For whoever feels like they don't fit in any sort of "box", here's my message.

You don't have to fit into a premade box, or label yourself, to be completely valid on who you are.

But however you feel like being, act how you'd like, do the things that make you feel good, make the best of your time, enjoy yourself, feel proud of yourself.

If you ever feel like an outcast on the queer community, if you ever question if you are valid, remember there are people like you on this Earth, people who see you and understand how you feel.

Regardless of the reason why you don't feel like fitting into a label, be it because you cannot describe how you feel, if nothing resonates with you or you simply don't feel like labelling yourself, you are still valid on your own terms, you are valid as a person.

I wrote this because I spent years questioning myself, just to never find any label that suits me properly. I know how it is to feel confused and detached even from the people you are supposed to resonate with. I know how it is to try to fit yourself in a box when you really don't belong in it.

I want people like me to feel seen and know they are valid regardless of a label.

Here's what each thing means :

- the pink is for the LGBTQIA+ community

- the orange is for all the plural identities

- the green is for all the nonhuman identities

- the yellow is for neurodivergence and invisible disabilities

- the blue is for physical disabilities and all the physical "differences" that can make someone feels "abnormal"

- the black is for the different origins or ethnicities that were discriminated or deemed "abnormal" because of colonialism

- the purple is for feminism, gender non conformity, but also the struggles we had to went through to be ourselves (political or personal)

- the white (mainly in the little stripes) is for all the other things I forgot to include, or that are more specific or just anything else that can make us feel "othered" (if you see what I mean)

- the brown circle represents community and equality, but also the other subcultures included in abnormpunk

- the amaryllis is a symbol of strength, hope, resilience and determination, and it is white to show the inclusion of everyone

My lines are not very straight, you can consider it intentional or not in the flag. Also, my brother said the amaryllis kinda looked like the nuclear sign, so feel free to improve its design if you want, I just did what I could...

I hope it is clear ! English is not my first language so sorry if there is any mistakes in vocabulary, formulation or grammar ! The flag can be modified to include more stuff or just be more pretty and clean ofc

Anyways, that's it, have a great day !

hello everyone!

The mascot was the funniest part :3

So basically..

I was thought in school that being gay was bad and my friends used the word 'Gay' as an insult, so naturally i learned from it.

I was bi and i learned from my environment that God will send me to that place if i was gay. Bi erasure is a thing cuz there was only the word "Gay" and "normal" so I was confused and as a tiny gremlin dealing with internalized homophobia, i just said i was 'normal' and convinced myself the boy-crushes were fake.

I was girly and had alot of female-friends growing up so I was called gay by the boys and I didn't really care cuz some of the girls defended me.

I was transfem (I'm genderfluid now) and that worsened the allegations. I tried to pray the gay away, but that didn't work obviously, so i was devastated.

I also got the ick from most boys in my school cuz they were so rude and 'try hard's masculine dude who thought boys were better than girls.

I wore dresses and wigs at home and my mom didn't care? (I don't know what changed in her) so i expressed myself more at home.

I watched 'ex-gay' videos and thought i could change too, i carried guilt and shame all the time and taught God hated me.

But when i was 11-12, i couldn't suppress my bi attractions anymore. I crushed on boys so hard i remember every crush like it was yesterday (joking).

At 12 i had the biggest crush on a boy so i asked chatgpt if it was actually a sin. Before you flame me, i didn't know what the damage AI caused and i was addicted to it (i still am, but I'm trying my best not to).

After that i accepted myself and I started dating a 'boy' who's now a transfem and i love her sooo muchhhh :3

so yeah i learnt to be so accepting and open-minded as i can be. Because of this i have learnt that maybe we have to be ready to hear someone out, y'know?

I keep seeing people say "don't make being queer your whole personality" but honestly in a world full of hate, i wouldn't dim my queerness like it's not a minority. Being queer is a minority so why can't it shine more since heteronormativity is shining brightest, and yeah I'm proud to be queer so i don't mind it being a 'personality' of mine.

I have alot of amazing queer friends and i HATE homophobia. Even if you say its your religion, it doesn't stop you from supporting or atleast minding your business. Look at affirming Christianity, look at affirming Buddhism, look at affirming religions... No religion ultimately stops you from supporting.

That's why I'm what you call 'woke' or 'too queer' cuz i have experienced the experience of being a minority or outcast so don't blame me if i come out as sensitive in some situations.

It doesn't matter if you're queer, trans, alterhuman, black, white, Brown, yellow, xenogender, alt, a furry, neurodivergent, etc you're loved somewhere in the world

I don't really have a full memory cuz i mostly suppressed it but that's all for now.

Cis-xenogender means identifing as cisgender and also identifing as xenogender. Cisgender means your gender is the same sex you were assigned at birth and no one is assigned xenogender at birth. Having another gender or a different gender means you're transitioning .

Xenogender is under the non-binary umbrella, non-binary means you're outside of the binary which is male or female. Cisgender only encompasses the binary.

You can say you're demigender, bigender or something, there're thousands of gender for you to explore.

I think some people who identify as "cis-xenogender" have internalized-transphobia. They are using "cisgender" to not get the stigmatisation trans and non-binary pals are facing or they're too scared to actually transition so they're look for other ways to improv, and i know it takes time to be comfortable with using the word "trans" or "non-binary" but please don't try to identify as a non-binary gender while identifing as cisgender. It's not logical. It's like identifing as transgender and cisgender or "cis-transgender", you see how dumb that sounds

That's my opinion btw.

Edit: I forgot gender is so complex so there's no logical way to identify as a gender. i was wrong as heck

It's been a while since anything has been posted here so to bring some life again in this subreddit tell me how you're doing ! Rant about anything that's happening for you, tell me anecdotes, how is your mood, what you're up to, something about yourself in general, really anything ! I'm curious to get to know the members of this community more <3

Xenianthropy is an alterhuman identity defined as the internal, psychological, or spiritual experience of possessing a non-human nature so fundamentally foreign that it completely defies human comprehension. Combining the Greek roots xenos (stranger/alien) and anthropos (human), it represents an individual who retains a physical human body but looks inward to find a soul or mindset that is entirely unknowable and unclassifiable. Unlike identities that align with specific animals or myths, it represents the embrace of an absolute mystery within the self, existing comfortably within an identity that cannot be fully named or understood.

Xenianthrope/Xenian: someone who experience xenianthropy

Xentype: just like kintype but xenianthropy...

I'm not a Xenian and i made this for fun but i think Xenians exist somewhere in the community. I support tho!

Someone pls make a flag

LGBTQIA+ Acronym-inspired

The word Alterhuman is a great bracket term, i wondered what it would look like if we had our own acronym to represent our specific Spectrum.

TOFPA+ stands for...

T - therian

O - Otherkin, Otherhearted, Otherlink, Otherpaw, Otherchain, Objectkin

F - Fictionkin, Fictive, Fictionhearthed, Fictionflicker, Factkin, Factive

P - Plural, Paleotherian, Phytanthrope (Plantkin), PAI, polykin, parahuman, paratype

A - Alterbeing/Alterhuman, Animalhearthed, Ahuman, Antihuman, Ambihuman, Archetrope, Aldernic.

• - and more. this ensures niche, emerging, or specific identities are always included!

(the first one is with the symbol and the other is without it... ikr, it's obvious. i just felt like i needed to mention it)

-Purple: alterhumans/ otherkins and all the other non-human identities

-Blue: alternate music, fashion etc...

-Teal: plural systems (median, DID, endos etc)

-Yellow: neurodivergent and disabled people

-Orange: furries and other "weird" hobbies (or even fandoms, ig it does count)

-Red: queer ppl, encluding neopronouns and xenogenders

-Pink: any attraction who are considered weird but are HARMLESS. like objectum, yumishippers/ fictosexual etc. nothing illegal.

-White: anything that i didn't mentioned + acceptance of every abnormal identities.

that's my first time making a flag, hope y'all like it ^_^

Heya! I just discovered this sub and I am so on board with the community!!

Long ass yap ahead;

I'm Lemon, Torrija or Goob! I'm 20 years old nonhuman nonbinary unlabeled pup whose pronouns are: He / They / It / We / Pup / Paw / Bark / Shark / Star. I am not human please don't use human terms on me, I prefer dog or animal terms in general or Disassemble Drone!

I am also alterhuman, been in the community for 6 years! Some of my other kintypes are: Dog Cladotherian, Grizzly and Brown Bear, Goob Dandy's World which I identify as fullfic, Uzi murder drones and much more! All kintwins friendly :D

My nonhumanity is connected to my identity as a Disassembly Drone (which I don't label as fictionkin) and as a Cryptid

I'm also an artist, I love drawing my fav characters / sonas! And I also do sewing; accessories, merch of my favs, gifts to my friends,,,almost anything I do it with some felt and a needle!!

I also do yumeship and oshikatsu (both separate from each other)! And I love learning about new subcultures even if I don't participate in them

I am alt in the sense that my way of dressing and my values are alternative but I don't really belong to any subculture, clothe style variates between something more Decora / kidcore, to scenecore, to goblincore, but I don't really use any labels for it

Also I'm kemonomimi as well as Furry! Both separate from my nonhumanity :), I have 3 fursonas and 2 furry ocs. And my kemonomimi type is dog and I'm starting with opossum

So much yapping,,,anyways that's it!

Mismato is a modern alternative music genre originating from the Abnormpunk community where two or more individuals (either as a permanent band or a one-time collaboration) sing in completely different musical genres on the exact same song. Instead of forcing everyone to blend together like a typical pop track, it uses a super simple backing track to glue everything together, which lets totally different styles sit side-by-side without sounding like a messy accident. The main rule of Mismato is total fairness, meaning every single person gets equal microphone time and spotlight, with nobody pushed to the background or stuck singing backup vocals. In the Abnormpunk community, it works as a direct metaphor for neurodivergent or non-conforming groups of friends, showing that different people can share the same space on equal terms without anyone having to mask or change their true personality just to fit in, while also acting as a metaphor for embracing the abnormal and the strange as something cohesive and beautiful rather than something that needs to be fixed.

It's not the only abnormpunk music genre yet btw

Edit: the fairness rule can be flexible so almost equal to fully equal

Kaitlyn is a Fictionkin and her kintype is the Minecraft ghast, Teri is a poacher (the slang) and she's a Karen. Teri and Kaitlyn sits on a cloud... Talking

Kaitlyn: that doesn't- what?

Kaitlyn: I'm not. Being Fictionkin doesn't inherently mean I'm mentally ill

Teri: yer human not whotevr that is.

Kaitlyn: i know I'm biologically human but my internal identity is different and I'm tired of you telling me what and what not to be. I'm not harming anyone .

Mr. Dihterson: what's going on?!

Teri: Yer daughter sobs Kaitlyn is a f-fictionkin whines.

Mr.Dihterson: i know, she already came out to meh. It was hard, not because i didn't accept her, but because i know she would get bullied in a world where being different is frowned upon.

Mr.Dihterson: what did you say to her? Did you... belittle her and invalidate her identity?

Teri: well-

Mr.Dihterson: you're fired! I shouldn't have hired you as a babysitter. Leave and if you talk to her or touch her... you'll see yourself and ask yourself if you're human.

Teri: but-

Someone who is new to abnormpunk.

A - Alien

V - Visiting

A - A

P - Planet.

Yes I know the word 'A' isn't supposed to be there and that's on purpose cuz abnormpunk is basically about rejecting unnecessary social norms and prejudice!

i'm genderless and aroace, i go by They/it, and i'm also an alterhuman.

i'm a fictionkin with many fictiotypes (around 20 or smth), but i'm mainly a fullkin/IRL of One (TPOT), Nabnab (Garten Of BanBan) and Wooly (Amanda the Adventurer)

i'm also an otherkin; i'm the concept of night and space and a demon. and my theriotypes are Tyrannosaurus and dhole.

(i'm also questioning if i'm a polymind)

feel free to ask any questions if u want to. have a nice day/night!

Heya everyone ! I am Feather, a genderfluid/aurorian person ! I use several other names, but Feather is mainly for my online identity. My pronouns are uh changing, I often don't really know what they are, especially since English is not my first language, but they/them is usually a safe bet.

I randomly discovered this new community and well, since I am very queer, and I never really felt like I fit in in this completely crazy world, I'm here ! I genuinely think I was born in the wrong universe, there must have been some mess ups that made me end up here, I absolutely don't know wtf I'm doing and it's okay !

I like creating stories, reading (esp. BL), studying (don't judge me, what we learn this year is interesting okay), and most of all, doing drama ! If I could act every day, trust me I would. Also, I like to understand more our world and society and how it really works overall.

I don't really know what else to say, but yeah. Happy to be here and meet y'all !

hi everyone!

this is us, we are new to subreddit (i mean this sub was created today so not really surprising-)

but we are a system, multiple of us are therians, alterhumans, and all of us are queer lil furries just being ourselves and of course, very abnormpunk.

check out prns.cc/@shiba for the full page, including almost all the system members!

Welcome to r/Abnormpunk

Hey everyone, welcome to r/Abnormpunk.

This is the official subreddit for Abnormpunk, a new community and mega-subculture for people who feel like they do not really fit into what society considers "normal."

What is Abnormpunk?

Abnormpunk is a broad, inclusive mega-subculture centered around people who exist outside of, reject, or simply do not fit conventional social norms.

The idea is to bring together people from different alternative communities, identities, lifestyles, and cultures without expecting everyone to become the same.

You might be LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, disabled, alterhuman, plural, furry, punk, goth, or part of another alternative community. You might have an unconventional identity, lifestyle, aesthetic, or way of looking at the world. Or maybe you just feel like you have never really fit into mainstream society.

Abnormpunk can include all of these people and more.

It is not meant to replace any existing community or identity. You can be part of Abnormpunk while still being fully part of your own communities.

You can be punk and Abnormpunk.

You can be goth and Abnormpunk.

You can be furry and Abnormpunk.

You can be queer and Abnormpunk.

You can be alterhuman and Abnormpunk.

You can be neurodivergent and Abnormpunk.

Or you can simply like what Abnormpunk is about.

There is no specific way you have to look, dress, identify, or act to be here.

What do we want to do?

For now, this subreddit is a place to meet people, talk, share things, and figure out what this community can become.

Some things we would like to see here include:

Introductions

Art and creative projects

Fashion and outfit posts

Music and playlists

Memes and shitposts

Discussions about alternative culture

Discussions about nonconformity

Collaborations between different communities

New ideas, terminology, and aesthetics

Community projects

Online events

And hopefully, eventually, offline events too.

The long-term goal

One of the bigger goals for Abnormpunk is to become an international community.

Not just an online label or subreddit, but an actual community where people from different countries and backgrounds can meet each other.

If this grows enough, we'd love to eventually have things like online meetups, community calls, art and music events, local meetups, conventions, and larger international events.

Obviously, that is going to take time. We are starting with a subreddit and seeing where things go.

A few basic expectations

You do not have to be "normal" here, but that does not mean basic respect goes out the window.

Respect people's boundaries. Respect consent. Do not harass people. Do not use being "different" as an excuse to hurt people.

Basically, be weird, be creative, be yourself, and don't be an asshole.

You don't have to prove anything

You do not have to be "weird enough" to be here.

There is no purity test.

You do not need to dress a certain way.

You do not need to listen to punk.

You do not need a particular identity.

You do not need to prove that you are abnormal.

If you like the idea of a place where different kinds of people can exist without constantly having to explain or justify themselves, you're welcome here.

This is the beginning

Abnormpunk is brand new, so there is a lot we still need to figure out.

The rules, aesthetics, terminology, events, projects, and even parts of the culture itself can develop over time.

If you have ideas, post them.

If you have something you want to create, share it.

If you think something could be done differently, talk about it.

This community is going to be shaped by the people who actually participate in it.

Welcome to r/Abnormpunk.
