>Try reading up on plural systems before you make such judgements

Unfortunately we have.

>And don't hang around /r/SystemsCringe; it's a hate sub.

Stop. Stop right there. Laughing at the deranged lunacy of this stupid subculture is NOT HATE. Stop diluting the word "hate" to mean "any slight that goes against my narrative or the narratives of those I ally with." There are real hate groups out there spreading their filth and getting people killed. By diluting the seriousness of hatred, you're inadvertently giving them power. STOP. IT.

>Otherkin is not a fad

Yes it is. It's a fad like emo and goth, with tons of overlap.

>and it's not confined to Tumblr

Unfortunately.

So has emo and goth at this rate. You're proving my point.

>There's considerable overlap between otherkin and furry; otherkin is basically furry for fictional species.

Chronically online people are online. Shocked I tell you!

And often experts in our field are like me: tired of the attention seeking shenanigans like the "system" losers that we have to deal with and manage day to day. Every day chronically online socially awkward people will find some community of invented nonsense to differentiate themselves and play the victim. Nothing like a persecution fetish mixed with fantasy.

If you think that fora dedicated to laughing at what you call deranged subcultures are not spreading hate and getting people killed, you haven't been paying attention. One of the greatest contributors to the emulation community is dead because of Kiwi Farms, and they're not the only one.

It's hate. Get it out of your system. Or you may well find yourself quite unwelcome. Remember, furries run the internet.
