I guess I'll be the asshole and point out that kilograms can be directly converted into newtons. 1 kg = 9.8 newtons.
In fact, the measurement of newtons is based on the already established kilogram with respect to earth's gravitational pull of 9.8 m/s^2, and both the kilogram and newtons have a linear relationship just like Celsius and Kelvin.
Newtons only serve to simplify an equation of force, but in every other way is simply a phase-shifted version of the kilogram. Force and tension are also acceptably stated in kilograms.

(unnecessary asshole mode complete)
I'm glad there are nice assholes like you!
