i am otherkin, i am a dragon, and i also use that kintype for coping with my abuse and mental illness.

Actually it is the cause of your mental illness. Dont get it backwards.

chicken ๐Ÿ” / egg ๐Ÿฃ sort of situation there it sounds like ๐Ÿค”

That's like saying "you're fucked in the head because you're fucked in the head" tho, definitely is a symptom of sorts.

You call this low-effort, snally, but it is still better than our regular low-effort stuff.

Arguing what counts as "real" otherkin

How about none of them are real, for the sake of everybody's mental wellbeing?

I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.

You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

it helps BECAUSE i feel like a dragon. because identifying as/with something so strong helps when i feel vulnerable.

A hollow comfort whose foundation will crumble at the slightest resistance from any real struggle.

Wow, someone claiming to be otherkin when they don't even know if the word "kin" is countable or not! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ I've never been so outraged in my life.
