I've only seen a few posts of it on tumblr, but I can only imagine it will soon explode and become tumblr's new "thing." Thank god I never ran in those circles on LJ.

I've been on tumblr for a while and I've only ever heard about it on here in these forums.

It's a very very small and obsuce part of fandom, and everyone acting like this is some new big "trend" are overeacting imo.

Every so often I'll come across a kid with five pages of an 'about me' and one of those is dedicated to whoever they 'kin' with, and rules like "don't follow me if you are also -kin to this character.'

it's easy enough to ignore but it's pretty strange to me.

Yeah thats pretty strange. At the end of the day though, they're still just a bunch of dumb weird kids playing pretend, so I always end up ignoreing them and forget about them entirely by tomarrow.

I think it's a pretty interesting symbolic condension of identity. There are so many modes of existing in our digitized and globally connected world that stereotyping is sometimes necessary, or at least convenient to communicate. Decades ago, saying "I'm a woman from France" would have served as a starting point to let another person know who you are. With National identities and Gender roles diversified like they are today, aligning oneself with fictional characters that are well known in your demographic is simply more practical and economic.
"Don't follow me if you're kin with Spongebob" is the equivalent of "I don't like roman catholics so don't bother."

Absolutely depends on the fandom you're in. You can be lucky and have a fandom completely free of it. And then there are fandoms with very loud and vocal fiction-kinner in it.

It's not the size of the movement. It's the fact that many of them are loud, agressive and very nasty behaving.

I accidentally managed to stumble over the deeper part of it. At first I could not believe that people were actually serious about it. But yes... they are.

I'm sure as hell are trying to avoid those circles but you know: What has once been seen can never again be unseen.
