"Calling yourself an angel is disrespectful towards religions!"
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
Angels have various depictions outside of Christianity. And I say "christianity" because usually, that's the only religion that anti-otherkin people "defend" to go against angelkins. It's the only argument they have, because to them, Christianity is the only relevant religious belief. But have you considered that there may be creatures similar to angels that simply have a different name - like messengers from greek mythology such as Hermes - or that some people may have their own ideas and values?
Ietsists, for instance, believe in an unspecified trascendent reality because they think there are higher beings/forces that rule the universe (whether or not there's evidence for their existence). Ietsism combines traditional ideologies, superstitions or folk beliefs without believing in a main god. But they can believe in astrology, clairvoyance, and guess what - angels too. Angels who may not be westernised blonde humans with blue eyes & a halo on their head. Is this disrespectful? And if I believe in the existence of non-christian, non-religious celestial creatures, am I not allowed to be angelkin accoding to MY beliefs?
Just say you don't support the otherkin community and move on. You don't have to act like a hero. If you have to hate on something, be sure to sound smart enough to be taken seriously - not just by your audience of ableist close minded bullies. 99% of y'all aren't religious in the slightest
