I'm not sure exactly what aspect of kinning you're asking if think is real, but the way I see it, i don't believe that I Am Mari Ohara Reincarnated In The Flesh. kinning for me is about feeling a rlly strong connection to a character's situation, motives, and personality. some people take it much more seriously than others and see it in a different light, causing some issues between communities but it's just a rlly subjective matter. i get why some people think it's stupid, so hey to each their own
