I do not know if you will see this, but it is extremely rude and cowardly that you decided to block me right after you replied to my post. I have not seen your post because you blocked me before I even had the chance to read it, and even if I could read it, I am unable to reply to it. I am not even sure if you will see this tag because of how blocking works on their website.
I was polite to you. I was willing to have a civil discussion with you. I explained to you that people were not saying that your experiences were wrong, rather than there are better communities out there that would serve you better than the otherkin community. You made the choice to block me without giving me a chance to respond.
To me it shows that when you do not hear what you want to hear, when you have people who do not agree with you, that you would rather run away and hide then face what they are saying. That is a horrible way to handle any discussion on Tumblr or in the internet in general.
Their friend blocked me two posts into conversation and now I’m just waiting for them to get it over with too.
I could see it if I was arguing, calling them names, or being rude, but it was just a conversation. Conflicting opinions should never lead to covering your ears and looking away.
If you can’t deal with someone else’s opinions maybe you should look at your own and get that sorted out first.
I am just confused because I was not yelling or insulting them. I was telling them that their experiences were not wrong, and that there was a community that would be better suited for them. I knew they were stubborn, but I was willing to give it a chance nonetheless. They just cannot understand that otherkin has a rigid definition, and it is a community not suited for those who picked their kintype.
That’s exactly why I was so confused. I though it was just a conversation and an explanation for why I made the post that started all this.
I figured comming from someone who was both otherkin and experienced a chosen identity I would be able to explain it to them, but I guess not.
I kind of figured they wouldn’t listen, but hey, worth a shot I guess.
It turns out they are not going to listen because they want to hear people agreeing and telling them they are correct. They did not want to hear about how the otherkin community is not going to fit their needs and that there are other communities suited for them like copinglink and otherhearted.
I understand why someone who would fit the copinglink (or other communities like overhearted) community would be attracted to the otherkin community, but they are not going to get the support they need. Someone forcing themselves into a community that does not work for them is not healthy either. This would of been something I would of brought up with them if they did not run away and block me.
