Rules
So I thought i’d get some actual rules written, for the trueotherkin blog.
I don’t think it needs to be said but anyone is permitted to read this blog, unless you get yourself banned from even doing that.
To expect to become an approved submitter, or having your posts approved, you should conform to the following rules:
1) In the description I mention a few kin types that I find to be invalid by default. This does not mean I cannot be convinced otherwise. It means the burden of evidence for the reasonability of your claim is going to be greater than those who say that they are simply a fox or something.
2) Trolling otherkin in general, don’t even bother, your post will not be approved.
3) As I described before in my “Where to draw the line” post, If you are a kin claiming to be a fictional species, like an MLPkin or a pokemon kin, this is going to be far more acceptable, than if you are claiming to be Twilight Sparkle.
3a) As a corollary to the last one, if you are Steven Universe kin or Homestuck kin, forget about posting here. These are just tumblr bandwagons. Please grow up.
4) If you have made yourself designer pronouns, like ones based on species and not gender, do not expect to be approved to post or to have your submissions approved. This means, pretty much, that you do not know what a gender is.
5) On the subject of genders, Hermaphrodite pronouns are acceptable, as well as being genderfluid, as well as being binary (male/female) and even no gender is acceptable. Please do not use tri-gender to mean you are genderfluid. If you have made up your own gender, expect to have to explain why before you get to post.
6) If you have made yourself a designer sexual orientation, it will be evaluated for reasonability, and if not found out to be so, you will not be approved to post. This will probably be more weakly enforced than the others, but is here so that if someone does create an unreasonable orientation, they can be reasonably excluded from posting.
0) I reserve the right to alter these rules as peoples posts prove that the rules need altered and required.
dam @captain-s-mindfang looks like ur on a tumblr bandwagon……
okay but real talk this whole post (excluding a point or two) is such bullshit lmao. let’s go through this piece by piece
1) I’m like 90% sure the only reason you think some kintypes are invalid is because you aren’t any of them. Granted, I don’t understand the whole being a specific character thing, but I’ve met enough people who are serious about it that I can accept that it’s real.
3), 3a) Same as #1, but also what proof can you give for your own kintype?
5) Not sure if you’re aware but hermaphrodite is not a word we use to describe a human. You’re either referring to intersex individuals or nonbinary individuals. And I’m really not sure why you think you can decide whether other people’s genders are real or not. Did someone appoint you as chief of the gender police?
6) Ohhh nooooooooo how dare people try to find a way to explain their experiences…… terrible….
Like what the fuck do those last two even have to do with otherkin? Nothing. Otherkinity has nothing to do with gender or sexual/romantic orientation.
Normally I’m all for “““gatekeeping””” but jfc this is just plain bitterness and unwillingness to think past your own experiences. You seem to have a very “guilty until proven innocent” mindset when it comes to whether someone’s experiences are real or not.
Wow, and people say *I’m* some kind of elitist douchecanoe. I think you found the new prize winner. Otherkin looking down on fictionkin is so 2007.
