Davidsen in Culture & Religion journal mentions otherkin

Content warnings: None.

October: Markus Altena Davidsen published the article "Fiction-based religion: Conceptualising a new category against history-based religion and fandom" in Culture and Religion: An Interdisciplinary Journal. Apparently Davidsen mentions otherkin. Davidsen wrote, "Additional examples include the Otherkin who believe themselves to be 'other-than-humans'; for instance, Elves, Dragons or Angels," and cited Danielle Kirby's articles about otherkin. I don't know if this is the only passing mention of otherkin in the article, or if Davidsen talks about them more, because I don't have access to the full article.
