hi! idk where to go for this question. i’m japanese and have usually identified with jpns anime characters, but the anime character i’m considering identifying with atm is white (he’s english). i feel really weird abt this, because i understand the racism behind white ppl and poc identifying outside of their race, but since he’s white… i dont know. i dont think it makes a difference that the source is japanese, but im still concerned and i’d rather not id with him if it’s bad!

Hi there, friend. I’m sorry that you’re feeling weird and uncomfortable. I hope that my answer can make you feel better. Please don’t take anything…

honestly, one day we should all go through the otherkin tag and just report any and all spam that should be filtered. i see so many trolls and assholes there.

That would be really nice, but I’m not sure there’s a good way to do it. Sadly, unlike a real community tags are unmoderated.

hey, i need help. i’m fictionkin and otherkin, but lately i’ve been feeling really… empty. like i feel like i’m in a shift for a kin i haven’t even discovered yet. i feel sick and scared and lonely, and i’m really not sure what to do. i’ve even been getting foggy memories from whatever kintype this may be, and they’re completely unrelated to any kintype i’ve recognized. i’m fairly certain my hair was black and i had tan skin, and i was likely masc identifying and presenting (cont)

(cont) but i’m not completely sure. i honestly just feel like something is missing. what should i do? could this be a kintype, or am…

Otherkin is not a scientific theory. It is not a fact that its believers are looking to prove true or false. It is not an…

Ive seen a lot of antikin start using the agurement of their religion. It’s mostly used against Fickin and someone I used to follow used it as their arguement for being anti-Fickin but not anti-otherkin. But they were very aggressive, stating that “it’s not possible bc my religion says so!!!! You’re not fictional characters!!!!” like that’s literally what they were saying. I wanted to know if this is a new argument or not and how to deal with it bc anons have used it agianst me before.

I actually haven’t heard someone argue that the existence of fictionkin was somehow ‘against their religion’ yet. Its an…. interesting one. I suppose if it were…

i heard of a kinshift thing called a “cameo shift” where you shift to something you arent kin with– Is that possible for fictionkin?? i think yesterday i shifted to a character i knew from canon but i don’t think im kin with them too?

The definition of a cameo shift is when you experience a shift into the state of someone who is not among your kintypes/kinselves. Personally, I…

Hey, @asksomeotherkin made a post about not being kin outside your race. They p much said that you shouldn’t “be kin outside your race” which isn’t a thing bc you don’t choose kintypes.

I’m tired. Everyone knows how I feel about this topic. Your current body and the body of your kinself don’t have to have anything in…
