casting a wide net here because i am seriously so lost and the internet is not helping. i tried going to sublime's website and all i got was a lot of pretty words signifying nothing i can actually understand.

seriously this is confusing.

Delusional, appropriative nonsense.

[kickstart_my_heart]

um thats not actually very helpful, mister

[frigokinetic]

I have been wondering that myself...

[Clearly, Elsa's lack of exposure to Tumblr has made her uneducated mutantscum.]

[kickstart_my_heart]

its the weidest thing i literally do not understand

[diabhal_beag]

It sounds like a particularly strange form of 'otherkin' to me, just offhand.

[kickstart_my_heart]

and what the devil is 'otherkin'?

[comparative_insanity]

basically wishful thinking

assuming it's often people who want 2 feel like they belong
but who also feel let down / treated poorly by life etc
and so they project this onto what they perceive life is like as an oppressed minority and think that it's something they want
without any actual understanding of what being a part of an oppressed minority is like

and the beautiful thing is that when people react negatively, they see this as proof of their oppression
the human mind is amazing

[kickstart_my_heart]

i guess if they were mutants, they at least would have a concrete reason for feeling disenfranchised. its a psychological thing, right? wanting something solid to associate negative feelings with.

I don't know either. I think it's when someone thinks they should have been born as something else, like when I was little, I used to wish I was a horse instead.

[kickstart_my_heart]

...

why a horse?

[kamiizumi]

I googled it and I got a link to tumblr and now I think I'm even more confused.

[kickstart_my_heart]

i just use tumblr for pictures m8 this is all new to me.

Back where I... used to live... there were drugs that turned people into mutants. They couldn't reverse it, though. A lot of people went crazy.

Do you think that's related?

[kickstart_my_heart]

that

sounds legitimately terrifying.

[scorchedchivalry]

An attempt to align biology and the concept of the soul. Or misalign in this case.

[kickstart_my_heart]

not sure i get wher youre comin from

[knowitallgoddess]

If you find that one confusing, try transtemporal.

[kickstart_my_heart]

...










wot?

[hearmyfeels]

People who very strongly believe they're mutants, just trapped in human bodies. I don't know why you'd want to be one, meowbe fur all the cool powers.

Though really meowst powers aren't that nice. Not everyone gets to fly or go through walls or be invincible.

[kickstart_my_heart]

-...-

thats a lot of puns.

[batteredbatter]

Uh is that the thing where people think they're wolves or something?

[Koshi no]

[kickstart_my_heart]

according to miss caimbeulach, its kinda like that? not sure, mself

[thirdarrow]

It is an altered mental state in which humans delude themselves into believing that they belong to some other species. Seeing that their physiology still remains human, it may indeed qualify as a mental disorder. Perhaps even a syndrome.

Regrettably medical literature has not yet classified this as a disease. This may be due in part to the fact that its symptoms do not constitute immediate and obvious psychosis.

[kickstart_my_heart]

started thinking about it mself and wondered if it just comes from a mix of disenfranchisement, insecurity, resentment, and a need to belong. dont fit in with humans, so maybe theyd fit in with mutants, right?

Sugar... How bored were you?

[kickstart_my_heart]

s not boredom. genuine curiosity.

[friendofdorothy]

Idealism

not in the sense of optimism but the philosophy that the world is created by ideas

so they deny the material reality of mutanthood and try to turn it into this abstract thing

[kickstart_my_heart]

probly makesem feel better bout ther own lives. at least a littl
