Oh wow, you don’t know about fictionkin?
https://otherkin.fandom.com/wiki/Fictionkin
You can google fictionkin and you’ll see a lot of sources from a lot of different people on the phenomenon.
At the end of the day, reality is a social construct, and some people have identities that break these social rules. Given a choice between upholding a hierarchy that has been thoroughly taken over by billionaires, or respecting people’s identities, I respect identities. Even if they’re rapists who abused My ex-wife. That’s how strongly I believe in My principles.
I dated someone who was that sort of detached from reality once, and after trying to humour them I realised that they were just a stupid narcisit … so unless this Etherian Princess you know has demonstrable powers, is in charge of a large region of land, and is actually from Etheria, no I wouldn’t respect their identity.
But even if I did, I wouldn’t confuse how they identified with a work of fiction that is unrelated to their existence.
Again, I despise that monster with every fiber of My being. And yet there is no fiber of My being that thinks bigotry is an acceptable way to retaliate. So I’m not going to use ableist slurs on the princess, nor will I deny the princess’s identity.
So … you believe that they have a disability which causes them to identify that way?
…yes?
And in anticipation of what I’m worried you’re going to say next, I’ll say that gender dysphoria is a mental disorder too, it doesn’t make trans people invalid. Personality disorders don’t make otherkin invalid.
So, you’re a bigot who tries to avoid using bigoted phrasing for some reason
What, because I agree with you about the NPD?
I didn’t say that their identity meant they had a disability, that was you.
I don’t consider mental health problems to be a disability, and I don’t consider trans people to have mental health problems because of their identity.
You used an ableist slur on your friend. You called them a n*rcissist. You implied that being fictionkin is a result of narcissism.
Personality disorders can influence the manner in which kintypes present themselves, as I well know, for I am an otherkin with NPD. I disagree with you that being fictionkin is a result of narcissism, but I agree that in this particular case, the princess’s NPD has influenced the kind of kintype.
