angy, kin discourse
reasons why you should be shitty to kin people
- they're often mentally ill so they're an easy target
- large overlap with the queer community (ive never seen a straight kinnie) means they're used to being treated like garbage, they'll be fine
- you know how it's not cool to hate on furries anymore? well it is in this case!
- the status quo is against them, or occasionally neutral, so nobody's gonna stop you
- it's incredibly easy to make it seem like a weird sex thing and tell them to stop faving photos of your dogs you fucking zoophile
- there's nothing that says "cool and self confident" quite like shitting on vulnerable people who are doing nothing wrong
@monorail @hierarchon *penny snapcube voice* you know me, penny parker, notorious conservative
i have a dnd character who is a wizard and studies thaumatology, literally "study of miracles". she's into writing spells and tearing apart how magic works. but unlike a lot of fantasy like "oh you must read the works of the elders who had a deep connection with magic" she's very much a scientist about it, doing experiments and publishing papers
when she explains what she does to people, she often gets questions like, what specific kinds of things is she trying to figure out. her go-to answer is that a huge unsolved mystery in her field is why everything in magic seems to happen in multiples of six seconds. it's this constant throughout different schools of magic, independently discovered by spellcrafters from different cultures... it seems fundamental, but why? what's special about six seconds?
of course, the dnd rules state that six seconds is the length of a combat round, but she doesn't know that

cis person: so did you, uhhhh, get the surgery?
me: *nods and pulls back my hood, revealing a pair of horns with visible scarring at the base where they meet my forehead*
cis person: oh shit
@lynnesbian My personal favorite is referring to "allism" as if it's a disorder, talking about its symptoms, using phrases like "people who suffer from allism" or else just "the allistics," etc
there's something really powerful about saying shit like "the neurotypicals are at it again"
like you cannot escape the fact that pretty much everyone treats people with mental illnesses as weird and easy to make fun of and lesser than "normal" people, and rejecting it and turning it on its head feels really good
a bug, not a feature.
