Phrase lifted from some song. It is now an allusion to the futility of trying to claim copyright on generic, pointless ideas, particularly within internet fandoms. Has something to do with purple dogs, swans with dogs shoved up their asses, and deviantart.com. Maybe. We can't say for sure.

The horrible, fiery collision of the otaku and otherkin subcultures. I.e., people who believe they are somehow involved with/reincarnated from the souls of anime/video game characters. Japanese pop culture is literally their religion. And no, it's not a joke. They are the ultimate illustration of how utterly batshit insane the Internet has become.
After I heard about the otakukin, everything else seems sane by comparison. Even shitting dicknipples.

Crazy people on the internet who desperately try to make themselves seem cool by claiming to be a reincarnated version of some kind of popular, charismatic animal or a monster they heard about in a roleplaying game. Usually they justify this by insisting their daydreams have some kind of bearing on the real world. It generally does not work, except with fellow otherkin and of course furries.
Lately the otherkin have branched off into even more mind-bogglingly insane territory with the otakukin movement.

I don't care how big the wingspan of your fifty-foot-tall-humanoid-dragon-soul is, Mr. Otherkin. I still don't like you.

Abbreviation for "Chat On The Internet".
A mysterious shadow organization of absurdists, artists, intellectuals and cynics said to be behind...nothing important, really. Except being funnier and better than you.

When my friend's messageboard was suddenly and cataclysmically overrun by cartoon supervillains, I knew those COTI bastards were behind it.

Big fat ugly Japanese ogre with horns, fangs, and an odd penchant for wearing tiger skins.

Man I just bought a Balinese garuda mask, a Hokusai poster and a dozen maneki neko off eBay. I'm such a rice cracker.

A furry/anime artist/other talentless, oversensitive type who gets mad at a particular person (usually a female that they have a creepy, backwards crush on) and goes around trying to get even in such ridiculous fashions as writing innacurate, stupid definitions including their real name.
