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.
I literally said don’t claim to be otehrkin with someones character they use to cope with serious things. That’s why I used the word iffy because some otherkin is okay but some isn’t. And here is the specific example I was referencing.
At the very bottom they list certain characters they have which they do not wish to have people tag as kin for various reasons and #4 is because it’s a character they use to cope with their schizophrenia.
oh hey they said not to do that! that’s not an example of somebody going against them and doing it!!
“hey don’t murder this guy”
“OH MY GOD EVERYONE IS MURDERING THIS GUY SEE CAUSE THEY SAID NOT TO”
what the fuck???what the fuck
Actually it’s more like “please dont’ claim to be a character I created to cope with my schizophrenia”
“please don’t claim to be the character i created to cope with my schizophrenia”
(nobody does that)
some idiot without schizophrenia: LOOK AT HOW EVIL OTHERKIN ARE THEY’RE CLAIMING TO BE THIS CHARACTER
there we go are ya happier now
You seriously believe there arne’t peopel who do that? Why don’t you ask @deoxyrebornicleic about that and I’m sure they will tell you another story.
Also that analogy doesn’t work it’s more like “LOOK AT THIS PERSON WHO IS CLAIMING TO BE THE REAL LIFE REPRESENTATION OF MY HALUCINATION!”
