Don’t you think there is a problem with White people taking on attributes of POC characters? Fictionkin don’t occur in a vacuum. There are centuries of cultural appropriation in the background of you claiming to be, on some level, a Japanese person.

No. No no no. A thousand times no.

You fundamentally misunderstand fictionkin. There is no ‘taking on attributes’. Fictionkin is not something anyone volunteers to be. We don’t chose our kintypes, and being kin is not about playing a role, or taking on an identity.

I am the reincarnation of someone who happened to be Japanese. Before that, I was a race that wasn’t even human. Saying that someone can’t be reincarnated as another human race is fucked up. 

Its frankly ignorant and disgusting to say that a white person can be kin to a dog or a griffon, but not to a black person or a native person. What kind of message does that send? That POC are less close to white people than animals or myths? We are all humans now, physically, even with cultural divides.

I am not appropriating anything. I do not go into the spaces of Japanese people and claim to be Japanese. Hell, I don’t even celebrate Japanese holidays (though I could). I’m not appropriating shit, and the fact that you people keep asserting we are is stupid and offensive.

Stop putting up barriers between people of other races. We have enough dividing us already that you don’t need to go around saying that the souls of white people are fundamentally different than the souls of black people.
