Fakeclaiming

(Namespace: plural glossary)

Fakeclaiming is a system exclusionist practice of singling out particular systems and claiming that they are actually singlets who are faking being a system for attention, for clout, or to absolve themselves of responsibility.

Fakeclaimers will usually point out attributes of a system that for whatever stupid fucking reason they don't believe can ever occur in a genuine system no matter what, such as the system being endogenic or having fictives.

Their gold standard of “you have to be this or else you aren't a system” is a traumagenic and fully partitionary DID-diagnosed system with no introjects, not even abuser introjects because according to them apparently those don't exist either for some reason. You also have to want integration and call your headmates alters and hate all of them but also somehow not know about them, and you have to have suffered extreme child abuse but not OEA/RAMCOA/SRA, and you can't have too few alters or else your abuse wasn't bad enough but you can't have too many either because then you'd be polyfragmented and polyfragmented people aren't real apparently, and basically you'll always be fake no matter what. Even someone who meets all of those arbitrary qualifications can still be fakeclaimed just because someone doesn't like them.
