I gotta say, so much queer intra-community horseshit dropped off my shoulders when I decided to adopt a firm policy that everyone is the expert in their own identity, the single most knowledgeable person about what it’s like to live life in their own skin, and that if someone describes their experience in ways I find contradictory or paradoxical I should do them the courtesy of presuming that they are striving to express something very specific and nuanced, rather than leaping to the conclusion that they’re just dumb and using words wrong.
Sure, there are some combinations of identity terms that I look at and go “hmm, I don’t get how that works.” I’m still a human being. But there’s a big difference between not getting how something works versus insisting that it doesn’t.
So, anon asked for a picture where Deuce would do something cool. What would be better than kicking your rival gang member’s ass. With a bull penis cane, of course. And I think that makes this a major cockslap.
The term ‘fictionkin’ was created on livejournal around the year 2007. It was created to replace the former term ‘otakukin’ which was agreed to be in poor taste, and not encompassing all of the community. The term otakukin had previously been coined in the otherkin community in the early 2000s.
The term fictionkin was specifically created in and gained traction in the livejournal community formerly known as “otakukin.livejournal.com” and then changed to “from_fiction.livejournal.com”. This community was the only otakukin/fictionkin community hub active at the time, and was wholly metaphysically based, with the majority of members believing specifically in fictionkin reincarnation.
