I see you are relating kun to the I-Ching hexagram meaning earth and also receptivity.
Interesting connection, anon.
(By the way, possibly noteworthy, Qabala also means “receptive.”)
The more obvious connotation is by analogy with the Japanese suffix -chan, because in this context -kun is for an older youth, a male youth you are addressing who is of equal or younger age that yourself.
Wtf is I Ching? I just listened to a Terence McKenna video last night and he mentioned I Ching. Man knew about meme's before meme's were a thing. Synchronicity...
It’s a form of divination from ancient China. The site name is not a reference to it. The site name is a play on -chan, which originally was just short for channel, but it sounds like a Japanese suffix people add to the end of kids’ names. So this ‘kun’ is a pun on that.
