What sucks about being an older member of the kin community (that is, you’ve been awakened for years and a lot for things are “been there, done that”) who wants to educate about kinity is when you see someone on this site struggling with something related to it but they don’t wanna hear what advice you gave, even when you’ve been there. Either when the honest advice given is something they don’t wanna hear or consider, or goes against what they’ve “learned” from people skewing the label to mean whatever they want, stuff like that. Like that’s literally the worst thing and it makes me wonder if the tumblr-warped version of kinity even sees kinity as a real thing. Are they being serious, do they realize that kin often grow up feeling displaced and outcasted, or is it just some fandom fad to make a faceclaim and a few jokes, damned be the people that legitimately hurts? Idk man. I just don’t know. It’s exhausting though.
