- Description
-
"Kinned" is a verb derived from the concept of "otherkin" or "fictionkin," used to describe a deep, personal identification with a fictional character. When someone says they "kinned" a character, they mean they feel a profound resonance with that character's personality, experiences, or trauma, often to the point of seeing the character as an extension of themselves. This term is central to fandom culture, particularly on Tumblr, where users categorize their identities based on these connections. It can range from a casual way of saying "I relate to this" to a core part of a person's online persona.

> You know you've hit rock bottom when you start saying you kinned the villain of the show.
