(System that has kin as a special interest here. A lot of stuff was slightly wrong or worded poorly, kin as a verb/kinning actually came from anti-kin and shouldn't be used in educational contexts. "Kintype" and also should have been used in some cases. The article was also fictionkin-centric. I also added several sources and removed the otherkin wiki as a source since it's not the best one out there.) |
