I explained to someone that "kinning for fun" is harmful and they told me if I don't respect copinglinks/otherlinks then I need to move on. I'm trying my hardest to be reasonable but that conversation made me so frustrated in a way I couldn't put into words. I tried to explain that 'links don't even have kintypes and that they're conflating identities, but I haven't bothered seeing their response yet. Now I'm seeing as anti-link because I'm anti-KFF, when 'links have nothing to do with KFF. I'm so frustrated.
Why is voluntary identity the new thing people are confusing KFF for. Why is it so hard for people to grasp what KFF means. If you identify as it you're not KFF, full stop. Not what it means, not what it has ever meant. KFF specifically means people who don't identify as the thing they "kin" and are thus misusing the word.
