Lifor

Why is lying about being an Otherkin a bad thing? Who cares if it hurts the community. People are inevitably going to do it, constantly. There will be an inevitable massive flow of liars all over this website. When a tidal wave hits, you don’t try to bring the sand bags out, you just get out of the way. I say relax and ride the waves.

I think of my identity as being a damselfly-winged bullfrog and fairy. I am also an atheist, a rationalist, and very much of a materialist. I think I am most definitely not a damselfly winged bullfrog and fairy because I see no reason why I am one, in spirit or otherwise. I still like to imagine that is my identity though. The damselfly-winged bullfrog is an old friend that has long meant more to me than many people. I don’t care whether it exists or not, and I don’t see much of a difference between someone who genuinely has the spirit of a fairy, or an elf, or a wolf, and someone who simply enjoys imagining they do. It seems like that given that we all have human bodies, the result is pretty much the same either way.
