Also this whole "kin" thing is some of the stupidest shit I've ever heard of. It seems like something some kid would dream up but you have people in their 20s claiming they're incarnations of fictional characters and have "memories" of their "past lives".
...The internet is going to give me cancer.
There was a comic about this, but the main gist of it was that it's the internet.
Back in the 90's, if you were like "Hey Parents, Family, Friends, Random Strangers. I think that I'm actually a wolf in a human's body" you'd be shunned, bullied, told not to think that way and eventually grow out of it.
But today, if you're like that you can just jump on the internet, google "Are there idiots like me?" and get hundreds of communities that basically wolves in human skin or whatever telling you that you're right, you should be proud of being stupid and never change. Because the people telling you this have been told this themselves. The internet is a great tool to escape reality and find like minded people, for better or worse.
In the end what you're getting is the generation we have now. People who were confused teenagers brainwashed by the internet because some idiot somewhere thought that the reasoning behind the thoughts they had during puberty were that they were a dragon or actually a boy who is a girl on some days.
Personally it does not harm if they think they're a wolf and act like it while they're say, 15 for two or three years. It only becomes a problem if they're physically trying to change their body with harmful chemicals or things that overall will affect them years down the line. Then it's a problem.
The internet is basically like a big red light district. Avoid all the big flashy signs and people trying to lure you places and just stick to the straight and narrow. You'll end up better for it.
