Trigger warnings: None.

Eamonn Keaveney, an anthropology MA student, wants to make an ethnography of otherkin and therians, focusing on the parts of that community that are active on Tumblr.com.

Focusing on tumblr? Blargh. We anthropology students have such bad taste.

Why would you ever want to focus on tumblr 'kin. Ugh. Half of them are trolls, and the other half are just completely insane teenie boppers who lock themselves in their room and scream "animal abuse" at their parents.

I cannot facepalm enough.
