Back when my wife and I were first dating, we had what we would call “personas”. We would choose characters from our favorite media that we really liked that resonated strongly with us, and decide that we were them. And we’d live like that for a while.
Sometimes we’d have a whole roster of them and we’d switch out; they’d interact with each other, some of them were dating each other and some of them hated each other and all in all it was great fun. Roleplaying is a natural and healthy way to explore your identity, and there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s fun.
But this is what people on Tumblr think having kintypes is, and that is concerning.
