#btw if u r reading this: no i am not a cultist nor do i support cults. my belief of being physically nonhuman is my own and harms no one.

the physical nonhuman community is genuinely in a bad state and i don't think it will ever be fixed until people learn to stop being losers over semantics and accept people as they come (provided they're not the uwu im an alpha werewolf demigod type we all despise) or until actual scientific research gets put into our existances... which will likely never happen. (hey remember how in 2012 there was supposed to be a big reveal of nonhumans to humans? what happened to that lol)

like. genetics only get us so far. they do not explain mythic shifters like mermaids, dragons, etc, or even prey shifters (how would prey shifter lines survive?)

but yet. nonhumans unexplained by genetics exist. you can jump thru as many hoops as possible - there is no genetic explanation for *some* nonhumans. or, you can go the worst route (shecuntmode) of "no shifters except wolves and some other predatory mammals exist" which is also fucking bullshit because if they don't exist.... why do they. why do they exist. no really, explain to me how nonhumans i can verify as real exist when they are supposed to not exist. u can't. congratz. you have seen the flaws in your argument.

genetic only explanations are palatable because it's what makes sense, yeah? it gives some credibility, yeah? but it is unsustainable and only causes infighting and genuinely harmful beliefs and cults to form.

yes. your "genetic only" belief is just as harmful and prone to cults as the "anything is possible" / "anyone can shift" belief is.

bad people exist and champion both sets of beliefs. one belief as for why or how we exist is not superior - i have met people on both sides who are nonhuman thru and thru. I've also met fakes and wannabes on both sides.

idk man. use like, basic understanding and deduction skills here. it's not that difficult to ensure that we both stop infighting over shit neither side can prove 100% that applies to all nonhumans, while also keeping people who are lying for that nonexistant shifter clout out of the community.
