Orion Sandstorrm: Ask me anything about otherkin... →
frameacloud:
During the past few years, I’ve written a few e-books about otherkin and therianthropes: the history of the communities back to the 1970s, a bibliography of books published about them, and a bibliography of articles about them. Whatever question you have about them, on any event, sub-topic, or…

Emergency Fundraising Again
First off, I would very much like to thank everyone who helped me out last month by donating or by buying one of my necklaces. You guys are awesome. :) This month I’m somewhat better off, as I’ve started getting paid by my part-time evening job doing elder-care and I’ve picked up a gig helping a friend remove vines from their back yard. But my evening job is, on average, one to...

Well, okay. Yes, you have a point, in that, if someone sends you a death threat, you probably shouldn’t say, “Bring it”, so like if someone threatened you with a weapon, you’d be foolish to say, “Go ahead and kill me, I dare you”.
Which, yes, is literally asking for it.
Thank you for acknowledging this point.
But then, just having his blog up is troll bait in the first...

Raise your hand if you think Jarandhel is an asshole
Ummmm okay. Look. I’ve known Jarin for more than ten years, and yeah, I have my differences with him. I do think he’s said some antagonistic and counterproductive things here on tumblr, taken stances I think are unhelpful in bridging the awkward gaps between older and younger ‘kin, between tumblr and communities...
anarchyopteryx:
So, inviting “hate” or “feeding the trolls” is in no way at all asking for death threats.
It is when they have ALREADY started receiving death threats from the trolls, and are STILL saying they are going to go on feeding the trolls by responding to them, blogging about the death threats, etc. They know that the trolls are doing this. Feeding the trolls, at this point, IS...

Turn your anon off for a while so we can see who is sending them, hm? Then perhaps those folks can get some messages of their own.

Wait, so… saying that trolls are funny until they start sending death threats (which suggests they’re NOT funny if they send death threats, anyway), means you only have your self to blame if someone actually attempts to run you over with a car?

“Feeding the trolls” is how I cope with the continuous stream of hate I get for just fucking EXISTING. It is my way—our way—of FIGHTING BACK. I’m not just gonna sit back and let fuckers tell me I deserve to die, that I’m crazy, that I’m a danger to my son.

I believe anyone saying “just don’t feed the trolls” should be directed to Jay Smooth’s video here: Ill Doctrine: Why I Will Feed The Trolls If I Damn Well Want To

okay, but at this point, i think it’s gone beyond simple “”“”trolling”“”“

stoicmeditations asked: Seriously, stop victim blaming Karkat. I know you have good intentions but the car thing that happened to him was deliberate, not just some silly twerps, some narrow minded people took the time to find and try to to run him over.

That works if it’s one person.
If you’ve been linked on a popular blog or forum you could be facing dozens upon dozens of messages, whether you respond to them or not.

I read it many years ago. It was written by a (hypno! !)therapist, or at least with a ton of input from him since it features A LOT not from The Troops POV (in the 80s!) who made money from it based on therapy with a woman who showed no symptoms until after receiving therapy. The book also is peppered with ESP.
From what I can find about it, the book was written by the Troops...

Verde's Thoughts On: "Sane Otherkin"
vertepetite:
So, I recently stumbled upon Swanblood’s post about a social justice f.a.q. In my probably unpopular opinion, Otherkin hating on *kin with common sense… is just about as headache-inducing as trolls and mean ignoramuses bullying us. While I may not particularly care for the phrase “sane otherkin”, I consider myself as such and most of the kin I associate with do as well.

Woah woah woah. I do not know about the one, but definitely “When Rabbit Howls ” is not a book you want to stand up as a credible resource.

why it’s not okay to use phrases like “sane otherkin” or “I’m not one of the crazy ones”
If people don’t want those phrases used, then they should try not acting insane/crazy. There’s a reason that people use them, and it is to distinguish themselves from the people who act a certain way. It’s also used by those outside our communities to...

Can we not spam our own tag again?
Block troll and carry on with regular posts. Cute animals, while better then the gore, only serves to keep derailing the tag even more.
At this point I’m blocking everyone who spams the tag. Trolls who spam with gore, otherkin who spam with cute baby animals, I don’t care. If they spam, they’re blocked. Period.

liminalbeast:
So I understand that some people feel a bit intimidated about sharing their personal experiences, or they don’t know how to word them very well, and Tumblr isn’t exactly like forums, and the population is slighty different (among other things, younger) and there are a lot of trolls in the tags.
