being robotkin or anything adjacent does not give you an excuse to be pro-ai. being techum or anything adjacent does not give you an excuse to be pro-ai. being neurodivergent does not give you an excuse to be pro-ai. i cannot believe that has to be said.

therian confusion/misinformation makes me irrationally angry.

just saw a tiktok of someone saying they would disown their child for identifying as an animal (weird thing to post by the way) and it just irked me.

all the comments were attempting to defend therians by saying things like, “i'm a therian and all of us know we're humans,” “only insane people truly believe they're animals,” and, “the only therians i've seen are teens and kids!” ...

hi! i'm an adult therian who fully believes that it's a canine. i'm not a human in any way. vague and blanket statements such as those shown above are extremely harmful to the community.

physical therians are valid. “insane” and “delusional” therians are valid. adult therians are valid.

respect those within your community, you're one of us. you are not better than us just because you accept being a human.

Alright then

Edit: Sorry, accidentally make it 24hrs. I'll do another after this one is up!

Did the whole "Don't hate what you don’t understand" lesson we were taught a million times over in children's movies go over people's heads?

This is how we should be acting

Oh, you're Muslim?

That's awesome, I'm always so inspired by your creativity in fashion!

You're pagan, and worship several pantheons at once?

That must be a lot of work! That's impressive!

You're a girl but you use he/him pronouns?

Alright, it doesn't inconvenience me at all to respect that, and it's interesting.

You're cupiromantic, so you don’t feel romantic attraction, but you still want to do romantic things?

I don't see how that's any different than an ace person who enjoys sex, or even an allo person using a dating sim game, so go right ahead!

You're a therian that physically identifies as your theriotype?

That's fascinating, how does that work?

You identify as robotkin?

That's sick as hell, tell me more!

None of these things affect me personally, and none of them inherently harm anyone. Can we please treat things with curiosity instead of anger?

For people who are wondering if they are therianthropes or otherkin, or trying to find their species or kintype

Only you can know who and what you are. No one else can tell you. Your process of self discovery is your own and others can't do it for you. It can be hard work. Here is my favorite article for folks who are questioning their species. And here is a collection of resources about questioning for therians and otherkin.

Shout out to psychological therians with stigmatized mental illnesses. NPD, ASPD, schizospec, and all others that are demonized by everyone. You're amazing!

[dogwaterdish]

yeah as furry and a therian it's always confounding to me when people hate. for a real long time, humans have been playing with the concepts of anthropomorphic creatures. and ofc, it doesn't hurt anyone if someone dresses as a wolf, or identifies as a bat or smthn. people are just having fun and expressing how they feel, why would you be so upset about that when it hurts a grand total of nobody (except for fursuiters who overheat lol)

i think in the end furries will always win. in whatever time it takes i think people are going to realize anthropomorphism is so deeply ingrained in us as creatures that to even invent a hatred of the concept to begin with is like hating the concept of telling stories or singing or dancing

“Why’d you do that?” Please remember that I am using what I’ve seen in humans to mimic them
