hi, i’ve been reading some of the recent posts answering asks about fictionkin, and i wanted to ask something as well.before i found out what fictionkin and otherkin is, i was familiar with a community on the internet that used “kin” as a verb and just said they kinned certain characters because they highly relate to them. i want to know if that is an acceptable thing to do, because i got used to using terms like “kinnie” and i’ve seen a lot of fictionkin say they dislike that term and the use of “kin” as a verb.so my question is, is it okay to say you kin a character because you deeply relate to their actions/personality/trauma, not necessarily because you think you are the character? and use the term “kin” to refer to those characters? and if so, how high should your level of connection to the character be to use the term, because there are some characters where i only feel that we have the same trauma, while the rest of our character is mostly different.
