It's just you. Don't let what Imgur thinks is an apocalypse skew your perception of reality.

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

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.

If you are going to beat a dead horse, could you at least be clever about it?

I could use a reminder as to why this otherkin stuff afffects me. Or more importantly, why this affects you.

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.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 4

All they get it is either 100% ridicule like this or 100% support from tumblr.

Pretty simple to understand, if you're just an unknown dead body the coroner names you John or Jane Doe. 2 genders.

Why are you complaining about tumblr on imgur? That's just as stupid.

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?

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"

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

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

The silent ones just incorporate it into their identity and use it as a source comfort or try to ignore it. 2/2

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 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

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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

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

I agree, that otherkin bs its just another way of attention whoring and complaining about non-issues.

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

It is Swedish for "otter-kind". There is a large population of Swedes who believe they are otters.

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?

Not his argument. Picking on the kid /because you can/ not because s/he is an ass

9 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 1

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
