i guess the main thing is that it kind of hurts, here i am thinking that i’ve found a really good and informative blog about something that plays a pretty big role in my life, basically giving the vibe that because i have tiers of kintypes, that i’m less valid than those who dont. and man, it is really disappointing

I never said you were less valid. Also, I despise ‘validity’ as a concept.

The original question I was asked was ‘

When looking at someone’s kintypes, how many types can you get through before being suspicious of their amount?’

And its not a number. For me the only factor towards being “suspicious” of someone’s kintypes is whether they seem sincere or not, which plenty of people who rank their kintypes do, and some don’t.
