Elektranine Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Who here really believes that they're an animal? Like not just wanting to be your fursona but your spirit actually is your fursona. Do you believe you were once nonhuman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantasma Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Your spirit being your fursona? Your fursona is a fictional creation, so while yes you could model aspects of you into it... It's not you. In the end it's a creation.I really don't feel like giving you the time of day, to be honest, but yes I'm a therian and not the crazy new agers that seem to be everywhere.

Ratical Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I think a person's spirit (as in, their essence down to their most basic personality traits) can line up with a certain animal to such a degree that they empathize it on a sub-conscious level, but I'm no therian myself. I won't knock anyone for it, though. I mean, I like animals, heh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troj Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'm an atheist materialist, so I don't believe in ghosts, souls, and spirits.While I believe, for example, that being trans has a solid biological basis, I believe people who believe they're a dragon or a fox are more using that as a metaphor to describe certain sensations or experiences that they've had. Do I believe these sensations or experiences mean that a person "really is" a fox or a dragon? No. Do I generally respect people's right to use those metaphors to describe themselves and their experience? Sure.I've often felt different and/or alienated from other people since a very young age, and as a kid, I was quite insistent about being an alien from another planet. So, I do often feel "non-human" in some respect, even though I intellectually know that I am, yes, actually a homo sapiens sapiens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallium Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) I pretend to be a wolf, pretend in my head I have ears and tails, occasionally subliminally act as such...but like others said it's really just a metaphor for weird sensation and close experiences (and imagination) Im nothing but human. My 'otherkin-istic tendencies' are a byproduct of an extremely overactive imagination, probably the only reason I considered being otherkin or therian once, but I never went there because I'm aware of reality and not delusionalI can roll with therian because it has religious and historical basis, though. But as far as otherkinism and dragons and all things fictional...that doesn't work. Edited October 16, 2015 by WolfNightV4X1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hey guyz I'm totally a fox! Fuck me!But more accurately, no, I don't think I am one. We may share parts of the animal kingdom on a physical/biological/genetic and hierarchy level, but the end result is always the same, you're human; or what is largely defined as human anyway.
