Day 36

That used to be a community norm at one time.  New community members were questioned, sometimes quite harshly, about how they reached the conclusion that they were otherkin.  The practice came, over time, to be referred to as "grilling".  It has largely fallen out of favor, though there are still some places with an opt-in version where you can ask others to grill you.  In the same line of thought, some of the prompts here effectively encourage you to grill yourself.  I've also been thinking of making an opt-in group for those who wish to be grilled regarding their identities, but haven't come to a firm decision on whether or not to do that yet.

folks should consider new kintypes more carefully. sometimes i see these gigantic lists of kintypes (usually from children, im talking nearly hundreds of types*) and all i can think of is whether or not they really understand the significance of a kintype. they can do what they want as i am not the identity police, but some pups and cubs should take a step back and look at their huge list and think critically about it and question how did they come to this.

*ive seen this on discord especially. im currently on a server and ive seen lists that required me to scroll a surprising amount to get to the end of them .-.
