[Part 1] The thing with factkin is just… If someone claims to be kin with… let’s say… Augustus Caesar… okay fine, he died like… 2000 years ago. I know being kin isn’t automaticly reincarnation but in this case… if you are Augustus Caesar reincarnated and still identify with him… sure, you’e kin with him. But… what these people don’t get about factkin when it comes to people that are still alive in our time is… [tbc]

[Part 2] The person is STILL ALIVE. I mean… how is someone suppose to be… Bill Gates if Bill Gates is Bill Gates? Kin means to BE that person, character, being. Fictional Characters or people that died over hundreds of years DON’T exists in this world anymore… so someone can be them through astral projection or reincarnation… but with people that are still here in this world it isn’t possible. Factkins like these just can’t be anything than fake. I don’t get how anti-kin can’t see this..

Well, I would assume it works in the same way spiritual godkin of this world (like Zeus or Thor, and not like me) work. It’s a different version from some other version of our realm. Canon divergence and all that. Because from what I hear, the Thor of this world probably is still off doing thundery god things, and someone who’s a Thor incarnate is a Thor from some other version of our realm.

So theoretically, if we accept that logic as true because we can’t prove either way, factkin of people still alive could exist.

But I have seen two legitimate factkin in my entire life (it was one person on anon and another they mentioned), and they refused to come off anon because they were terrified of the hatred. And that’s taking them at their word with zero anecdotal proof. They could have been lying.

What I’m saying here is that while it is theoretically possible, the chances of you meeting a legitimate factkin person is nigh zero. I won’t say they don’t exist because we don’t know for sure that they don’t. But your chances of meeting one are so close to zero that it’s not a stretch to say they don’t exist.

Factkin as a term was created by antis / trolls (let’s be honest, they’re the same). So largely, everything about factkin is bullshit, and should be treated as such. If you are coming across someone who insists they’re Hitler, well, cross them off as edgier than a broken windowpane and not all that far off from the neo-nazi who broke it.

So that’s how it mostly ends up being. They probably do exist, but nobody is going to fault you for being incredibly skeptical. That’s all.
