Have you been here for the past couple of days? Making fun of religion around here gets you compared to Stalin. So no, I really don't see why the mockery of OP here is near-unanimous in that same environment.

You are just like Stalin! You'd suit a nice luxurious mustache too.

As far as I've seen, saying you're religious on the internet (or better yet, saying you're Christian) makes you the butt of all kinds of jokes and the target of all kinds of 'imaginary friend in the sky' jokes.

But aside from that, I think the reason is because the notion of otherkin is so unusually to people. It sounds like something that spawned from the Twilight craze so of course people on F!S are gonna rip it apart. I believe in people having close ties to animal spirits as well and the idea of believing that you have a wolf-self inhabiting your body still makes me go o.O

"Spawned from the Twilight craze"?!

The first otherkin of which we have definite records were around in the seventies, before the internet.

Of course, expecting random people on the internet to know this would be unreasonable, so I guess the point stands.

[ungoddly]

I think they're confusing "otherkin" with "wolfkin"? Not that that makes any more sense, since lycanthropy is one of the oldest recorded forms of anything like otherkin, isn't it?

Plus, "blame it on Twilight" seems to be the go-to for a lot of things. I once saw a comment saying that the sexualising of vampires was because of Twilight, and I was like "..."

[darael]

One of. The records I was talking about were the letters of the Silver Elves, but given that the lycanthrope (later more generically therian) community developed independently from the otherkin one (At one point the distinction was whether the associated animal was known to actually exist; those lines have blurred quite a lot in more recent years) it's quite hard to tell.

[ungoddly]

I figured that was the case. Th'art blatantly a better source on 'kin/therian stuff than me, though, since about 90% of what I know about their history comes via thee. (And the other 10% via psychology books, tumblr, and historical phenomenology)

No, claiming that only religion is reponsible for war and destruction gets you a reminder from history.
