This would only rustle jimmies if it were posted on Tumblr, not Imgur.

Jesus Christ, Imgur is getting so stupid

Somebody is very edgy this year.
ImADoctorNotAnImgurian
Was about to say. I agree with the point but the way it's stated and the title just make it sound like some angry anti.

isn't Otherkin the term for half breeds in DnD?

Well good thing I'm not on Tumblr

Isn't Tumblr that thing I use to find fetish porn?

Unlike @OP, apparently

Is it me or these kind of "SJW" or Tumblr "types" are more common outside of tumblr now?
Thefluffernutter
It's just you. Don't let what Imgur thinks is an apocalypse skew your perception of reality.
ANewBadlyPhotoshoppedImageOfABaguetteDaily
It's ok to be gay, trans, bi, but past that it's unreasonable. We can't have a category for everyone to get upset if it gets confused

Just like the people who think there's 3 genders
Parkbobo
oh my god you are such an edgy and unique individual for thinking these thoughts. You are the only one on earth who has this idea

What's your other, friend?

I actually heard of otherkin before tumblr. It was a long time ago. It just got made bigger by tumblr. And by furaffinity. Ugh cleans me.
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
If you are going to beat a dead horse, could you at least be clever about it?
Revelumin
I could use a reminder as to why this otherkin stuff afffects me. Or more importantly, why this affects you.
laplace
They're just kids who want to find themselves, feel special and belong. Sad thing is they don't get any understanding guidance from anyone.
All they get it is either 100% ridicule like this or 100% support from tumblr.
chillbroimhighaf
Pretty simple to understand, if you're just an unknown dead body the coroner names you John or Jane Doe. 2 genders.
ChipofftheoldSpock
I'm on tumblr all the time, and the only time I ever hear about other kin bullshit is here on Imgur

I don't think I'd even call it a mental illness. Just being a precious snowflake.

Why are you complaining about tumblr on imgur? That's just as stupid.
Pandaphant
Why does this bother you so much? What is going so poorly in your life that something like this is a problem to you?
It seems @OP spends a lot of time on tumblr and doesn't like to encounter these people there. Why else would they care?
CaptainJabrone
I am going to have to disagree, I am half man, half piece of shit
Freakymon
Same.
Family?!
lanceconstablebluejohn
Why're there so many weird right wing strawmen on here these days? Heard this so many times but never heard from a genuine "otherkin"
LaurenBlackFox
The smart ones don't talk about it. The vocal minority/mentally ill are the ones who 'proudly' talk about it in public. 1/2
The silent ones just incorporate it into their identity and use it as a source comfort or try to ignore it. 2/2
The majority of "vocal" ones (especially screenshots seen here) are trolls. Only fools take it seriously.
I was more bemoaning the complaints, why's it such a big deal that people have weird beliefs, just let them do them
Sure. It's not really more unbelievable than most of the stuff organised religion proffers. Not really sure why it deserves a free pass.
Agree completely. But we don't get the same level of shaming for people who believe in: the magic man who lives in the clouds
Beardologist
I'm half man and half beard!

So do you study yourself?

Ah i know your kind, my father is half mustache.

Ah well it appears that you were telling the truth. That is a mighty beard.
And I just saw the user name.
1) other kin is not nearly prevalent enough for you to care this much. 2) they aren't really physically hurting anyone so why do you care? 1
3) the majority of otherkin stuff we see on Imgur is made by trolls 4)the majority of "real" otherkin are teenagers trying to figure out 2
Who they are, give them a break. 3/3
BetweenGrey
As an individual who is generally understanding and excepting. FUCK THIS SHIT. Holy fuck that's messed up and pathetic. Get real problems
I agree, that otherkin bs its just another way of attention whoring and complaining about non-issues.
GrinningCat
You mean accepting.
Thanks
I interpret otherkin as being teenagers trying to figure out who they are. They'll grow out of it eventually but I do have compassion for 1
They're clear identity crisis. That's a really problem. 2/2

What's otherkin?
MyLifeIsPotat0
Better off not knowing
IntoTheWeeds
It is Swedish for "otter-kind". There is a large population of Swedes who believe they are otters.
You just said otherkin in your head with a Swedish Chef accent, didn't you?
THESQUIDHAT
Nothing, what's otherkin with you?
snowman520182
Basically, it's for attention whores who think being transgendered is too rote and pedestrian.

Next Level Furries.

Next-gen furries.
Demoneli
A mental disorder.
IWillAlwaysBeRelevant
Special snowflakes who think by pretending they're legitimately something they're not, they'll appear to stand out and hence be important.
Dreigiau
The actual definition? someone who believes they were x kind of non-human in a past life, sometimes mythological, usually not.
Personally don't find the belief in general any more absurd than most religions, it's just newer.
WolfOdinson
In the southern U. S. it's how one refers to the rest of their relatives. "S'ears meemaw and peepaw. Emens over yonder? Jest otherkin."
Litig8
We DO NOT sound like that.
Not all of us, no; you have to admit though, more than a few sound EXACTLY like this. Asides, lightnin up a leelbit shugahboogah. Jess funin
Well fiiiiine theen.

zarkingphoton
More tumblr nonsense so sad autists can pretend they are special
NotACanadian
Someone who actually, legitimately, unironically identifies as an attack helicopter.
LargeCanine
An Mi-8 rebuilt by Israeli military industry would be rad.
Pikipecks
Like someone legit thinking they're a bear or...eggs or dragons instead of humans. Very common to see in tumblr.
LaTransDragon
Roar, I'm a helicopter/dragon hybrid
arrentknave
They're only ever very charismatic animals like wolves or dragons though. I've never seen an otherkin sea cucumber, mores the pity.
SSlack
Lol sometimes I hear stuff about tumblr, and I get on there and its just as crazy as other websites tbh.
my1rstlaptopwas34inchscreenup
i'm on tumblr and all i see is porn.
*Lenny Face*
Thehumblebubble
That's actually a thing? How special do you have to be to think that?
sweatypepperoni
As special as I wanna be! *rawr xD*
seriouslyfuckmetheresnonamesleft
It's not so popular I've only seen like 2 blogs with it and most users say they're uncomfortable with it.
Mohead12
Well funny thing is, I hunt bear. So lemme at em coach.
AnEightStoryTallCrustaceanFromTheProtozoicEra
I was a 1 on 1 teacher for an autistic teen who believed he was half dragon. He could transform into full dragon when angry.

No it's when they think they have the soul of an animal but the body of a human. Still bullshit.
NotMicrowavable
Makes sense. I have a female body but boy, am I a dog on the inside. Send nudes, please. Happy New Year!
DefinetlyNotObsessed
Do you only accept dogkin nudes
ArthurPhillipDent
Dog nudes or...
SerHydraTeh5th
Why not dogs in sexy bikinis?
Thetwitchy1
But here's the thing: wtf do you care? Seems like you're being an ass hat for the fun of it and picking on the special kid cause you can.
OccasionalPictureOfChrisPratt
That doesn't make sense to me. If you consider it a mental illness, why laugh? Does OP laugh at people with depression? Dysphoria? Anxiety?
My point exactly It would seem like that's the kind of person he is.
WoahMyDudeThatsCrazy
Who doesn't pick on the special kid?
Noroelle
Even minoritys have a rigth to Be discriminatet!
Anyone with n ounce of pride and/or decency... since that kids is the easiest target and probably gets it from every asshole.
Just because he is special doesn't me he can't also be an asshole, I used to get bullied by a kid with a mental disability in 5th grade
AmorphousPorpous
Not his argument. Picking on the kid /because you can/ not because s/he is an ass
Fighting back against a bully (who happens to be special) is pretty far from picking on (and being a bully towards) a special kid...
All I'm saying is that don't assume that someone is an angel because hey are special
