: Also we have [[changeling]] and [[Furry lifestyler]] in the see also, are these any different? If I was otherkin, I'd be more offended by the connection to furries; but I completely fail to see how clinical lycanthropy is problematic (in fact it makes it more obvious that this type of thing (identifying as an animal) CAN be a psychological disorder but ISN'T NECESSARILY (otherwise these things would be covered in the same article)). I vote for keeping it because it's a very similar concept and including it can be helpful for people who are interested in but not knowledgeable in the general topic. —&nbsp;[[User:Jeraphine Gryphon|<span style="border:dotted #000;border-width:1px 1px 0 0">Jeraphine&nbsp;Gryphon</span>]]&nbsp;^{([[User talk:Jeraphine Gryphon|talk]])} 21:58, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

 

The See also section is for topics related by theme or subject. In this case, people who believe they are animals. Now I can understand why editors whose pro-Otherkin lifestyle interests would not want the article to make statements about mental conditions that may or may not apply, but to object to the mention of the term anywhere on the article at all is pretty extreme. The fact that the article is there at all can be argued to be a promotion of a [[WP:FRINGE]] topic, and it desperately needs some balance, but because mainstream sources have routinely ignored it under its new name we don't have much of a balance there. Removing a related term from See also just because you find it offensive is an extreme amount of pro-Otherkin POV pushing, I'm afraid. If the people who believe in multiple personalities and think they are wonderful things to have create a new name for it, like, say, healthy multiplicity, and then created an article for Healthy Multiplicity and then forbid all mention of [[Dissociative identity disorder]] on the article it'd be the same situation. Or the pro-eating disorder people not wanting links or info about eating disorders on an article they create under some new name.

Are were and changeling being challenged? Or is it only things that might imply its all ‘in the mind’ that are at issue?[[User:Slatersteven|Slatersteven]] ([[User talk:Slatersteven|talk]]) 18:05, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
