ik kinnies are cringe and annoying and dumb and etc etc whatever you wanna say but from being in kin communities for years what ive mostly seen is kinnies are primarily there 1. because theyre mentally ill and are trying to cope by identifying with characters that help them have a better self-image 2. because they have a legitimate spiritual belief that may be a part of a larger religious practice where they identify as non-human or similar 3. because they suffer from a psychotic delusion that they are a fictional character/non-human creature 4. because theyre an alter in a dissociative system and identifying as a fictional character helps them get a better sense of identity and find a community. i have not found “just for fun” kinnies to be anywhere near the majority or representative of the average experiences of people within the community - its mostly been a lot of young and very mentally ill people. and frankly at one point the obsession w hating anyone w a kin page or whatever bc “its cringe” im gonna be honest its just kind of ableist eventually. like. you wanna talk about when the kin community is actually harmful gross or shitty go ahead but also theres a lotta shit that just seems like its just.. “these people are weird and i dont get them so anything can and deserves to be said about them” ngl.

#and theres a lot that can be said about how kinnies can be shitty btw. #like. white kinnies are racist all the time and it really deserves to be called out. #but somehow thats never what gets criticized. #and i rather be there with the cringe and embarrassing people than hang w people who will call ME cringe and embarrassing for my psychosis #97
