things that DO make this website “toxic”:
- adults holding young minors to the exact same standards as them
- staff ignoring literal nazis and pedophiles
- the popular idea on here that mildly (quote unquote) “problematic” statements always hold the exact same weight regardless of whether they were made 5 minutes ago or 5 years ago
- terfs

things that DON’T make this website “toxic”:
- calling white people “mayonnaise”
- kids still figuring out their respective mental states
- people constantly finding out new terms for whatever gender they want to identify by
- people identifying as otherkin and not even hurting anyone else by doing that

The otherkin one is a bit iffy though. Like, if someone claims to be otherkin of a character you made as a coping mechanism then guilt tripping you for being mad that they are hijacking your coping character, then that is toxic.

okay, but that’s GUILT TRIPPING being toxic, not otherkinity being toxic?? that’s like saying stopsigns are dangerous because a murderer used one to chop somebody’s head off. the murderer is the dangerous part, not the stop sign. otherkinity isn’t toxic. period.

Even claiming to be the character someone else made to cope with something is toxic though since yo’re taking their pain and exploiting it. Like, if a schizophrenic makes a character based off of their hallucinations and you claim to be that character IRL, you’re a dick. And no, this isn’t some random scenario, this is something I’ve seen actually happen.

hi! are you schizophrenic? cause i am! you don’t get a say in that!
hi! are you otherkin? cause i am! you don’t get a say in that either!
hi! do you have proof or links or receipts? cause i haven’t seen em!
you’re reaching. so far. sooo far. ask somebody to pass you the fucking pasta reaching across the table like this is rude.

@silver-tongues-blog also, you using the suffering of schizophrenics to try and prove your argument (that isn’t even about schizophrenia) is exploitation so go fuck yaself

And you’re overgeneralizing my statement. I said that claiming to be otherkin of someones coping character is toxic but you misconstrue that to encompass the entirety of otherkin.

Claiming to be otherkin of someones coping character IS toxic.

and you’re trying to use a specific made up example to demonize otherkin and make them seem toxic
yeah, claiming the identity of someone’s coping character is toxic
that isn’t otherkinity, that isn’t otherkin being toxic, that doesn’t make otherkin toxic
your argument is toxic though! nice how you’re ignoring the fact that you did the exact thing you said you were against: exploiting the pain of mentally ill people for your own benefit

I’m not demonizing otherkin. I’m “demonizing” those who claim to be kin with someones coping character. you’re the one who is generalizing my statement.

So you’re saying that if someone has a character they use to cope with mental illness or trauma and someone claims kin with it, the creator isn’t allowed to do anyhting?

1: okay, don’t say otherkin are toxic then. they aren’t. say that people who exploit people’s coping mechanisms are toxic. that’s like saying water is bad because people have drowned in it. water isn’t bad, murder is bad. otherkin aren’t fucking toxic. OTHERKIN AREN’T FUCKING TOXIC. OTHERKIN. AREN’T. FUCKING. TOXIC.

2: where the fuck did i say that? where the fuck did i say that it’s okay for someone to claim kin with a coping character? find that. find it. i’ve been saying that people SHOULDN’T do that this entire fucking time, and that people actually DON’T do it cause they’re decent fucking people. you still have yet to supply an example of someone claiming kin with a coping character against their wishes. most otherkin ARE OTHERKIN for fucking COPING REASONS!! shocker! stop making shit up oh my god

1) Otherkin arn’t toxic, the ones who claim to be someone elses coping character are

2) you’re getting mad at me for saying that people who claim to be someones coping character are toxic so I assumed you think that’s permissible.

i’m not! getting mad at you! for saying people who claim to be a coping character! are toxic! I WAS! AGREEING WITH YOU! THAT CLAIMING TO BE A COPING CHARACTER! IS TOXIC!

i was getting MAD AT YOU for using the made up example of somebody doing a shitty thing (such as claiming the identity of a coping character) and trying to apply the example that never happened to an entire group of people who would never do that

“the otherkin one is iffy” you said
otherkin are toxic is what you meant. that is what that meant. august said otherkin weren’t toxic and you disagreed with them. period.

otherkin! AREN’T TOXIC! people who claim the identity of coping characters ARE TOXIC! but guess what? PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THE IDENTITY OF COPING CHARACTERS
A R E N ’ T
O T H E R K I N

I wasn’t using it to condemn an entire group. I never said that all otherkin are bad. I said just the ones who claim to be someone elses coping character are.

Did… Did you not even read any of this?

From this guy: “PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THE IDENTITY OF COPING CHARACTERS
A R E N ’ T 
O T H E R K I N”

From Wikipedia: “Otherkin are people who identify as partially or entirely non-human. Some say that they are, in spirit if not in body, not human. This is explained by some members of the otherkin community as possible through reincarnation, having a non-human soul, ancestry, or symbolic metaphor.”

From UrbanDictionary: “Otherkin are a fringe group of human society who, for one reason or another, believe themselves to be the reincarnation of mythic creatures, typically elves, though others include dragons, demons, vampires, ogres, deities, and so on. Related groups include therianthropes, who believe themselves reincarnations of animal souls, and otakin/otakukin, people who think they are reincarnations of fictitious characters from Japanese anime, manga, and video games.”

Uh…?

No point using logic on them, they have way too many fallacies like hasty generalization, no true scottsman, ad hominem, personal incredulity, composition/division and the classic texas sharpshooter. Also the hindsight bias.

wow guys holy shit. otherkin are in no way toxic.
otherkin is mostly used as an umbrella term but most of the time it’s used to say that the person feels as thought they were a nonhuman creature in a past life, FICTIONKIN is when someone identifies as a character. no one CHOOSES their kintypes and if they WERE kin with someone’s coping character it would be shitty to go around flaunting that because THEN you would be exploiting their pain. the same rules of any group apply to otherkin, that some of them are LOUDLY SHITTY, and most of them are quietly NOT. otherkin are not toxic and have done nothing wrong. they have not harmed anyone else by existing and saying otherwise would be shitty. I can understand why you wouldn’t like them because you obviously don’t have a very firm grasp on what it actually is and the misunderstanding leads to dislike. being otherkin is not toxic. period.

Wow, you just copied the post from @rosexknight ; you didn’t prove a point and you didn’t revise anything you said, because it clearly says in the urban dictionary one, “related groups include”, if point you were trying to make was disproving the previous post

fictionkin are a type of otherkin. that’s what it proves.
Also, if you get your head out of your ass and actually read the first post, i never said all otherkin are toxic. I explicitly said the ones who claim to be kin with someone elses coping characters are.

“Like, if someone claims to be otherkin of a character you made as a coping mechanism then guilt tripping you for being mad that they are hijacking your coping character, then that is toxic.”
ok, no, that wasn’t explicit at all, you said that claiming kin with a character that is a coping mechanism THEN guilt tripping because the creator gets mad THATS toxic; however I believe that was already said; also, originally I didn’t actually originally talked about the original post; and yes, that proves that fictionkin is a part of otherkin, but the worst thing here is your blatant generalization of this

No, it was saying otherkin who do that are toxic, not every otherkin. Stop overgeneralizing my statements. I’ve said multiple times the toxic otherkin are the ones who claim to be kin with someone elses coping character.

Nobody’s immune to breast cancer.

Best. Ever.
Get that on your blogs. NOW.

putting this on my blog for reasons.

Reblogging for similar reasons.

[This is fucking awesome.]

OOC: Very good idea!!

still my fav

OKAY LISTEN UP BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING SUPER IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN AND MOST OF YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW

It’s the inclusion of Storm. (Storm? Pretty sure that’s Storm.) And in a way where, yes, representation saves lives.

See, here’s a weird medical fact: black women are more likely to get breast cancer and nobody knows why. It’s a medical mystery. Now, I want you to do a fun exercise: tell me the last time you saw a breast cancer awareness campaign that included black women. Go on, I’ll wait. Speaking as someone active with the cause whose aunt is even more active with the cause, here’s my answer: In eight years of working for awareness across four states, I have never seen a single black woman in any breast cancer campaign. Ever.

Black women are also more likely to die of breast cancer because they’re less likely to catch it early. That’s not genetics, that’s math. The sooner you begin treatment, the better your prognosis. Black women are less likely to know how to do self-exams and because of the socioeconomic divide, less likely to see an OB/GYN annually. And they’re ignored by awareness campaigns.

Tell your black friends. And spread this like wildfire. Because they are more at risk than you are.

the worst part is that they aren’t even making eye contact.
Ruby is clearly looking above lapis and lapis is just amused at how smol and dorky someone as strong as garnet is when split.
Also ruby is already in canon lesbians with sapphire

how long until ppl complain that Ruby and Sapphire are problematic as a couple because of how much they distracted each other.

lesbians: *love each other*

tumblr dot hell: uh…seems a little problematic

I thought the fact they were flirting and getting distracted served to highlight how they were stronger together as Garnet than separated as Ruby and Sapphire. Also, fun fact: couples flirt alot. The Sun could be blowing up and I’d still look at my bf and be all “still not as hot as you” Like it’s just a thing they do.

Also, whenever they are garnet, they are in agreement with each other and having a healthy relationship meaning they’ve had a pretty healthy relationship for thousands of years.

That person is an absolute moron, I experience that first hand, fucking slap that person for me please.

they weren’t.

 they said that, yes, claiming to be someone’s coping character is bad and shouldn’t happen but that alone shouldn’t damn the whole otherkin community as ‘toxic’. a few bad things shouldn’t damn a whole group of people.

thats all the person was trying to say. 

Ok, then yes that is true. It’s unfair if like a few ppl do it and the whole group gets blamed.

Sorry, I didn’t know, this person told me otherwise

No silver weren’t. Infact silver repeatedly said they aren’t damming all otherkin or fictionkin for the actions of the few. The other person wouldn’t accept that and kept acting like they were generalizing. You can check silvers blog if you wanna be sure. The posts are right there for you to mske your own judgement

*scratches head*

god damn

yeah hey i’m actually fucking schizophrenic and have coping characters!
silver’s VERY FIRST STATEMENT
was that otherkin are toxic because there are people who claim the identity of coping characters
i defended otherkin and said that those people who do that are horrible
and they just
they didn’t even twist my words they just went straight to making that shit up and pulling shit out of their ass you can go on my blog and read the argument it’s absolutely amazing how they ignore literally everything i say and just make shit up
me: yeah guilt tripping and taking people’s coping characters is super bad i agree
them: YOU’RE ACCUSING ME OF GUILT TRIPPING AND SUPPORTING IDENTIFYING AS COPING CHARACTERS
me: holy fuck what

No, my very first statement was that SOME otherkin are toxic because they claim kin with other peopls coping characters. I never said all otherkin are toxic, you’re the one who overgeneralized my statement.

I listed every fallacy they were using including the no true scottsman (anyone who X isn’t a real Y) and the hindsight biased (that’s what I meant all along)

And their whole argument falls apart when they claim they were mad at me for using your example when they were getting pissy at me before I even mentioned you. Bottom line was they were overgeneralizing my statement and trying to apply it to all otherkin despite me explicitly saying it’s only the otherkin who claim kin with coping characters and they refused to admit that they were wrong.

later after jasper is finally allies with the other gems, she gets poofed trying to protect steven on a mission. her clothing has a few tweaks but the big difference is just how short jasper has made her hair. steven asks about it and she brushes him and the others off. she becomes more irritable but quieter to be normal. jasper gets depressed af with low confidence in herself and her identity .”if i cant protect some human, what kind of jasper am i”

jasper literally just seeing herself as a liability in a war. jasper thinking of herself as useless and unfit to be a jasper. 

ok im done, everyone can carry on about their business.

i know yall are probably sick of seeing this but i needed to add closure to this

OK LAST ONE I SWEAR
