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.

I suspect they weren’t working there much longer.

As the saying goes “if you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.”

For all we know, they started a random fight because someone said something innocuous to her and got triggered.

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.

if all this shit was real then they'd have to evaluate the character of each headmate to see if they're fit to be a moderator at era

they'd have to set boundaries like "ok when Jimmy the Incel is fronting, you need to log off"

what if you get banned when some righteous fury headmate is fronting and then Sophia gets emotional amnesia and doesn't even remember why her other self banned you, can you get unbanned

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.

Pls, Sophia, tell us about that headmate of yours that changes genders on a whim or how they feel like it.

Even among psychologists who believe DID is real, these “personalities” are conscious enacted coping strategies. It’s a real disorder as far as the individual believes and acts like they have different personalities, not because they actually do have different personalities.

anyone who has an internal monologue is able to say "alright let's do this" to themselves in whatever voice or tone they can imagine, and a fucking idiot might interpret that as someone else saying it

I just forced Morgan Freeman to say "Android Sophia is a fucking dumbshit" in my head, that doesn't mean he's one of my headmates

I was about to ask the same question.

May was always good on LGBT issues.

She got slow-walked (then quick-knifed) by the rest of her party, but this has been her consistent position from rise to fall.

Still a Tory of course, but even ~5 years ago the Tories were a lot less rabid on this axis of the culture war. In fact the Tory Leadership in 2017 was probably more progressive on LGBT issues than the current Labour Leadership.

For all the problems I have with May, you're right. She was not the Tory leader of today. Johnson, Truss and Sunak have all been very violently anti queer.

May was not.

I can't believe I find myself missing Theresa May, but here we are. 😖

Dunno if she's said anything on it and cba to look, but I'm 99.999999999999% sure her stances on trans issues will be considered genocidal by them.

I wouldn't be shocked if she was a straight up terf.

And she voted against gay marriage in the 2000's and probably only changed her tune because it was politically prudent to do so by the 2010's, given her background

I think a lot of us, rightfully, have PTSD after 2016. It's very, very difficult to believe that even this far out that Trump could be in a better position against Biden than he was at the same points in 2016 and 2020 election cycles but maybe the country's mental health crisis is worse than I thought previously.

Because it’s a nation that imprisons it’s openly gay population. Being openly Trans is punishable by death. Women’s rights is limited too

Just a quick reminder that Theresa May is directly responsible for the deportation of close to 100 black British citizens, and likely the deportation of thousands of othet residents with the legal right to live in the UK (see the English language testing scandal).

[Nintex]

May also put the entire circus (Bojo, Truss, Sunak etc.) on her cabinet. So this backstabbing myth is wild.

This whole thread is embarrassing tbh. Era watches two black children fighting and the first thing is to say it’s fake and that they’re actors. Peddling conspiracy theories, and somehow also showing complete lack of empathy for these children.

I hope the mods do something about this. This is disgusting honestly.

It is disgusting. And the “it’s not conspiracy theory, it’s skepticism” counter argument made my blood boil. Fucking Tucker Carlson-esque rhetoric in here.

The only (and I do mean only) thing that makes me believe it could possibly be real is that there’s too many people involved. If even one of the people in or around this video talks he’s screwed. Why take that risk? And if it is fake, I would expect Hollywood people to be the first to point out how fake this looks.

But fuck if I didn’t cringe watching because it does look staged as all hell.

I also like how she says "not everything is tailored to you, I don't go around leaving comments about my gluten intolerance on bread baking videos, I can just go watch videos about making gluten free bread," as if that's not still selfishly seeking content tailored explicitly to you and honestly probably part of the problem

when you can expect to find something you're interested in every second of every day, perfectly relevant to your interests, maybe that leads to an expectation of finding it everywhere

maybe she's left some equally annoying comments on gluten free bread videos like "my oven doesn't have the setting you used, do you think it would work if I did this instead" and it's like sweetie go find a video with your own oven in it

Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?

I'm sitting here working while playing Peter Santenello travel video inside the NY Hasidic Jewish Community when I'm interrupted by an annoying YT auto-ad, as usual, since I'm at work and can't have adblocker enabled. Now obviously, this is usually a quick 4 seconds and a skip click. But this lady start talking about how "transgenderism is really popular right now in the media on YouTube, Tik-Tok, etc." Oooooookay, so my ears are immediately pricked up.

Hold up, are you going where I think you're going lady? No, impossible. On a mandatory YT advertisement? Nahhh. So, for the first time in my fucking life I let the ad keep playing. MotherFUCKER. It goes there. That's right, gender dysmorphia is just a trend being pushed onto the youth. And please follow this link to this "award-winning" documentary that looks into the trans-youth that felt pressured into transitioning and regretted it. And they got experts like a Teacher from the Exodus Institute *googling* ah, one of those homeschool advocate weirdos. No, I'm not linking this shit unless you want. I think you get the idea.

Alright, I'm now sitting here kinda stunned this would be allowed on YouTube as a mandatory advertisement on what I assume is a pretty innocuous channel. It'd be one thing if the channel itself was advertising such a thing, but a YT auto ad? So this leads me to wondering if the channel itself is able to request specific YT auto-ads. I don't know much about Peter Santenello, only watched a few of his travel videos. But he didn't seem right-wing. Naturally I try and google his political views and don't really get anything as the channel is really just about going to places and interviewing regular people off the street. Thus, I don't know.

The fuck though? Anyone else have this slammed into their face recently?

[Boredfrom]

Also, content creators don’t choose the ads they get. Is kind of obvious given I get random Indian rap videos when watching RedLetterMedia.

[HaughtyFrank]

That post reads like such incredibly performative anger. Even ready to cancel that youtuber, what a good ally you are
