I feel like we as a society need to come to the realization that the “r/fakedisordercringe” phenomenon was just normalized casual ableism against neurodivergent teens that for some reason, (some) neurodivergent individuals not only let slide, but also condoned and participated in. I can’t help but wonder how different the ND community would be if it wasn’t for this.

Quick question: does DiD count as cluster b?
Good question. The short answer is no. More details below.
DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) is a Dissociative Disorder, not a Personality Disorder. Because DID used to be called MPD, many people think it's a Personality Disorder, but it's not. Cluster B specifically refers to Personality Disorders.
Dissociative Disorders (including DPDR, DID, OSDD, and more!) are characterized by dissociation, or a disconnection from either reality or oneself. DID specifically is characterized by the presence of two or more personality states (often called alters in a medical context) that are highly differentiated (at least some alters have very differing personality, mannerisms, gender, sexuality, age, etc.) and with dissociative amnesia at least some of the time (which is the inability to remember things that happened when another alter was controlling the body/fronting). DID is frequently caused by childhood trauma.
People with DID (like Mod Orange, who is writing this) often refer to themselves as systems, but not all systems have DID, and not all systems are formed by trauma. Similarly, not all people with DID use system terminology to refer to themselves. Many systems have OSDD-1, P-DID, UDD, or are not clinically disordered at all.
Personality Disorders (PDs), on the other hand, are set of disorders characterized by rigid, inflexible, and maladaptive patterns of thoughts and behaviors. People with personality disorders often have trouble with self-perception and interpersonal relationships. Many personality disorders are formed through trauma.
Personality disorders are divided into three clusters: Cluster A (PDs with a tendency towards social withdrawal), Cluster B (PDs with a tendency towards overly emotional thinking and behavior), and Cluster C (PDs with a tendency towards anxious and fearful behaviors).
Cluster A includes PPD (Paranoid Personality Disorder), SzPD (Schizoid Personality Disorder), and StPD (Schizotypal Personality Disorder).
Cluster B (which this blog focuses on) includes ASPD (Antisocial Personality Disorder), BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), HPD (Histrionic Personality Disorder), and NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).
Cluster C includes AvPD (Avoidant Personality Disorder), DPD (Dependent Personality Disorder), and OCPD (Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder)
This blog focuses on being a safe space for everyone with Cluster B PDs, since these PDs are very frequently demonized. There are other blogs and places across the internet that focus on other PDs, and on DID or systems. Hope this answers your question!

NPD + DID culture is actively hoping to get posted to r/syscringe because you need attention tm but then you wonder if you're faking DID for attention so you try to stop "faking" DID and nothing happens except more stress from ignoring everything so you stop trying to stop "faking" DID and then you make more system posts and none of them get posted so you start hoping to get posted to r/syscringe because you need attention tm but then-

So we’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how npd might present differently with different alters in our system
And one of our protectors was wondering about this, and what npd traits he could possibly display
Our system had to remind him that in headspace he’s LITERALLY INVINCIBLE 😂😂😂

NPD plural culture is “Does that character actually have NPD too or are we projecting because we have NPD and an introject of that character?”
The answer can always be both

Plural + NPD culture is needing to calmly explain that your disorders are caused by our abusive parents, not the other way around and not us abusing them to abled fools.
