Meet Timmy. Timmy is a guy who spends a lot of his time on the internet. One day Timmy learned about otherkin and fictionkin, and he thought they were ridiculous. He thought they were ridiculous enough to devote some of his time to making posts about how ridiculous he thought they were.
One day, Timmy got it in his head to make a blog. This blog would be an otherkin blog. Timmy wasn’t otherkin, however: he decided that he would be as ridiculous as he possibly could to see if anyone would actually believe in his bullshit. He decided he would be grasskin. Don’t step on the grass!!!!! Cutting the lawn is murder!!!!!!!!!!
Now meet Susie. Susie heard about otherkin, too. Susie decided to look them up one day and came across Timmy’s parody blog. The person running that blog had to be completely off their rocker, but they seemed serious about everything they said. There were other ‘kin blogs saying that this person was a troll, but that’s just a No True Scotsman, isn’t it? That guy was otherkin, too. He said so. It was on his blog. He even had his kintypes listed!
Susie takes notice of other parody blogs, too. They’re louder and more noticeable, more inflaming than the actual members of the community. Susie decides that most, if not all, otherkin are like Timmy and the rest of the people who run their parody blogs for shits and giggles. Even Susie decides to join in, at some point, not noticing that, hey… Wait a minute… Maybe other people did the same thing?
No, no. That’s lost on Susie.
