"kinnie" the term itself was originally a term created by people who hated otherkin/therians/fictionkins.
The original word is derived from a offensive slur "tr-nnie/tr-nny" which was a word made by people who hated trans people.
Some might agree or disagree on the origin of the word but it's been used not only offensively, but as a way for non'kin to make fun of people who are 'kin and sets up a bad example of how otherkinity works to younger folk that don't necessarily have the resources or to find them.
Not everyone is ok with "kinnie" because it sounds as if you're making fun of the culture it originally represented.
It's also been noticably online that it's been replacing "copinglinker" which is a term used for someone who " 'kins to cope".
"Kinnie" is not cute. It's not aesthetic.
Yeah, some might try to "reclaim" it but not everyone is ok with the word and you shouldn't be labeling other people "kinnies." Because it sounds like a wholesome word. Because it's not.
You have a right to feel uncomfortable with the word, and nobody should try and force it on you or try to get you to "leave" the community because you don't like the "term."
That feeling when you think you have everything figured out about yourself until something new pops up and now you haven't figured yourself out at all apparently.
Remembering that our hell didn't normally have cheese but much rather a fake sort of cheese that was much rather a preference thus many demons missing out on the delicious taste of cottage cheese.
Wait? Y'all out here picking your 'kin types and stuff?
Cool, that's neat...
Not really.
I sometimes wish I wasn't me.
You gonna be out here taking that from me saying I should just stop "kinning" myself and push me out of the community?
Forget that! Hello world!
You're gonna hear me once again b-tch about it! Yes, I will b-tch about my existence! I will b-tch about my day and rant at my nights!
Yes I'll stress out, but never ever take that from me because you know what? I'm me. And telling me I should go pick a new "kinnie"?! How about you not tell me what to do, alright, some people have real trauma. Telling me to go pick out a character so I won't have trauma, well fuck I wish I could! But I'd rather not because that isn't me.
Me and the host had a wonderful new term to present to the otherkin lads out there!
So you know kinassign? Well I'm proposing a new term that's very similar to that so that kff might not use "kinassign" as it better has the base of "kin" which suggests that it's a kintype with the assign part meaning that they're basically that kintype.
This mostly has been used for the fictionkin folk and I wanted the term to be a slightly "revamped" version of the term.
Oh so the term, if I've not mentioned is "Perassign" which "personality" is the base, meaning that they vibe with/have the personality of whoever they might be assigned. (I don't know if there's a actual word for the word perassign out there that has a meaning already but I was wanting to propose it.)

Perassign can be used for people to help others to recommend and "assign" someone a character or other kintype from their personality/general vibe/whatever other lil quirks they might have.
It's basically the replacement for kinassign but kinassign can also be used in a sense of finding! Such as first person, a example "I was at first perassigned with this character from a friend of mine, after some discovery, I've found out I was them! It was kinassigned!"
Also kinfirm can also be another swap with kinassign I feel too, if used in the sense of recommendation and acknowledgement. Kinfirm is basically confirm but kintype aligned.
Idk, tell me what y'all think about the term recommendation? How would you use it? Would it be a better term to use?
I don't fully understand kinassign myself since I've not really seen it being used and the people around me that used it was probably a bad example as they've shown it more on the kff side...
