HEY! Slow down there you Shermer loving misogynist. Calling a victim an accuser is rape apology! :twisted:jugheadnaut wrote:If this is true, I'm interested to know how they define "eliminates capacity to know what's going on". We've had cases when an inebriated woman initiates sex and when she texts invitations for sex and inquires about condoms, and later alleges rape solely on the basis she was drunk at the time. Did Richard Carrier, Rebecca Watson, Amanda Marcotte or Jessica Valenti say since she clearly still had the capacity to know what was going on, then if she's basing her allegation on inebriation it should be dismissed? Of course not. If the accuser says after the fact that she was too drunk to consent, that's all that's required. They want to play a shifting standards game. When discussing the issue in the abstract, they'll try to appear reasonable (well some, anyway). But take any particular case, and it's back to "always believe the accuser".Richard Carrier says

@ John Morales- Because it’s not just you being dismissive. It’s nearly everyone, everywhere. And it’s usually not mere dismissiveness. Saying “I don’t believe you†is different from “that’s stupid/crazy.†It’s something not talked about because we’re either mocked, and/or treated like we’re *actually* insane. And that latter is something many of are probably secretly afraid of. Especially those of us who didn’t “awaken†(I have always hated that word) after discovering the concept, but instead had a chance to go “holy shit, there are more people who feel this way???†That moment there of the whispering hope of “Maybe I’m not crazy if there are other people too…†is a very powerful experience. When I brought what I was feeling up with my mother in highschool, she thought I had MPD and was getting ready to get me evaluated. I convinced her not to, because this isn’t the same thing at all.
@Sambarge- Not quite. Most otherkin believe it’s straight reincarnation, not a totem. They figure that since there’s so many worlds out there and so many possible species, that their ‘soul’ happened to reincarnate here.
@PatrickG- Yes, thank you, I fucking know those are human things because I am human, but it doesn’t change how my brain interprets those human things which results in ‘not human’. I know I’m actually human and yet that doesn’t change how I feel.
But of course, per so many, that’s not how I actually feel. I’m totally making it up/hallucinating/need medical help because other people don’t understand how I can feel this way. Therefore I’m wrong and a liar or insane. Sure, I’ve only consciously been aware of feeling this way since I was a small child. Sure, it only made me near suicidal for several years from conflicting experiences (see, totally insane, right, let the dismissing begin anew). Sure it’s not something I can just stop feeling (see, totally making it up now, moar dismiss!).
What doesn’t help is that there ARE people who are making it up/deluding themselves to feel special. The community had a high turn over rate. For every 100 new members in a forum, perhaps 10 would be there in a year because the playing pretend became less fun over time. Of those ten, perhaps one would still be there in 3 years. I knew people who had felt this way for 40 years. So I’d say the number with ‘brain quirk’ are in the vast minority. But we *are* there.

How would she even know what wings feel like since she's never had them? Couldn't possibly be her imagination. No, it's "phantom limb sensations".Rowan vet-tech says
July 16, 2015 at 7:25 pm
Soooo… I identify as otherkin. I used to think it was via reincarnation (most commonly seen) but as I moved towards atheism I figure it’s just a psychological quirk.
When I think of ‘me’, I don’t see my human face. I see something like a naked dromeosaur, with wings. A ‘dragon’ for lack of a better term. I do get phantom limb sensations, primarily the face, the feet, and wings in that order of how constant I feel them.
And you’re right, there is an issue with glam animals/mythos just as people tend to think they’re reincarnations of people who were famous from history. You never see peasants. There are even people who claim to be reincarnated gods, though I’ll admit I had a lot of fun debunking their claims of omgamazingpowers. I’ve had an army of astral dragons sicced on me, and a couple death curses. I’m still here.
And while I recognise the absurdity of it, I figure it might just be a case of a deeply internalised archetype. Some people feel drawn to the idea of the Mother, Teacher, Warrior, Healer, etc… and some of us add in other archetypal creatures as well.
Knowing it’s absurd doesn’t change the fact that if you asked me to draw a self portrait, an honest one would be a dragon.
