[therian-aita]

Okay context, I made a post about not wanting to be human, and someone commented “your misanthropy is so sexy and we totally need it clogging the tags” (I assumed it was sarcasm), and I just blocked them and moved on. Am I the asshole for “clogging the tags”? (I assume they meant the therian/otherkin tags?)

AITA for telling a tiktoker that they have no right to speak upon Native American 'issues'?

Backstory, I somehow ended up on the therian side of tiktok, and curiously there's A L O T of infighting. I think the worst yet most humorous part of the infighting is how hypocritical the adults in that community are. A few months ago I had stumbled across a page "Speaking out" against some stuff that was wrong with the community.

In one of the slides the person had said that using feathers as any type of decor is "Appropriating native culture". I, personally was quite confused.. because to appropriate native american culture wouldn't I have to be wearing and decorating those feathers WITH the context of that culture and not just because they looked cool?

I shot this question toward the 21-year-old creator and sat back and waited for a response. A few seconds later they sent a reply, I checked it out and it was basically them asking what part of it I didn't understand. I pointed out that to me the wording was off, and by what I understood from the context it said that ANYTHING to do with feathers was cultural appropriation. They continued to talk in a circle with me for two fucking hours basically passive aggressively telling me I was 'stupid' or 'slow' for not understanding the wording in this fucking tiktok slide paragraph. Eventually, we came to the point that their native american friend wrote it, I was again like, oh the wording just made it confusing and continued to tell the creator that they should have just told me that this was a subject that they couldn't answer on because they were white. (And I mean pale asf white, I checked their previous videos and damn she was a basic blonde bitch) They continued to passively aggressively tell me that their friend wrote it and that they had "no clue as to why you're so confused when it's written right there."

I was just.. asking for clarification??

Idk it seems white savior-y to me but I might be tripping. Thoughts anyone?

What are these acronyms?

Can I submit a fictionkin related am I the asshole question? I thought there was a blog for that but I can’t find it

there is therian-aita, but i'm unsure if there is a fictionkin related one or if they accept fictionkin asks. i'll say yes for this one, sure, though for the time being i'd prefer to keep the blog on-brand. unless people are fine with more varied polls?

aita for using "kinnie language"?

i use kinnie, kinlist, kin as a verb, and whatever a lot of people don't like. my friend group contains both kinfolk, kff, and non-kin people and i'm sort of used to it because that's what we use when we talk about this kind of stuff (yes, we're all aware of our different usages + implications of the same word/s). lots of posts n stuff with people hating "kinnie language" just makes me feel bad :,}

AITA for being mad my mom thinks therianthropy is a mental illness?

A week or two ago I told her I was a therian, she was completely okay with it, she said she wouldn't encourage it but she was fine with it

A few days ago she had alcohol (so she was more rude then usual when saying these things) and told me she did "research" about what therians were and said it wasn't real

Then she started calling me mentally ill and schizophrenic if I actually believed I was a therian, because I told her I had a phantom shift so I was probably hallucinating or something

So I feel bad cause I blurted out that I wanted to throw something at her, and I told her other rude things because I was having a panic attack, but now I feel really awkward around her, knowing she thinks so poorly of me

aita for doing quadropics in my room around my older sister who is "uncomfortable with furry culture"(her words not mine)?

[therian-aita]

aitah for not always using my 'kin blog for nonhuman-related stuff?

For context, my blog started as a safe space for me to connect with the therian, otherkin, fictionkin, and generally alterhuman and nonhuman communities. As of late, however, I've noticed that my blog hasn't really been as kin-focused as I had originally intended. Sure, it's mostly been filled with interactions with one specific mutual and stuff about my (fictotype's) source, but as someone who originally joined alterhuman Tumblr for therian interaction, it sometimes makes me feel like a fraud and a bit of an ah.

tw: death , hunting , fox “hunting”

aita for not wanting to interact with people who are dog therians bc i was killed by a dog?

im a fox therian and in my past life i was caught and released by humans to hunt using their horses and dogs. i was killed by a dog during this, and now they all scare me, including dog therians :( aita for not wanting to interact with them?

[therian-aita]

AITA for being extremely frustrated when people use "kin" as a verb?

it's always been "kin with". people are coming here from anime kinnie communities and using our terminology wrong. i understand that maybe they're young and don't know, but it never seems to improve, even when we politely correct them.

if you want to use it for yourself, fine, whatever, but the rest of us don't "kin" our kintype. it's just really annoying because it feels like we're being lumped in with people who relate to characters and are misusing words that have had a solid definition for decades.

[therian-aita]

AITA for being disturbed at comments of my dragon-kintype that relate to us being hunted and killed for food Was in a chat the other day when someone left a distasteful comment over an image, a summery of which was them implying that the mentioned dragons in the image needed to fuck more and reproduce, just so that he could hunt them to eat more "dragon steaks" I made a comment about that, being a bit rude in return, only for the admit to side with the person making the comment, saying that it was a day old reply, and commenting that dragon furries always have such weak egos as justification for said ruling. They did not ask as to why I was upset at all, and immediately sided with the one who made the comment in the first place without any research.

[therian-aita]

aita for not correcting someone on "kinning"?

i have a nonhuman friend who recently came out, but still uses the word kinnie and kinlist. i haven't corrected them yet mostly because of my spoon levels.

[therian-aita]
