#starseed is white supremacist nonsense

Small Rant on Starseeds:
First things first, starseed and alienkin are two completely different things.
Secondly, since I need to clarify my alienkin identity, because apparently many people aren’t aware of this dangerous ideology, no, I do not believe in that starseed nonsense. I do not believe that there are special blonde-haired and blue-eyed aliens “on a mission”, or whatever. Absolutely not. And as a black being, I’d be a complete fool to do that.
Starseed is just another way of saying white people, once again, believe that they’re special, and need to “civilize” the brown-skinned “savages”. Y’all ain’t foolin nobody. My alienkin identity has nothing to do with that disgusting colonial garbage. It is rotten. It is insulting to have that white supremacist word beside such beautiful, and unique identities.
Starseed is a form of white supremacy. It is white savior nonsense.
Even though I am not white, I just clarify that I am thoroughly against such an idea, since I am an alienkin and fairykin.
Let us get one thing straight. I do not call myself an alien or a fairy because I believe I’m better than the beautiful earthly beings, I call myself alien and fairy because that is how I personally feel, and that is how I describe my life, and the way I experience it. Earthly beings are also different types of aliens. They are not here for nothing. They are just as involved in everything as otherkin. They have their own kin too.
And I promise you, there are many more diverse aliens out there. Humans, who are part of those earthly beings, have a purpose, and are just as important as any other life form. And to believe that humans are inherently inferior is to be foolish.
Humans have so many rich cultures, they bring life and love to everything around them, they have histories and traditions, and beautiful ways of dressing and wearing their hair. They connect with nature, and the non-human animals around them.
Every life has a purpose. Every life has worth simply for existing. You are not superior because you are non-human. Just as you are not superior because you are human. Nobody is superior than anyone. We all have a purpose. We all have worth.
Period.

What does Starseed mean? Thank you for debunking ableist/white supremacist nonsense!
Here's the short version: Starseed (and you'll also hear Indigo Children used interchangeably in New Age communities) is a belief that tries to explain neurodivergent symptoms as signs of psychic powers (and sometimes being an alien). It's a bunch of bullshit, and prevents folks from getting a proper diagnosis, and others them to a really gross degree.
That's the cliff's notes.
