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.

[frigokinetic]

I have been wondering that myself...

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

[kickstart_my_heart]

um thats not actually very helpful, mister

[kickstart_my_heart]

its the weidest thing i literally do not understand

[frigokinetic]

How does one "feel" mutant? Is it different from just ordinary feeling...?

If you find the answer, please share. I am confused.

[kickstart_my_heart]

i guess we lack perspective, being actual mutants and whatnot

[diabhal_beag]

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

[kickstart_my_heart]

and what the devil is 'otherkin'?

[diabhal_beag]

It's a point of view some people take where they believe - spiritually, metaphorically, or literally - that they're really something other than human. Fey, dragon, specific anime character...

It's often a form of expression of ennui towards one's own life - thus why it's more common among teenagers and twenty-somethings than older folk.

Though what you've mentioned here sounds like it's a bit different, really, now I think it.

[frigokinetic]

At the same time, how would they feel mutant if they do not know how a mutant feels? How would we feel non-mutated if we do not know how a non-mutant feels?

[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

Idiocy. [Because this explains everything, clearly.]

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.

[kamiizumi]

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

[the_prodigal_son]

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?

[scorchedchivalry]

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

[kickstart_my_heart]

well

if you think about it

most mutants dont manifest mutations until puberty, right? i guess that kind of perspective helps differentiate. me, i used my powers at birth. never really got a chance to feel 'normal'.

[kickstart_my_heart]

this is all a lot to take in.

[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.

[kickstart_my_heart]

s not very helpful m8

[kickstart_my_heart]

...

why a horse?

[kickstart_my_heart]

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

[kickstart_my_heart]

that

sounds legitimately terrifying.

[kickstart_my_heart]

not sure i get wher youre comin from

[knowitallgoddess]

If you find that one confusing, try transtemporal.
