy than, say, AP or NPR, I know I'm talking to some nut I can disregard with extreme prejudice.

Shit stories and clickbait aren't what these nutjobs are referring to. They're making out that the media are acting as a singularly focussed entity working to discredit their cult leaders / whatever they believe in.

Lets not conflate the two issues.

Can you guys not mock people shitting themselves or use the phrase in a negative context? That's a totally normal and completely valid thing to do. Thanks.

Creepy internet stalker and slave enthusiast Visawife -

I don't know the Playground devs but imagine if they're really disappointed with this reveal. Maybe there's a way to take out that character or change the actor, if they want to do something about it.

I think the only thing we can realistically do here is start a hate campaign against Fable, Peter Molyneaux, Phil, Bill Gates and maybe even Alan Turing. If this board platforms that game I AM DONE with these fake allies

It's amazing how little it takes to get them to switch. Now singing the praises of Theresa May of all people.

Ramsey openly promoting an abusive working place is also terrible.

My brief time as a kitchen porter, surrounded by want to be Ramseys was horrifying.

I know you are joking but it needs to be stressed, even without gendered insults Ramsey promoted a toxic kitchen culture.

They quickly backed down when I snapped and picked up a skillet.

Abusers turn into cowards quickly when their victim stands up to them.

Lmao, I love how crazy the posters on Era are

Andrew has had weird takes before. He was also very positive and supportive of NFTs, and recently AI art iirc.

The liked NFTs and AI art ergo he’s not to be trusted lol

I'd wager that a shit ton of ERA members were pro-AI Art very recently, as well, until it got too good or until the admins laid down the law. Should probably ban the whole fucking forum, just in case.

[Daffy Duck]

The only reason theres a ban on ai art because NepNep is in the field

[Polident]

Not the point, but I saw a YouTube video last night where a guy ate at Gordon Ramsey’s Pizza restaurant. It’s some deal where you pay £18 for 2 hours of unlimited pizza. Guy ate 40 slices. Not only simple plain pizza. Ramsey had some gross looking seafood pizza. Somewhere in the middle, the guy joked that he normally feels bad about taking down all you can eat restaurants, but because Gordon is an ass, he felt vindicated. Anyway, the fat users should do that. Actions speak louder than words.

Does anyone actually believe this muppet who spends his time ban baiting on ree ever threatened anyone with a skillet? I expect what actually happened was he got chewed out for washing the dishes too slowly and stormed out in tears

https://www.resetera.com/threads/lttp-moon-knight-and-the-portrayal-of-dissociative-identity-disorder-mark-spoilers.765539/

This is somewhat of a difficult topic for me to discuss on Era. I haven't really talked about it before outside of staff, although it's not exactly a secret as many of my friends outside of Era know. I'm putting this in the member's only section to offer some semblance of privacy. Some people might have caught on to the fact that I updated my pronouns on Era to include they/them. This was both out of respect for a genderfluid non-binary headmate, and also because we have no objections to they/them being used plurally.


As we're still watching the series, please use spoiler tags for anything past the first two episodes. It's fine if people discuss it, but we'd like to see as much unspoiled as we can. One particular headmate is really into this, and I'd like it if she didn't get spoiled by accident.


We were diagnosed with DDNOS 1b, or what is known as Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, when we were young. Nowadays, it's called Other Specified Dissociative Disorder or OSDD. It's similar to to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) in many ways, but we do not have significant amnesia between the different headmates. Just emotional amnesia with clearly defined headmates. We've managed this most of our lives, and we've reached a point (after trying a variety of things in therapy, including integration) where we live a largely normal life. The five of us function like a family of sorts, and while we do have issues here and there, we're long since past the point where any of us really consider ourselves "disordered" because of it.


Anyone who has experienced DID/OSDD, or knows someone who has, knows that media portrayals of DID/OSDD are fantastically inaccurate. A lot of them have an "evil" alter", or a "serial killer alter" contrasting a "good alter" or "normal alter."  Fronting, or who is in control, is portrayed inconsistently if there's any logic in it at all. Splitting or dissociation is sometimes portrayed rapidly, or just as inconsistent as fronting is. Amnesia is shown as a total black out, often with extreme losses of time. Rarely is emotional amnesia ever shown, or partial amnesia. Coping strategies are often never mentioned accurately. The concept of creating a functional system is non-existent. Often no mention of headspaces, or not showing any communication attempts between the various headmates. And sometimes the whole portrayal is just straight up fantasy supernatural or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde nonsense.


We had heard Moon Knight revolves around a protagonist with DID, and that they apparently went out of their way to portray it a bit more accurately than your usual TV show or movie. After watch the first two episodes, I definitely appreciate what effort has gone into them at least. There are some inaccuracies, such as Steven making it to be as old as he is and not checking the time (and date) more often after clear bouts of amnesia. Plus the depiction of fronting and amnesia in the first episode was a bit extreme. It didn't really helped that our eyes are sensitive and it bothered us a bit.


But Oscar Isaac does a fantastic job showing a more realistic portrayal despite the fantasy elements of the show. Steven and Marc appear to have an actual headspace, or an inner world represented by the reflections in mirrors and such. The two actively communicate as well, which is something you almost never really see with DID/OSDD portrayals. We had a good laugh in the second episode when they briefly discussed how Steven's suit looks, because that kind of dialogue and communication was a good portrayal. The differences in voice and body language were appreciated too, as that's something others have noted in real life with us.


There actually appears to be some semblance of roles in the system too - Marc has elements of a system protector. It's more fantasy and extreme then what you'd seen in reality, but the end of the first episode summed it up pretty well. "You're not going to die. Let me save us." That's something an actual system protector might say if the person fronting felt they were in danger.


We're going to keep watching tomorrow when we have time. I've heard the portrayal goes a bit further, and does some interesting elements with it. So I hope it continues to be a more accurate representation then what you usually see. I'd be curious to see the opinions of others regarding the portrayal, especially if you have any experiences with DID/OSDD/Plurality.


Also, you're welcome to ask me questions about our system or DID/OSDD too if you like. I don't mind answering them, because I'd rather people ask then jump to conclusions or assumptions.


EDIT: Oh, I didn't think about it, but we've never read the Moon Knight comics. This is our first time being exposed to the characters. I'm guessing the portrayal isn't as good in those as it is in this series? I'd be curious to hear more about the comics too.
