    Being a human with a body is fucking cringe, why do you think I wanna be a robot so badly?

        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.
