Please note a couple of things: 1) Systems not being a part of her ideology. Her knowledge on DID comes from hand-me-down information given to her by her sister after taking, to my knowledge, 1 basic Psych course in community college. It's been known that most textbooks that focus on DID or mention DID are outdated by decades.
2)"Separating art from reality." A classic response from people confronted to consume media like Tetsune has. The type of content consumed by adults does have an impact on children and can be weaponized against them. This is how they're groomed on the internet in fandom spaces.
3) "I'm xyz, how can this accusation be thrown at me?" Being part of a minority group or in support of a minority group does not exempt anybody from being held accountable for their actions and the media they create.
4) "I've never bullied anybody in my life." But she was complicit. This is word of mouth, but there are multiple accounts of Britishmindslave committing to bullying because people were "weird." Tetsune has always been more in the background but was never afraid to voice her opinion during voice calls, which reflected her twin's opinion.
Regardless of the two of you supporting and being a part of the LGBT community it is however an issue that you both consistently fawn over romantic (and sexual!) relationships between gay (or bi/pan) men. Your most used characters in DCM I saw that were constantly used and drawn during my time in the RP group (Duster, Cowlneck, Combat Boots, Fishnet Stockings, Mankini, Ampallang, Strappon, Amulet) are gay or at the very least had an interest in men/male-aligned characters.
Neither of you are gay men, and I as a gay, trans man was often made uncomfortable by the fact that two cis women would primarily focus on gay male relationships that neither of you could ever truly understand, pansexual or not. I cannot claim to understand the intricacies of lesbian relationships so nor can you understand the gay identity to the fullest. There is a rampant issue with cis women fetishising a core part of my and many others' identities and I am more than certain you are both well aware of this, so instead of making excuses you have a duty to perhaps analyse what you create and consume rather than make deflections against others telling you that you are wrong.
I, however, doubt either of you would be willing to admit this because you are too proud to admit you've done something like this for so long without introspection. Please, take time the to admit to yourselves and others of this fault because you are only lying to yourselves and the communities you've made or are apart of.
Edit: And no, Emi, the doc wasn't all me and Ryan and wasn't meant as a personal attack—I wasn't involved in its writing up until yesterday. All of the shit you two have done and NOT done deserves to be put out there for the public to know about because you've hurt many people, you've stood by as children came to you with accounts of how they were being preyed upon in YOUR COMMUNITY and you did NOTHING. Still you remain friends with Hita when it was a known fact within the group that xey had groomed S and attempted to do the same with Kro.
You failed as moderators, you failed as people and most of all you failed as friends.
The fact that most of the people involved in this document genuinely considered Brit and Emi specifically to be their close, good friends is heartbreaking considering how little the two seemed to care for any of them in the grand scheme of things. They were typically there to fulfill a certain function, and once they weren't of any use anymore they just simply weren't worth the effort of maintaining a relationship with. I find them to be a completely selfish and deluded duo if I'm being truthful.

Yeah, I don't know them myself but they seem awful and I'm glad that I don't.

I'm glad you don't know them either, I wish no one involved ever met them or knew they existed.
