I used to be very rude to otherkin people so here is my current standpoint:

I’m ok with kin as long as they realize they aren’t their kin physically.

I’m ok with kin if it’s to cope.

I’m ok with kin if it’s your religion.

I’m ok with kin if you feel spiritually connected to an animal.

I am NOT ok with factkin, that’s super, super creepy.

I am NOT ok with literally believing you are your kin, that’s not healthy.

I am NOT ok with fictionkin, that is someone else’s creation.

I am NOT ok with kins who have “astral limbs.” That is known as phantom limbs disorder, please seek help. It’s not healthy.

I am NOT ok with kin who harass others or send death threats.

I am NOT ok with people who use their kin to justify bad behavior.

If you see a post I reblogged that was aggressive or contradictory to this, that was before. I have done more research and talking to actual kin and have reconsidered my standpoint.

You say you’ve done research on otherkin, but nearly everything you just said was wrong…
