Self-inserting syndrome (SIS) is a mental-illness similar to autogynephilia, in which it is characterized by a 'jakker that starts to identify as the "soy boy" drawings he collects so dearly, to the point of using them as avatars.
Like other paraphilias, self-insert syndrome is a sign of greater suffering or trauma deep within the individual, but isn't by itself harmful unless the weird behavior has social consequences, unlike autogynephilia. Nonetheless, it should be pathologized and stamped out for the nebulous standard of normality of the atomized individual in the neo-liberal system of free exchange.[1]
Self-insert syndrome doesn't feature in the DSM-V, which according to Dr. Soyswedeson and colleagues, "confines the syndrome's rate of incidence to tragic obscurity" and that "Further inquiry into the psykosexual aspekten [sic] of this condition could be fruitful", closing off, on an eerie note, "we're working on making it notable enough for the DSM."
Self inserting was briefly outlawed by Mustard on June 21, 2025. The ban was short-lived and repealed due to jannies becoming DNBs.[2]
