Demi Lovato’s life is the most recent example of how badly a child actor’s life can be completely destroyed by the very fact that they’re famous. I’ve personally been through opiate addiction, and what I see, is a person who recovered from addiction, but not from drug use, and they are now on a trajectory to permanent psychosis. It’s really sad to see, and it’s even sadder that 99% of people just point and laugh

@@caitie2010 so. Recovering from addiction is as it says, you've overcome an addiction. Overcoming the drug use can also mean the lasting effects that the drug use did to the body and mind. You can stop doing drugs but still have the lasting mental effects from them that you may never recover from. I believe that's what they were trying to say, apologies if I'm wrong

[@code0Star]

When I was about 16 I saw the movie “the fourth kind” and that night I had my first sleep paralysis experience. I vividly hallucinated that I was being abducted by aliens, then I fell asleep and dreamed that I was in the aliens’ spacecraft or something. I had no idea what sleep paralysis was at the time so I had firmly and sincerely believed that I had truly been abducted by aliens. A few years later I realized what had happened, but it was definitely a terrifying experience at the time.

[@StandAloneSoul]

Sleep paralysis just feels very real since it's clearly different from being asleep. It's hard to understand that it happened and being able to work through that takes courage. My respect for you.

[@lillavarga8095]

While this comment had me dead, (here comes me ruining the party with a hot take, skip my comment if you're not into it) Demi is partially right about the usage of the word "alien." While the word "Mexican" has negative connotations only to assholes and Michael, the word "alien" as a reference to extraterrestrials is relatively modern (20th century if I'm not mistaken). Before that, its (ever-shifting) meanings were more on the lines of "strange", "outsider", and "belongs to somewhere else" - the same as when these days, it is used as a slur to undocumented immigrants by racists or to express that something is subjectively weird. So Demi is right to assume that the same exclusionary connotations were applied when the word "alien" was used for extraterrestrials for the first time. Whether they are right, wrong, or in the middle considering the big picture (the PC debate, ongoing semantic changes, the theoretic nature of this discussion on a planet where we cannot even respect other humans - let alone other species, etc.) is another question that I'm definitely unqualified and too dumb to answer.

@@Mr7ich7 1. I'm Hungarian. 2. What I've commented is based on several sources, but mainly on Rothwell's "'Strange', 'Foreign', and 'Alien': The Semantic History of Three Quasi-Synonyms in a Trilingual Medieval England." The paper highlights that even though the word has Latin/French origins, it has gone through semantic reduction by the time it started to appear in English sources. Not only was it less frequent than in Classical Latin, its meaning has been reduced to "foreigner" or "outsider" (and even "mad") in English sources, despite the wide range of meanings it carried in Classical Latin (p. 16). Edit: Why did you think I'm American btw? I'm just curious, because even my username reflects that I'm Hungarian.

[@thevegandragon_]

Non-binary isn't real. People who claim to be this have serious mental health issue. Demi Lovato has shown this tremendously. SHE needs mental health treatment, not a show, not to be referred to as multiple people. She is a woman, she is mentally struggling, and she needs help. www.watchdominion.com

[@psychosislove]

I have schizophrenia and the symptoms are a 24/7 thing for me. I have had multiple psychotic episodes in public and it's embarrassing, disheartening, painful, and the people around me are so ignorant that they make the episodes worse and some get mad at me for my reaction. I am glad your brother has not experienced that. It took years to reach a point of being able to handle the fact that I will forever experience psychosis and learn to love myself despite it. It's why I call myself PsychosisLove on here.

[@aquatius5]

I listened to Demi's podcast called 4D about queerness and it's... sure something. They talk in endless buzzwords (every conversation is actually "making space") and put a mystical spin on pretty much everything. So I can see why a lot of left-leaning people would find them cringe/annoying. But equally they get a LOT of hate from right-wingers for being non-binary and "confusing teenage girls", plus they did a podcast episode with Alok-Vaid Menon who's also a big hate target from those groups. Then there was the froyo thing. So they're like, a perfect hate target for anti-snowflakers, GC feminists and various groups of leftists at this point.

[@domesticcat1725]

You're absolutely right, they're a massive hate magnet for anyone who isn't the sterotypical new age spiritual/mystic/neopagan (upper-)middle-class white liberal slacktivist. Which makes leftists feel even more alienated (no pun intended) because that's probably the most common stereotype applied to the left over the past decade. I'm not sure about implying that the gender crit movement is feminist though. In 2022-23 you now see more of them on Fox/BBC rather than still trying to take over feminist spaces

[@mrboost4186]

Probably because Alok thinks little girls can be "kinky"

[@lillavarga8095]

While I love that you highlighted that "specifically English-speaking humans" use it, I have to disagree that the word "alien" is without any derogatory connotation. Its original meanings are actually closer to how these days people use the word "alien" 1. to call something weird/strange 2. as a slur to undocumented immigrants. Even though it has less and less derogatory connotations since these words are less and less used in these contexts, some are still lingering. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this whole "ETs or aliens?" discussion is crucial either, but the part about "alien" being a neutral word is not necessarily true.

[@ameliesrezensionen2631]

@@lillavarga8095 But I'd call an alien strange, if it landed here. And I would not be offended, if it called me strange, too. I mean, this is a being from another planet we are talking about here.

[@EightyFourThousands84000s]

@@ameliesrezensionen2631 Sorry, but your argument comes off as non-sequitur. The only thing Lilla was trying to point out was the origination of the word "alien"; Lilla wasn't trying to prevent someone from using the word "strange", that's a completely separate word. Using the words "illegal alien" vs "undocumented immigrant" can influence public opinion. Look up "Xenophobic language in media." I don't think anyone would argue that coming into contact with extraterrestrials would be mind-blowing. But let's say we continued to get to know these beings and eventually integrated them into our society (just roll with me), how long would we want to keep advocating for calling them "aliens"? If we started exploiting them for their technology, I'm sure powerful hierarchies would love advocating for the continued use of calling them "aliens" so as to foster antipathy and social acceptance for the inhumane treatment of these extraterrestrials. Even if you're not into sci-fi, I highly recommend the movie District 9. It actually uses the "alien" dynamic to symbolize how xenophobia and social segregation fuels racist oppression; it's based off of the apartheid era of South Africa. But in our case (hypothesizing about extraterrestrials), we could look at it literally haha.

[@ameliesrezensionen2631]

@@EightyFourThousands84000s I know that she didn't try to prevent people from using the words strange or weird. She did say though that this was the main meaning of the word alien and I was argueing that by this definition these beings are aliens. There seems to be a second meaning to this word, but it is not the prominent one. I have never heard somebody use the word in a racial slur, which is probably because I'm living in Germany and am only using English as a second language. I'm watching a lot of American TV with the original voice lines though and I've never come across this term. So at least to non-Americans this is not the main meaning of the word. By your logic I don't see how "extraterrestial" is any better. It might not have the racial slur to it yet, but it is clearly stating that this is a being that is coming from somewhere else. Would this not foster xenophobia in the same way as alien does? They have a similiar meaning and how would the term extraterrestial not be used as a slur sooner or later? It has xenophobia written all over it. I just don't like it when language is made to be a bigger problem than it actually is. When words that have a DIFFERENT meaning are misused and then because of this reason cannot be used in their original meaning anymore? Language matters, but it imo doesn't matter as much as recent discussions make it out to matter, especially when we are talking about hypothetical beings that might 1) not be intelligent enough to understand us 2) might not have the same senses as we do so cannot understand 3) Not speak English. When undocumented immigrants are called alien the term is misused (and I'm obviously against that), but to call an alien alien... that is not misusing the term. It is using the term for the exact meaning it has. I can see how your argument about calling them aliens AFTER they integrated into out society makes sense, but this integration is also a very hypothetical one. They might not want to or be able to or we might not want to integrate them. I'm pretty sure, they do not exist or if they exist, not only I but probably also the whole human race will have died, when they arrive on earth. So even if those possible aliens might be offended by me using the term, this is a risk I'm willing to take. IF they are real and IF I meet one and IF it understands me, I'll just ask it, what I should call it and use that term. I'm pretty sure that will be fine. Also... we are exploiting them for their technology? How do you know, they have technology? How do you know, WE would be the ones exploiting THEM and not the other way around? Also I think that the comparison with racism is lacking. Aliens actually might be evil beings, we don't know. They definitely will not be human. While with racism some humans pretend that other humans are alien and different and weird and have to be excluded, hypothetical aliens actually WILL be different. Well, I don't know that obviously, but the chance of humans looking the way they do and acting the way they act were pretty low. The chance that beings developed in a similar way on a different planet? Nearly 0, I'd assume.

This seems like a manic-psychotic episode. Their speech pattern is a little strange, they completely believe in all of this, and I don’t think they fully grasp how wild this sounds to other to other people. I think they need to adjust their medication. The worst possible thing to do when someone is having psychosis is to convince them they are special and that all of this is true.

But the proximity of them coming out, and then making this show, is where I think the problem lies. Putting the two unrelated things close together encourages correlation, especially since they hadn’t talked about either (gender or believing in aliens) much prior to this. I can’t and won’t put the blame entirely on them, because enbyphobes are going to be bigoted no matter what they do and that prejudice is wherein the problem lies. But at the same time I feel like as such a prominent figure they have a responsibility to the communities they represent to think about the greater effect of their actions. Us as individuals may be minorities with some unpopular beliefs, but we don’t have the influence that celebrities do and as such don’t share that same responsibility. As I said, enbyphobes are going to be enbyphobes either way, but I feel this particular situation has the ability to push those on the fence over onto the side of prejudice, especially if they don’t have much experience with other nonbinary folk. And again, that’s not entirely on Demi. But it feels like in this situation they prioritized the money, attention, and relevance generated by making the show over the possible negative outcomes for themself and others.

The last couple years Demi hasn’t been the same. It’s been since their overdose in 2018. They did have significant brain damage, so I’ve learned to instead of hating on Demi, try giving them the benefit of the doubt by looking at it as that their brain damage in fact has affected their behaviour/personality and thinking process.

It’s odd that Demi feels the need to police everything we say and do, like they are some authority on the “human condition”. For example they freaking out about sugar free stuff in a store as toxic diet culture, completely disregarding the literally millions of people who want to or have to have a low or reduced carbohydrate diet. I’m a type 1 diabetic, and the “sugar is the Devil” and Keto movements have made my life much easier, because low carb options of regular high carb food items are popping up everywhere. This is similar to the gluten free fad doing wonders for people with celiac disease.

[@thelastofmarlynstrains]

[@mercurialshift5793]

@@rachelb2717Psychosis isn’t defined simply as people claiming to have extraordinary experiences. If that were the case, every medium, every shaman and every single person who has ever had such an experience would be considered mentally ill. They aren’t. In the current DSM, they even have a category for what is referred to as a spiritual emergency. Usually that refers to some sort of spiritual awakening and a person struggling with negative experiences involved in the awakening experience. It shows that they now acknowledge that there are unexplained phenomena that can occur to individuals. Yes, in some psychotic states, a person may hallucinate and have delusions and become confused about reality. They may make mention of some sort of supernatural being. But their thoughts are also disordered and that becomes apparent when they communicate. It affects a persons ability to function normally. They become distressed or agitated. There are many factors that distinguish a psychotic state from someone claiming to have experienced something outside of the boundaries of what we perceive as reality. Heroin addiction wouldn’t lead you to experience psychosis during your recovery. Heroin doesn’t even have that affect on the mind while the person is high. I think only certain psychedelics are capable of that kind of brain damage. As for experiencing psychosis while being high, that isn’t typical of heroin either. It would be more likely due to a stimulant or psychedelic. She’s been clean for awhile now. You shouldn’t make assumptions based on the experiences she recounts. The universe is full of mystery and we know very little about it. If there was less stigma surrounding these types of experiences, we would hear them more often as people have been recounting these experiences for thousands of years. Some refer to them as ‘noetic experiences’ or ‘high strangeness’. I know what the scientific materialists say. They’re trapped in a paradigm. I majored in philosophy. I’m an extremely rational person but after years of studying these topics and then experiencing similar things myself, I can rationally conclude that this type of phenomena exists. That doesn’t mean you must accept everything. Only keep an open mind and eventually you see patterns emerge from certain individual’s experiences and reference to them from ancient texts, etc. Maybe Demi is full of shit. It’s possible. But she doesn’t show signs of psychosis and it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that she has had genuine experiences that can’t be explained.

As someone who has studied Latin, isn't "alien" and "extraterrestrial" kinda the same thing? The word "alius" means "other" and "extra" means "outside/from outside", so in every case it means that is something that is different, is not from this planet. I dunno, I may be wrong but I do feel an idiot just reflecting on whether calling aliens as such is derogatory.

I think it's because alien literally means "different one" and et means "one who is not from earth" so the implication that someone is different might seem offensive? but on the other hand it's not like ets aren't different than humans so idk. the difference is definitely the "Terra" Part in extraterrestrial

[@vekaroni135]

I interpreted them saying that the word "alien" is derogatory to mean that anytime the word is used to describe immigrants, it's the same as comparing immigrants to strange otherworldly creatures, since the word has connotations of extraterrestrials. Maybe I'm reading too far into it though.

One of my main issues with these alien things, and that it also goes with stuff like bigfoot 'sightings' and the like, is the video quality. At one point it was expected for it to be grainy and crappy and all that with camera tech up thru,I would say mid nineties at least. But hell, most of us carry decent enough cameras on our phones in our pockets that can capture footage much more clearly, and it seems like these people had more professional high end cameras they were using. And even if they were zooming in I'm sure the footage would look better and they can clear it up enough to be able to look like the footage wasn't shot in 8 millimeter film on a camera from the early 60s.
