>>87794479
When people actually start believing it and acting like it, instead of just being dumb teenagers trying to get attention online.

I still can't believe this shit made it past the dA era.

>>87793603

>>87795443
Where did you get this picture of my /kin/?

>>87795042
kintypes are a special breed of crazy

I think it all started with the personal pronoun bullshit. Suddenly people were inventing new genders left and right and also coming up with shitloads of new terms of their own for their pronouns, like xir instead of him/her. The fact that this shit was taken seriously and even supported by various institutions, like some media and universities, encouraged people to go even deeper into crazy.

So, inventing a bullshit gender for yourself like aromantic sapiosexual or whatever is passé, inventing pronouns is nice and all but everyone does it. In come kintypes. It's where you literally believe yourself to be "kin", or be, something other than human.

At first, it was wolfkin and the like, the crazy kids who walk around with fake ears and tail and talk how they actually are wolves, just stuck in a human body, and who occasionally act weirdly and claim this is because their wolf self is influencing their behaviour.

But it just kept getting crazier and crazier. Dragonkin, unicornkin, whatever.
So by now, you have, among others, fictionkin, where teenagers literally try to claim they ARE a certain fictional character (yes), just trapped in a human body. Or angelkin or #actuallydivine or whatever, where folks think (or claim they think for internet points) they are literally celestial, divine beings like angels, and make whiny posts about how their clothes are cramping their (spiritual) wings. Etc.

It's like a weird internet club where you earn points by being super weird in a "unique" way. I bet you there are pokemonkin people.

These sad abominations are what you get when you destroy authentic culture and identity and replace it with consumerism and liberal gibberish. Though there are historical precedents (The Suffering Of Young Werther) these things have gotten way out of hand nowadays.

>>87795487
I think they're just insecure preteens trying to get attention in a way that seems to net sympathy, acceptance, being special and unique and delicate, and the precious oppression points everyone at tumblr uses to win arguments

>>87795676
Do you think there are people who think they're kin with historical figures? Is there a tumblrina out there who thinks that they used to be Hitler?

is this hypercrisis?

>>87795487
I think most of it was authentic up until about 2013, when even surface dwellers caught on to this whole bizarre kintype thing. It also has varying levels of sincerity, so you have people saying they're kin with something as a bungled shorthand for describing how much they enjoy it. Without realizing that kin is also used by people who think they're dragons.

>>87795763
Very possibly yes
I haven't seen them but I'd almost promise you there is a tumblrina somewhere claiming they're jeanne d'arc kin or anne frank kin, for example. Hitlerkin is a bit edgy but honestly I wouldn't be surprised.

I can definitely promise you there are shitloads of undertalecharacterkin people, though.

Can I be mootkin?

>>87795780
I saw a documentary somewhere online. You had a bunch of ultra emo teens walking around with tails sadly hanging from the bum of their black skinny jeans and talking about their need to be in a pack and occasionally howl at the moon. It was sad. Sad.

>>87795970
Yes anon
If you truly feel it in your heart, if you KNOW that you identify as and are, in fact, moot, he is within you (no homo), he is locked in your body, then who is anyone to tell you it's not true?

im /kin/ with the male swimmer from pokemon sun and moon

but in all seriousness, most fictionkin are just 13/14 year olds just doing dumb shit. they're kids, of course they're not gonna get a free pass for doing something stupid, but they usually out grow this phase.

Now, there are some rare cases where people in there early and mid twenties are fictionkin too, there's just no hope for them.

How the fuck do you even figure something like that out?

>>87799736

Unilateral declaration, much like wars.
You basically just announce that this is what you are doing now.
Except you don't have half a million men with tanks and planes march over Poland and rounding up their army as soon as the units surrender, no you just decide that that's kinda it now.
And their territory remains defiantly unconquered outside your head.

My guess on the more 'serious' types is mental illness + relating to a character or idea so heavily it becomes empathetic. Mix that with pre-teen/teens and you got otherkin.

Hypercrisis is specifically the crossing between the realms of fiction and reality through multiversal possibilities.

Fictionkin just like to roleplay and want to tell people about how much they like to roleplay.

I met a girl who actually believed in it one time. I asked a few questions and when I pretty much backed it into a corner she confessed that it's basically a coping mechanism to help with her psychological illnesses. She literally used the term "mental illness" to describe it, if I recall.

the Internet was a mistake

I don't get this kin shit. Normally when I hear someone say "I'm kin to ___," it's a Southerner referring to being related to someone else.

But if I understand right, when a tumblrite uses it, they mean to say they literally -are- the character or animal or what the fuck ever in another body? Why the fuck isn't this treated the same as DID or any number of other personality disorders?

This is very different from thinking you were Patrick Star in a past life. Mostly because it's an actual, genuine mental illness.

As much as /r/atheism and other associated retards may insist otherwise, faith is an inherent part of being human. Humans must have "faith" in something, whether it be their local sports team or a political party or a bunch of sticks tied together to resemble a cow. It's as inherent as the opposable thumb. People need to believe in something, and when you tell people they shouldn't believe in something you end up finding dumb people who believe they once existed as a cartoon character.

But the second reply of this thread also hit the nail on the head when he said kids just want attention. Especially female kids. Especially female kids going through puberty. Especially female kids going through puberty on tumblr.

>wikipedia definition
Is it just me, or does that Wikipedia article not have ANYTHING to do with fiction? It sounds like it's about the relationships between human beings or something.

>>87811962
The reason anthropologists call it "fictive" is because it refers to made-up kin groups. Like how a kid refers to adult friends of their parents as "Uncle ___" or people call an unrelated friend "cousin".

It doesn't have anything to do with the weird fan idea.

>>87811962
yes, it's completely misinterpreted

>>87804013
> much more serious problem within American society

are you telling me some 13 year old's awkward wet dream phase is the worst thing happening to america right now

>>87812383
as far as society is concerned, white guilt being completely out of control and identity politics are doing a lot of damage

So if you have Historykin, that basically means identifying as real people.

This isn't a mystical reincarnation thing, so what is stopping you from identifying as someone who is alive?

Can I go to that tumblr user and say: "hi, I kin as you, and I really like the Nutshack so as a youkin I know that you wouldn't say that, so please delete this uwu"?

>>87813053
I think Thanfiction (a fanfic author who was in LotR and Potter fandoms among other things) did something kinda like that. S/he claimed to be able to channel the spirit of Elijah Wood, or some shit like that.
