    Just be a human w/ a body in a moment of time. If thats cringe the cringe needs confronting!

        Don’t know how to tell you this, but the first part of your sentence answers the second

          No it’s doesn’t. They didn’t say “why do I wanna be a robot”, they said “why do you think I wanna be a robot”. The focus is on your beliefs. You said being human shouldn’t be cringe, and they’re challenging you to explain the facts given your beliefs.

            … and the whole point is it shouldn’t need explaining. The emphatic “omg being human is so cringe” doesn’t come with explanations, it’s a mere reflection of the social athmosphere of never beeing enough. It emphatically bends to a zeitgeist that contradicts being human itself (making someone say “having a body is cringe”).

            That might seem subversive or creative, but it isn’t, wich is very out in the open once you shift focus on what such emphasis is emphasizing

              I think otherkin are a phenomenon that would continue to exist even absent our current repressive social conditions and the negative implications humanity has gained in the wake of its own atrocities. Although in a more liberated society, otherkin would be much more common as more people come to find themselves on a deeper level.
