Im A Traumagenic System, So Telling Me That "REAL Traumagenic Systems Hate Endogenic Systems!!!" Means

im a traumagenic system, so telling me that "REAL traumagenic systems hate endogenic systems!!!" means literally nothing to me. funnily enough the folks this usually comes from have fakeclaimers in their DNI. hmm... anyways, endogenic systems have my full support and always will. its extremely entitled to say that you know exactly how the human brain works. you dont.

Terrorpunk: Embracing the Horror Within.

For all those with identities that put others on edge. People with parts of them commonly used as horror tropes, people who act "unnatural" and put others off, people with stigmatized "scary" disorders and disabilities, people who have horror and fear intertwined with alterhuman identities, queer identities or anything else that people generally find off-putting or downright terrifying--but in spite of that, don't see any of it as a bad thing, and reclaim the horror that others see in you. This is for you--for the monsters and the freaks and the eldritch abominations.

This is about reclaiming the stigma placed upon you. Maybe you are scary to them, but maybe you don't care so much about how they react? Maybe you keep being your authentic fear-inducing self out of spite. Maybe you like being a little scary because it's become intrinsic to who you are. Being open about yourself and unapologetically doing so shouldn't be a fear inflicting thing, but if it's going to be that way, you're not going to change for them. You're you, let them be scared. It's not on you to become palatable. It's not on you to hide parts of yourself away. Maybe it's on them to not see anything unknown or new as terrifying. You see the horror within yourself as nothing bad, and you openly embrace who you are and who others with differing experiences from "the norm" are too.

You don't need to be anything in particular to use the label, this isn't a term to be gatekept. Terrorpunk is reclaiming the terror that others or even yourself might think of about any part of you. That's what it's about, being unapologetically you and scary by doing so, because if people see you as someone that fills them with terror, then maybe that's fine by you. You won't change for them.

Keep in mind that this is not a term to use to cause or justify harm, exclude others or further any stigma. No one by any means has to reclaim being feared, or being something that scares people. There's some of us that find power in it though, to take the stones they throw, pick them up and ask them what they have left to throw at us.

Those who exclude others on the basis of identity (transphobes, homophobes, TERFs, ableists, racists, anti-alterhumans, aphobes and anyone else who excludes those who act on good faith) aren't included under this term. Terrorpunk isn't a basis for your hate or actions to harm marginalised groups or anyone similar. It's not an excuse to harm people in general. It's simply about being you, and if being that is scary, then so be it.

just because someone has a popular, common, or well-liked 'type does not mean they are faking or trolling.

someone who is a popular character from a popular media is not trying to get attention by "picking something popular" someone who is a wolf is not "fake" for being a "popular species" someone who is planthearted is not trying to be special

and these are just a few more examples. you cannot assume whether someone is being genuine or not through their 'type!

just because someone has a lesser understood, rarer, or often mocked 'type does not mean they are faking or trolling.

someone who is an ant is not trying to get attention by "picking something uncommon" someone who is a character from a satirical media does not mean they are faking it someone who is starhearted is not trying to be special
