Welcome

This website is the official coining place of plural abuse, forcishaping/shaping and forcigenic. These are terms created from within the plural community attempting to describe several different but related experiences that can be had that relate to plurality, particularly in a context of abuse.

Forcishaping, or shaping, is a form of abuse that involves a system being shaped abusively and intentionally by external forces. It encompasses the concepts covered under "programming", but it is broader, includes certain things that programming does not, and has different origins and thus possibly connotations.

Please see the terms list and the about for more information.
