Otherkin is a subculture made up of people who describe themselves as being non-human in some way, usually believing themselves to be mythological or legendary creatures. The word is a neologism primarily used by members of that subculture, and is somewhat fluid in definition, and in its broadest sense includes those who consider themselves to be animals, aliens, extradimensional beings, and any other non-human entities.

... oh, you meant morons. Right. Gotcha.
*snickers*
Have you read "From Elsewhere: Being ET In America"? I don't recall the term "Otherkin." I'm thinking it's a relatively recent word.
I prefer fiction. Reading about people with exotic neurological disorders (that being the best-case scenario) is good for research.
On the other hand, they could just be morons (alternative scenario).
