Quick'n'Dirty Plural History, part 4 (Livejournal and the Genic Slapfight) (see also: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3)
Summary: "All of our multiples out there, we all love you, all three of us!” --doublegearsystem, AKA protomagicalgirl
Word Count: 3000
Notes: IT'S FINALLY OVER! As always, this post was paid for by my lovely Patreon supporters. Honorable mentions for things I wish I could've mentioned but ran out of time/juice: The In Essence Pledge; Blackbirds and their Laymen’s Guide to Multiplicity; the DSM 5 and tumblr's OSDD fixation; the idiosyncratic tumblr interpretation of structural dissociation; how “multiplicity” was originally an umbrella term, only to then get considered too narrow so “plurality” became the umbrella term, only for other people to start defining that too narrowly.
( Noisemakers and confetti! )
