hi , heres a small thread on information about kinning as a spiritual kinnie since ive seen some people misuse the term “ kin “ on bandtwt .
in a nutshell , fictionkinning is defined as heavily relating or identifying as a fictional character . spiritual kinning is slightly the same , but you believe you were that character in a past life . it is mainly used for projecting and as a coping mechanism .
factkinning , or just defined as kinning real people , is a thing , but its generally looked down upon in the kin community , which is why im worried about these people saying they “ kin “ band members as they might get attacked .
as a spiritual kinnie with experience from friends who factkin and have seen people say they kin band members , i would try to avoid saying you factkin a band member without education , especially if you are on kinstagram .
feel free to add more information below , and im free to explain any terms that go with this coping mechanism
