Indulging someone's fantasy that they're using to mask deeper issues means they may not be getting help for those issues, and that is troubling.

Of course some of those otherkin may be doing it because being a special snowflake buys acceptance on the internet. Hopefully they will grow out of it like any other phase.

I think that 90% of them are just over imaginative teens who want to feel like they have a place in the world, are unique, or want to feel oppressed (otherkins are bad about comparing themselves to trans people).

It is the other 10% that is worrisome. They may have actual problems that are being ignore in favor of feeding their delusions on the internet.

This. The only otherkin I am aware of is a women in her 30s, and (no pun) has "other" serious issues in addition to this delusion.

Otherkin comparing themselves to trans people got shut down pretty fast a couple years ago. Trans people were like UH- NO. They only recently came back in full force, using the excuse that it's a "neurodivergent" thing. 9_9

Not gonna lie; I've seen exactly this same argument applied to transsexuals, e.g. http://thefederalist.com/2015/10/26/indulging-transgender-fantasies-makes-them-worse/

Are you implying that people who think they are actually Steve Rogers are the same as transGENDER? Because that sounds like what you are implying.

Not at all, although it's possible for someone to be both. I just think that the idea of trying to fix someone should be linked to evidence they're causing harm. A lot of awful shit has come from taking people who're different or strange and treating them as a problem to be solved.

I agree with you on that, since I have known two soulbonders (the forerunners of fictionkin) and bond of them were relatively sane, with the latter one possibly having a mild form of DID going on. I don't think either of them needed "fixing" because they weren't dangerous. In their cases, they would have to decide whether they need "fixing" and pursue it themselves.

*both of them

Because in many cases, the comparisin is an apt one. Yes, there are a few legit reasons for gender reassignment. But an awful lot of this is a massive head game that is being facilitated by social scientists engaged in a large scale experiment.

...ummmm?

And that is why Otherkin is dangerous, because it really does give credence to those accusations against gay and trans* people.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-08 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
ikr? all we need is when somebody comes out as trans people go lolol oh like those people who think they're actually Pikachu
