honestly, it seems like a joke, because it is a joke. tumblr kinnies have turned the community from something which was a way in which people explained the understanding of ones personal self, identity, or religion into some sort of fashion statement. the hate the kin community gets is well deserved because the community is toxic - you dont deserve the hate, of course, but its important to know why there is hate at all
a piece of media cannot be released without every kinnie crawling out of the woodwork to say “Oh im kin with XYZ!! I Suddenly have memories from this piece of media which i had no idea existed prior to 30 seconds ago!!!”
this extends to even communities like angelkin. its become some sort of fashion statement, something cool to identify as rather then an understood identity or religion which a person has critically thought about, akin to any mainstream religion. one should not say “im Muslim/Christian/Jewish/Buddhist/etc.” without understanding that that means. (while this does happen, its probably a reasonable belief that one should not call themselves a certain religion if they have little to no understanding of it)
even if somebody is an angel, sorry to break it to you, but you (universal you, not op specifically) probably arent Lucifer#653290, Michael, Gabriel, or whatever other cool angel you think you are. it makes zero sense that any of the most powerful angels on high would find themselves anywhere near earth other then to deliver messages - and even then, they arent human in this life or any others. in the same vein, just so people don’t shoot me - i also understand that my angel identity has the same possibility of being fake as any other person and i readily accept that.
additionally, the whole thirst for demons thing is just cringey as fuck and i bet dime a dollar that people are just doing it because its the cool thing to do right now. (in the same note, its also annoying as hell seeing all of the cross posting between demonkin, dollkin, etckin on the angelkin and related tags when the post has nothing to do with angels.)
