If you would like a perplexing day, search for "otherkin" on Twitter

I don't understand this phenomenon at all. I ESPECIALLY don't understand when people start calling out inanimate objects/substances as their otherkin.

I'm sure there was a thread on this some years back, but I can only find the "Yiff Me I'm Furry" one.

Yeah I was sure this had been covered

lol that tweet

my *ahem* recently self-published novel features a character that's not only otherkin but gains one of those hated 'nounself pronouns', guess that's another community alienated

i did not need to read this:

sometimes i peel back my foreskin and when i see my gooey play doh smeggy, i think "awww my wittle smol amandy is warm in there uwu"

the purpose of satire is to disgust

yeah i distinctly remember having a thread about this a couple years ago but i can't find it now

you wrote that bit about your wittle smol amandy?

qua/quail/quail/quails/quailself?

not quite that spectacular

also it's not quite the gratuitous self-naming decried in that article but w/e

wittle smol amandies for everyone

I'm just gonna say this because no one else will, but this is a mental illness afaic.

I mean imaginary play and roleplay and cons and whatnot - thats fine!

but impeding your coping in society because you insist you're a table, or having your legs cut off because you want to be a pot plant, thats just not healthy.
