This is just a thing I see on my internet romps every now and then but it drives me crazy for no reason, bare with me. Why do people draw lines in the sand about different kinds of therians lol? Who cares if someone woke up and decided that they're wolf therian or something when you decided unconsciously you were a wolf therian instead. Why do people fight about whether or not someone can choose to be therian, its the most silly gatekeeping I see. And don't come at me saying "well theres this label for chosen therians because they're not actual therians like me" you guys... made these terms up in the first place it literally doesn't matter. There is absolutely zero difference between a chosen therian and a not chosen therian and you can't convince me otherwise. How would a self proclaimed "real" therian know that they didn't just choose to be therian one day, there's absolutely no way you can know that for sure.

Every time I become curious about a subculture there's always some ridiculous gatekeeping, even objectums seem to fight over silly bullshit.

#yes I know there's a part of the community that values more spiritual beliefs #but i'm talking more in a tangible sense #there's no difference between the two that anyone can tell so why does it matter at all #like actual religions aren't even this strict when it comes to this stuff #even closed practices tend to have a tangible thing you can assign yourself to like genetics or being let in by someone #I suppose I'm of the belief that everyone chooses to be therian in a sense #even if it was from a young age #you're influenced by your environment #otherwise more people would be totally random animals like ant or earth worm therian #and thats not to say I view it as any less real I just view it as a more psychological thing rather than anything spiritual #and I believe I have the right to believe in that just as much as a spiritual therian does
