Otherkin are a community of people who identify with non-human or partially non-human identities.

There are two belief systems in the community that can be set into two groups.

Spiritual otherkin: The belief that a non-human identity is caused due to the soul being non-human or a past life being non-human, such as soul misplacement.

Psychological/Mentalist otherkin: The belief that a non-human identity is caused due to imprinting on an animal at a young age or other means of imprint.

Otherkin do not believe they are phsyically their kintype(s) and know for certain they are not phsyically or biologically non-human.

Otherkin cannot choose their kintypes either, and can have more than one kintype.

Otherkin do however suffer shifts that cause them to act, feel or have the mentally of one of their kintypes. Not all otherkin have these shifts.
"Jessica is otherkin, I'm starting to believe I am too"

"I identify as otherkin as well, do you need some help with your identity?"
Get the Otherkin mug.
An offensive slur that is used against those who identify as otherkin, whether of spiritual or psychological belief.

It was based off of the transgender slur "tr//nnie" or "tr//nny" and is used by individuals today that do not even know what otherkin actually is.

If you did some research, you'd realise you're copinglink or just an uneducate cretin how thinks "kinning" a character = being similar to them.
"I'm such a Sakura kinnie!!"
"Do you even know what otherkin is?"

"You're a kinnie? Hey guys, look they're a fucking kinnie"
