That's one of the more interesting things about them, I think. They all do have some sort of mental derangement, it just isn't MPD, because MPD is fake. Whatever makes people become like this could be studied and have papers written about it. It has all these very clear diagnostic criteria, from their narcissistic actions, to their self-delusion, to the way they use people, and even to their rapidly shifting obsessions.I've been trying to put my finger on why I dislike plurals so much and I think I've found the answer. Fair warning I'm going to get kind of philosophical here.
The basic idea that human beings are collective entities is, in fact, technically true. You can be poked with a needle, and then we can examine it under a microscope to find that humdreds if not thousands of indivdual creatures make up the biological matter spilled from that wound. We're all made up of cells, and those cells though primitive do have their own form of free will. Sometimes even turning into cancer and threatening our lives directly because they choose their own survival over that of the greater whole. Neurons, too, are also living creatures, though they are far less mobile and much more dependent on each other. We know for a fact that they create specific networks and patterns between each other, and don't always communicate with the greater whole efficiently. That I accept all of these facts means I should hypothetically be open to the idea of plurals.
If you found any of the above interesting you can probably see why I dislike plurals, because I would bet you serious cash that absolutely none of them could rattle off even a single fact I posted above. Instead they lapse into buzzwords, they label parts of themselves after fictional characters, they seem to display little to no creativity and crucially there seems to be an ongoing theme of childhood trauma or having a fucked up life with these people. They are, almost to the last thought, completely irrational. Which is infuriating, as I personally wouldn't mind exploring having a bicameral mind or different personalities. I could probably jaw with people for hours on the idea.
I think it got posted here awhile ago but there was some kid on tumblr relating plurals to the idea of tranny "eggs". The post read as "if trans people are eggs then us plurals are glass eggs, because when we're smashed we can never put the pieces back together fully".
I dunno, I think that speaks for itself. What we're looking at isn't just a collection of lolcows, but really sick and damaged people who probably need professional help and a bunch of sedatitives.
It's got to be some kind of modern mental illness, or an old one expressed in a new way because of some part of modernity.
