i feel like everyone who uses it is so over the top and extra, not only about their DID rp. i quoted someone using it so i could respond to their trade offer, and they got mad at me bc i didn't ping them right lmao
i also find it kind of uncomfortable to see what i initially perceive as complete strangers acting familiar with me.
if this really helps ppl with DID that's awesome, but it's getting to the point that i roll my eyes when i see pluralkit is in a server. and it shouldn't be like that. this should be an accessibility tool for people with a rare but legitimate disability. :/
OK yeah the first time I saw pluralkit and someone said it was for systems my first thought was "there is no way that there are enough people with DID for this to need to be a common plugin?" I know that fandom and online spaces tend to have a heavier presence of people in marginalized communities but it felt weird?
That said, the National Library of Medicine quotes a stat that DID is diagnosed in 1.5% of the global population, which in a world population of 7 billion about 100 million people, so maybe I'm mistaken. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK568768/ link to stats if anyone's curious.
