I’m going to be honest, I view most kin as people with mental illnesses.

There is no way that any sane individual would view themselves as a catwizardrollercoaster, mostly because a person is not any of those things.

There are two very clear problems with the concept of otakukin. Otakukin, otakin, fictionkin, fickin, whatever the hell you want to call them. The important thing to know is that they’re fakers without realising it. They have been continuously exposed to information by self-appointed figures in the otherkin “community” that it is perfectly okay to consider such simple experiences as spiritual ones.

Otherkin, therianthropy, fae, vampirism and weres are all self-appointed spiritual states of being involving non-human identities. In one part this is a perfectly natural and valid idea, in another it’s too popular for its own good. People without the mental faculties to critically look at themselves and separate from their external idols are assuming these labels for themselves, and this needs to stop.

There’s a so-called otherkin movement going around that’s supposed to do one specific thing: encourage acceptance of non-human identities, and to a lesser degree (though I personally consider more important) spread allowance for non-human representation in generated avatar mediums. This is a perfectly valid idea on its own also, however not only is it being poorly carried out, credulous mindsets are the very reason people laugh at the ‘kin in general.

For the sake of those rebutting me, who’d like to waste their time calling me an awful, awful person for policing others identities, I’d like to make something clear.

When I said I had voices in my head, I was not saying I was a system or a multiple, or what-have-you.

I am schizophrenic. I’ve been on and off medication for years, and I’m off right now. Partially because I don’t want to have another allergic reaction that nearly kills me, and partially because my current voices are something approaching reasonable.

multiples vs otherkin: FIGHT.  and call each other crazy that makes sense

I’m not a multiple, I’m schizophrenic.
