Hello! I really hope this is okay to ask this here… I have no one else to go to and I’ve been having a really hard time with trying to deny and suppress these kin feels I have been getting, Because from what I have heard a lot of people say it is very wrong, and impossible to be kin with a character who is physically disabled if you irl are able bodied. Could I get some of your thoughts on this? At least just go easy on me if you feel the same as others I have seen ;;; thank you!

I am so sorry that you are being harassed this way. It is absolutely possible for you, or anyone else, disabled or able bodied, to…

Don’t you think there is a problem with White people taking on attributes of POC characters? Fictionkin don’t occur in a vacuum. There are centuries of cultural appropriation in the background of you claiming to be, on some level, a Japanese person.

No. No no no. A thousand times no. You fundamentally misunderstand fictionkin. There is no ‘taking on attributes’. Fictionkin is not something anyone volunteers to be.…

I’ve seen a lot of people saying that white people can’t be fictionkin with non-white characters, what’s your opinion on this?

I’ve already said a lot on this: http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/tagged/racism The short answer is that as long as you are not invading spaces, or taking up resources meant…

I am white, and I think I might be fictionkin with a character of color. Or he may just be a headmate? Point is, this seems like a situation where I need to check my privilege. Do you have any advice regarding staying in my lane?

I have lots to say: http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/tagged/racism

PSA

I think there have been some misconceptions from non-kin about people who are fictionkin with a character who is another race. People who are kin…

What people say: “You can’t be kin of a non-white person if you are white!” What it sounds like they’re saying: “It is empirically impossible…

you could say that person was holding a prejudiced viewpoint. but not a racist one, in such a situation. and while you might think your views are completely separate from your race, gender, etc, consider that all of these things affect the way you think on a subconscious level?? These things all affect your opinions. (I don’t even disagree with you on the argument you made. Just don’t like the way you handled that anon.)

That’s fair, anon. I agree, the person was prejudiced, and probably not actively racist. I chose my wording carefully, to make them think about what…

No offense but it really isn’t your place like, at all to determine whether or not its racist for white people to be kin with non-white characters if you, too, are white. Which is probably why that other anon was asking.

Its not my place to determine anything. Its my place to give my opinion on everything. Whether people listen to me or not is their…

hi, sorry if this is a rude/invasive question, but are you white? i see you talking about issues of kin and race a lot and i’m kind of wary of white people who talk about that so i was just wondering.

This is a rude/invasive question. I find it offensive, and frankly racist, that you would base your evaluation of the merit of any person’s words…
