I was looking at your blog honestly to try and see all the crazy things people say on Tumblr. Now after reading some of your posts the only crazy thing is how wrong I was about you. Could you please explain how you deal with trolls and how to identify what people are trolling pretending to be crazy otherkin? Also I want to thank you for making this blog.

Thank you for taking the time to send me a message. Things like this make my blog feel worthwhile. Sometimes it feels like the number of trolls, pretenders, and the insincere outnumber those of us who are sincere in their beliefs. Its honestly hard for me to deal with, and I’ve been on hiatus for a while processing my feelings on the community at the moment.

Some tips to identify insincere and trolling ‘kin’:

*gain a new kintype every few day or weeks

*connection with kintype lacks insight or depth, merely being a ‘favorite’.

*claim that being kin is a choice that they made/choosing their kintypes

*claim that being kin is a gender

*make outlandish claims of magical powers they can use in this life

*claim that all kin are ‘coping’

*confuse being kin and being a system/multiple

*claim to be kin of outlandish personalityless objects like spoons or chairs

*make escalatingly outlandish claims

*lack personal insight as to why others would find their beliefs silly

*claim to live every moment of their day as their kinself, including costumes and forcing people in their professional life to call them by kin names.

*lack insight or reflection on the nature of being kin

*treat being kin as a game, hobby, or something fun
