Every so often a kid spreading misinformation on TikTok pops up on my page. Like why are kids online trying to redefine terms from the 90s to be less ‘weird’. Back in my day people thought they were elves and were proud of it.

this shit is so frustrating. this is genuinely like saying "mspecs don't believe they're attracted to more than one gender"
This is the same arguments we been havin for like 10 years at this point, probably even longer. (Would've been before we were aware of/IDing as otherkin ourselves, so personally not aware or knowledgable about this but definitely a possibility, almost certainly the case).
People always wanna try to meet whatever counts as the "most" neurotypical the weirdo identity groups can be, to meet this arbitrary, moving standard that neurotypical society puts on us that some then put on ourselves. So that we can not be judged by neurotypicals??? Bestie you already a dog, or a cat, or a snake, or a dragon, or whatever, get over it. You're a weirdo and you better accept that and get with it.
I remember causing a ruckus in like ~2012 because we would proudly say we were PHYSICALLY xyz and people would be like "nuh uh you're just crazy" and we'd say "YEAH. THAT'S THE POINT."
