Furries

Don't they want to be animals?

Don't they want to be animals?

Dec 16, 2018

No. The furry fandom is based on anthropomorphism like I've mentioned in the first episode. This means they want animals to be like humans or look a bit like them. The opposite is called zoomorphism is when humans act or turn into animals. Zoomorphism is usually a main factor in the therian fandom which is not related to the furry fandom.

Therians are people who believe they have the spirit of an animal trapped in a human body. This spirit is called a theriotype. They may walk on all fours or make their theriotype's call (ie. wolves howl, hawks screech, pumas growl). They may also wear tails and ears which is why so many therians are confused with furs.

Therians may go through a process they call shifting, which is when they may get into the mindset of the animal through meditation, being around the animal, being near other therians and so on. Joe Strike, author of Furry Nation which is a wonderful book I recommend for people 15+, is a partial therian and partial furry. His fursona is an alligator since he feels most connected to them. He went to a bog one day and sank into the mud wearing an alligator mask. Then he thought "this is where I belong" and he started physically changing. He lost weight. Gained a little muscle. He started seeming like a gator. You can find more information about therians in the link in the description but this novel is about FURRIES so let's get back to them.

When some furs have a fursuit, they may act like the character they're wearing. Let me compare this to an actor wearing a leather jacket. The actor will likely act like they're in a motorcycle gang and sneer at people, give a wolf whistle to the passing lady, and smoke a cigar. If the actor is given a diaper, you bet your buns they're going to act like a baby.

So if a black and brown dragon started walking on two legs, don't be surprised when the girl inside chirps as if she's talking in dragon speech or jumps around and acts as if every experience is a new one. Because that's Deana acting out her character.

All are a species of mammal. Humans accepted vanity willingly. Non human animals unwillingly. Furries and therian people want to be like the animals that did not accept vanity willingly. Satan does not want that using the doctrines the commandments of men taught by the church, to be like Satan toward people. I am fighting that. Thank you for providing this place to make comments.
