About tagging art as me I don’t understand because I don’t do this as otherkin but because i identify with a character, same as other fandom people tagging as my son, my husband, my child, etc. I thought this was the same as tagging with your love for a character so I’m so confused, I was happy to see that in fandom you can tag your love and fascination for a character or show and I thought tagging me was another way to do this, not a kin thing. I see non kin doing that too with fanart.

Its good to see I’m not the only one with a confused perspective on the phenomenon. Before the outcry, I wouldn’t have known that people…

Thank you for your reply, I understand and it’s a good point but I think that while classifications are good to make things clear dividing a small community with close experiences in two against the wishes of some of them is not ideal. I also think the otherkin community wants only people who believe it’s an spiritual thing lately, I mean between coping kin and people who believe being kin is psychological or anything not spiritual there isn’t such a big diference and both tend to be excluded.

I think its important to share space- but I also think its important to have dedicated spaces to both. We have similar experiences, and a…

I believe healthy multiplicity is real and your anon is missing the point, psychology is supposed to explain the workings of the mind not own them and only allow for their worldview to exist, so please don’t assume I’m one of those anons, but I think that what people like the anon are doing to you reminds me of what otherkin like you do to other kin, you define who can be part of the community by your views, like being against coping kin, according to my worldview as kin that is possible.

Sorry this took me longer to get to! You have a point! The difference is that I absolutely believe that copingkin exist as a phenomenon…

how on earth is a livejournal supposed to be an official source? you have no evidence to back up your claims. all of the links on the site have been discredited multiple times. people claiming to be multiple without having the additional symptoms of an unintegrated personality clearly have no understanding of what a system is. a system is a medical term for all dissociated parts of a person with DID or OSDD-1.

The point is over here <- and you are all the waaaaay over there —–> In other words, you have missed the point. how on…

as someone whos fictionkin, i can sort of see why people dislike it when people tag their art as kin… i asked an artist who dislikes it and they way they described it was that they put their heart and soul into their art, and to see someone claim its *their* heart and soul feels like its being claimed as their own. to me it sort of sounded similar to when people who are kin arent comfortable seeing doubles of themselves. and i sympathize with that feeling… as long as its not because (1)

of a reason like ‘fuck otherkin i dont want them on my post’ it doesnt seem rude to me? sure, it sucks because i wanna…

You consider otherkin a spirituality? I haven’t seen people describe it as such, but regardless… Yes, I find all irrational things that are not based on empirical evidence absurd, which absolutely includes religion as well as people who think they’re a feathered dragon. However, for what it’s worth, otherkin isn’t as bad as religion by any stretch of the imagination. They’re just similarly silly.

Most legitimate otherkin and fictonkin consider it a spirituality. It started as a spiritual idea/movement. Everything else has grown/deviated from there. Those kin who do…

“Those of you who think our community is stupid, please look deeper before you pass judgement.” If you believe you are an animal, a dragon or a fictional character… that is absurd. And that’s okay, there’s a lot of people who believe in God with a similar glaring lack of empirical evidence. Just don’t expect people to respect it because, again, it’s utterly absurd.

Well, at least you’re painting all spiritual people with the same brush. Asshole. Just more evidence that the people who find kin absurd are the…

Hello, You don’t know me. but i have come to apologize. I watch Amazingathiest, and i used to be an anti-otherkin. i have said mean things to people, and have gotten death threats in return. a vicious cycle if you will. Tonight i stumbled on a post, on an other-kin page, denouncing otherkin who were being viciously aggressive/defensive and attacking the trolls back. Long story short…well. sorry for being an anonymous dick. Doesn’t seem like most of you “other-kin” are that bad after all. peace

Thank you for your honesty and your apology. I truly believe that if people were to look deeper at the community and engage in open…

I wish that non-kin coming into this community would educate themselves instead of taking everything written by trolls and inexperienced newbies  as what all kin…
