Yeah, if it wasn't clear, I wasn't intending to say that stuff was unprecedented or doesn't happen sometimes either, I was just parroting the reaction to it that I was seeing at the time. I think the fusion trend was just kids reinventing the wheel like you're saying and using a concept they were familiar with to describe stuff that's happened before and will happen again haha.

And yep, definitely have seen the whole idea that unless you've got DID-- professionally diagnosed even, suspected DID doesn't count-- you're harming the REAL suffering people by intruding, taking up their resources, appropriating their communities, STAY OUT. I saw that most from the DID/traumagenic/etc communities themselves rather than the other side (insomuch as there are "sides" to this at all of course); demands to keep out because you roleplayers are causing SERIOUS HARM to an oppressed mental illness rather than people autonomously deciding that DID stuff is irrelevant to them.

Yeah, I wonder how much of the idea was propagated by trolls from within the community. (Not necessarily singlet trolls; I just remember my befuddlement when I realized that Moose was claiming some of the anti-endo rhetoric, despite their knowing full well that it was false.) And then some folks jumped on the bandwagon because even us crazy people have to feel superior to SOMEBODY, I guess.

For real though, anyone who thinks DID would be respectable without "THOSE people" are either trolling or super-ignorant.
