Point 1
Systems aren't going to be comfortable until r/systemcringe is gone. One of my most common responses to "do you feel safe in system spaces" was no, followed by some commentary on sites like r/syscringe - sys cringe particularly doesn't care if you're diagnosed, undiagnosed, faking, pretending, suffering from another condition or medically recognised; they're preying on people's vulnerabilites which is never okay to do.
Point 2
The ISSTD shifted from using RAMCOA (ritual abuse, mind control, organised abuse) to OEA (organised and extreme abuse) as a descriptor, and RAMCOA is now considered an outdated term.
From the little reading surrounding RAMCOA as a term that I have done, there appear to be issues with the term (and the ISSTD), as they link to shady psychological practice, and addition to the satanic panic hysteria of the 1980s. Many of the practitioners involved in the RAMCOA special interest group of the 80s had their practicing licenses removed due to misconduct. However, I do not know enough (mostly due to lack of resources) to feel comfortable speaking on this topic.
Whether or not you support the RAMCOA label - high control groups and extremely abusive situations still create very legitimate trauma.
Might be worth a look into Stephen Hassan's BITE model as a simplified way to break down high control scenarios, and to gain an idea of whether you've experienced them 💕
.. f*ck r/systemcringe
"r/systemcringe poisons the internet for ramcoa searches!!"
No. Your "searches" just never existed to begin with. Out of the two ISSTD links from a straight Google search of RAMCOA, the rest is carrds, pluralpedia, reddit, Instagram, tumblr, tiktok, and fucking spotify. So where are the documentations, the scientific books (not by people who have had their licenses removed) and video proof of people being interviewed by specialists. Where is it. Because none of that exists. Literally at all.
