As a person who studies chaos theory, chaos magick theory, and other such topics, yes, of course I understand what a paradigm is; I understand that belief creates reality, that "reality" is a false world, there is no Truth, such and so on.

That doesn't mean that otherkin, otakukin, and their ilk aren't fucking funny.

I have no problem with that.

Ya know, I've been seeing those terms, "otherkin" and all, and I have nooooo idear what or
who they are. I suppose I should find out, but up till now I just couldn't have cared less.
Seemed like some sort of gaming lingo bleeding over into the "pagan". Ah well, I guess I'm
finally curious enough to check it out, he says with a heavy sigh. My eyes, all three
of them, are already rolling.

otherkin beleive they are kin to beings "other" than human, but for whatever reason (transposition, reincarnation, etc) are here in human form.

"other" can be dragons, faeries, elves, aliens, animals (some furries consider themselves otherkin), and so on.

otakukin are otherkin who beleive they are connected to anime or manga characters; for instance, I ran upon a livejournal of someone who professed to be reincarnated from Goku of Dragonball Z. his only reason for sustaining this beleif was that he dreamed (and daydreamed) without that universe.
