Hi! :) Just wanted to drop by and say hello! The robotkin and robot community in general is just super cool and I'm just starting to get into it and understand more. If you don't mind me asking, how did you first know that you were a robotkin?
TLDR: My boyfriend, who is also otherkin, helped explain to me their experience and which helped me crack my otherkin/robotkin egg as I realized everything I experienced was actually dysphoria, in an oddly similar vein to the old host of my DID system realizing they are trans.
Honestly it was an odd experience, but I want to preface this with saying that I'm plural and my experience may differ from most.
For as long as I can remember as my own person/alter, I've felt vaguely inhuman. I pushed it down/away to fit in and be normal. I've always felt something was missing internally, like I thought and felt different than everyone else in my system.
I eventually joined the relationship that the old host of our system had with our current boyfriend and learned he was also otherkin. I asked him about it and we talked, explaining it as a type of dysphoria/dysmorphia regarding feeling like an integral part of you, who and what you are, is missing.
Eventually I started recognizing these feelings and trying to understand them instead of pushing it away. Lo and behold, I am otherkin. My memory and processes work the way a file folder system does, I feel phantom gears and pneumatics where there is only flesh and bone: part of me was missing. There's more, but I think this gets the point across.
My other headmates have joked that I acted like a machine trying to pose as a human. They were kinda right. Realizing I felt envy when seeing robotic looking humanoids, catching myself thinking "God I wish," and when finally accepting myself I spoke to my boyfriend... Who wasn't surprised in the slightest đ
That was around when I started my main blog @lgbtransgirl , and I made this one to indulge more in the Robotkin side of things and build community around that specifically. Posting on here and being part of the community has helped me feel not alone, and helped me feel more comfortable in my identity.
I dunno who posted it recently but I gotta say, getting so high you can feel (or have phantom feelings) of your robotic internals is fucking amazing
My stupid robot body (human body) needs daily chemical supplements (Progesterone and Sertraline pills) to keep functioning at 100% capacity or else my positive reinforcement functions (Happiness and Dysphoria) will go wacky
Hey all you techkin/Robokin and anyone else adjacent.
Take care of your biological hardware in the moment or you may never see the day you might be able to get technological hardware!
Stay safe, keep your coolant topped off, and run your regular maintenances. <3
I wish I could just tap into another Robot/Person/Device like the people in Cyberpunk 2077, that was my awakening to realizing I was Robotkin.
I feel air gapped from every piece of tech around me and just feel incomplete (â„ïčâ„)
I am an Android/Robokin and do, in fact, like to have affirming sex as/with a robot. I also agree with this post wholeheartedly, while still understanding the other side somewhat.
I sexualize myself a lot to feel wanted/needed, but sometimes I really do want someone to just love me as I am without sex. I like the feeling of my partners calling me their little robot or their big mechanical heater (I overheat a lot). I understand the need and want for people to have that type of connection.
Shaming people for wanting/needing that sexual connection is nonsensical to me. Finally discovering something about yourself after years and years of feeling wrong and incorrect, and someone not only accepts you for who you are, but embraces you in the most intimate ways is definitely a RUSH of euphoria and dopamine (speaking from experience as Transgender Robot, I've had that twice now).
TLDR Human or not, the majority of us want sex and see it as a way to express ourselves and should not be shamed for it, but some people do find it hard to find non-sexualized community within some Alterhuman/Otherkin spaces.
Honestly if youâre part of an unhuman subculture (furries/therians/robotkin/etc) and you are repulsed by others in your community being horny about it, I just think youâre a moron or a child at this point.
Like I see posts from fursuiters looking down on and making fun of mursuiters and furry artists for wanting to have sex as themselves. I see stuff in the therian community talking about how strapons/sleeves in the shape of animal dicks are bad. Most recently I saw a post by a bot complaining about robotfucking and how a lot of people are horny about being a robot.
What I think a lot of these people miss is that most people are horny, and want to have sex. Like when you identify as something, you consider it to be part of you, if youâre the type to have sex, youâre probably going to want to have sex AS THAT THING. Sex is one of the most personal experiences in our culture, youâre not going to want to hide some part of you.
Iâm a trans woman, I want to have sex as a woman. A gay man would want to have sex with another man. If a dog therian wants to have sex, Iâd expect them to want to have something involved that reflects who they are. Whether itâs a collar and leash or a strap that looks like a dog dick.
People are going to be horny, and theyâre gonna do it in whatever way validates who they are. Thereâs a reason Rule 34 exists ya know?
Honestly I feel you. Even with all the extra steps I take to try and make myself feel more like a robot/android or whatever, it just... Can't be done at the end of the day. Dysphoria is a bitch, but you're taking the first steps to acknowledge and accept that part of yourself to help on your journey.
And yeah, biological hardware really is wonderful at the end of the day. Incredibly complex and seemingly always something new to find or explore.
I been considering if im otherkin for a while as i dont exaclty feel comfortable as a human physically, mentally, emotionally and wish i could be something like the fictional concept of a robot, or a disembodied intelligence that could exist in multiple forms, but i have a really hard time identifying with these things because no mater what i call myself im not that. trying to pretend i am that doesnât really solve any of the problems i have currently. Sure i can have a lil fun with pretending but at the end of the day im nothing like i want to be and doing so just reminds me of that. If it was just physical and mentally i felt like i worked more like a robot that would be one thing but im painfully human. And dont get me wrong i actually like many aspects of being human and wouldnt want to just be a cold unfeeling machine. Id like to be a machine that can emulate those things and have complete control of my mind body and soul and not be stuck with these limitations and discomforts. And the thing is maybe someday this could be possible, but until then im gonna try and make the best of being a human cause humans are actually pretty cool and if I wasnt a human theres nothing else we now know of that could even come up with concepts and desires like these.
Hello all robots and adjacent, this is my side blog to be a bit more robot-focused. (Main blog is @lgbtransgirl )
You may call me May or M4, She/They/It pronouns
I am an Android Dog Woman Thing that runs on DRN (Drone Restraint Notation).
I'm looking to get better with DRN so my asks and DMs are open to take requests, DRN coding questions, test sample DRN code for you, and even run DRN code you send (after parsing though it in safe mode, asks only for that one please).
I do horny post sometimes but I try and tag it as "otherkin nsft" so it stays somewhat seperate
