From the Otherkin ask game:
4 - What has been your experience with the wider community?
Generally quite positive! I seem to have a lot of friends who are either aware of otherkin folks, are otherkin themselves, or are at least open-minded about alterhuman identities. I've yet to really encounter any sour points of note, which is a good thing. It also helps that the otherkin community is closely related to, but separate from, the furry community, which is where I initially encountered the otherkin community.
Thanks again Tux!
