Fluffsters are the people who claim to be able to do powerful magic, yet, when you dare them, they will probably tell you their magtic is too powerful, and therefor dangerous. Fluffsters will tell you about their past lives in other worlds or dimensions, and they will generally have lead great lives, of powerful people. Fluffsters will tell you they are better then all those people around you, and, when they get the chance, they will tell you that you are júst like them, if only you’d awaken to your inner powers.

Most importantly, fluffballs will throw all sorts of fancy terminology at you, and all kinds of ‘facts,’ without ever being able to really back up their claims, or even be reasonable about them. Reasoning is not what a fluffball does.

Dianic wiccans are often considered fluffballs, because they claim to be better than men, they claim to be naturally dominant over the other sex, and they throw away half of their religion because that half has male bits. They claim all sorts of things about Female Godess dominance, while any kind of gender dominance is, in fact, relatively new to our species, and proof of such a goddess is hard to find. (Only one small island in Greece, which eventually died out because of inbreeding, since too little males were left alive.) These people create ‘facts,’ and are sexistic, because it allows them a group, contact with likeminded people, and, above all, grants them superiority.

Otherkin fluffsters, or wishkin, rather, are people who really want to be special. Otherkin meants something along the line of ‘Different, but the same.’ Wishkin pretend to be just plain different. Or really wánt to be really different, in any case.
Among the wishkin are the fluffsters. These are the people who were, in their past life, elven royalty, fearie princesses, lords of darkness, archangels, and sometimes even fictional characters, created by the mind of some author or film-maker.
Typical things about wishkin fluffsters is: They will have been a hero, or really influential person, in their last life, and they believe they need to carry on that life, or part of it, in this one.

You see; there’s a good reason for both pagans and otherkin to be aware of fluff, and on their guard. Fluff does, indeed, damage their reputation, and may grant an entire subculture or group the label of fascists. (Wishkin fluffsters are nearly all human-haters, while most pagan fluffsters hate men, or think them lowly.)

I hope to have been of some help, here.

It’s not just the pagan/otherkin communities that have the problem.
