During my rite of manhood I had to stay out in the wild for three days without food or water or shelter and after those three hard days I got to meet my spirit animal.
Words cannot describe how happy I was when I saw that it was Son Goku.

hey yeah let's make fun of people with brain problems that's always worth a laugh
I mean yeah it really sucks that many of them have untreated/undiagnosed mental illnesses/are just kind of sad,
but it kind of sucks to be trying to make otherkin junk and trans issues the same thing
yeah, it's one thing to have brain problems, or identity issues (as a queer male with anxiety/depression issues, i totally get that)
but conflating "no one will call me a kitty cat" with "hey i tried to use the bathroom, and now i'm in jail" or "my partner is dying and i can't go see him" is more than a little harmful, and that bugs me

A lot of this seems to just be highly ingrained body dismorphia given different labels.
I can understand that. That's fine.
but, i guess i'm saying there is degrees of tolerance here, and i'm not at them.
Hating yourself because you aren't fat? okay. that makes sense. i can understand this. hating yourself because you're not bruce banner, that's where you lose me.

right but again untreated mental illnesses and also probably a good amount of ignorance
laughing at how stupid and insane you think these people are is not the right thing to do
Ignorance only goes so far
When your response to someone saying "we should treat your scoliosis" is "YOU'RE DISCRIMINATING AGAINST ME," then it becomes another issue entirely
I've seen more than my share of cases where genuine help/advice is met with claims of oppression, where the culture itself (not the people, in that regard, I completely agree with you) becomes toxic
Though my plans to change my name to Dinosaur are completely accurate, i don't believe i am in fact a Tyrannosaurus

I mean I genuinely think a lot of Otherkin are just misguided kids trying to feel special on the internet.
But a lot of it still makes my blood boil.
There was this one article about how coming out for LGBTQ is now so expected, accepted and generally blase whereas the REAL trauma is coming out for Otherkin. I wanted to poop in their mouths.

I want to do with you

ArtreusI'm a wizardAnd that looks fucked upRegistered Userregular
Consider the following. You have created a community in which someone can claim to be an autistic pangender asexual demiromantic trans-Asian cat otherkin and not be immediately denounced as a troll. Whether you think these identities are valid or not, you find it plausible that someone would believe they are a Korean cat with autism and appropriate social justice terminology to defend that belief. What does that say about the state of your community? (And that’s not even starting on the people who actually supported us).
I find it so utterly absurd that a movement whose original purpose was to defend the rights of POC, trans* individuals, and other oppressed groups has been co-opted by people who believe they are dragons or that they have Homestuck characters living inside their head. It’s hilarious to me. It’s also incredibly offensive. I think what happened is that the SJ movement’s message of acceptance was somehow generalized to mean that if you don’t accept everything,you are a bigot —and the outcasts of the internet, the furries, the soulbonders, latched onto that, because they had finally found a place where no one could make fun of them. A “safe space”, if you will.
But it’s completely stupid (tw: ableism) and it trivializes the struggles of people who actually suffer from oppression (people laughing at you on the internet is not oppression). It also enables unhealthy escapist attitudes and, in some cases, severe mental illness. One of our more fervent supporters is a diagnosed schizophrenic, who’s chalked up their schizophrenic delusions to their identity as a “multiple system”. Don’t tell them to get treatment, or you’re being oppressive! In short: the Tumblr SJ community has turned into a giant joke. And what better way to lampoon it than with, well… a giant joke?

you're just mad 'cause you think you're a jellyfish
im my own worst anime
the entertainment industry is literally built on it.
we need to live in that one Slider's universe where everyone is on drugs forever
maybe later we can go down to the hospital and do jumping jacks in front of all the sick kids
But I'm not gonna call you that, and maybe don't call that discrimination
so I guess that would fit
I.
I don't know what i think about anything anymore.
