Trying to make friends in the alterhuman community is so annoying bcs a decent chunk of the community on most platforms except here r like 13, I'm not hating on younger alterhumans, I just wish it was easier to find people around my age in my community

"otherpaws are retards who need special titles to separate themself from any other roleplayer" in that case, so are otherkins. They are also using special labels to separate themself from any other identity.

This is just wrong. Otherkin is not roleplay, it is a spiritual and sometimes physical identity that one cannot simply manifest. It is worthy of it’s own classification due to its unique requirements and parameters in contrast to other forms of nonhumanity.

Otherpaws, on the other hand, as a grouping and identity, evolved directly out of cultural appropriation. The masks and things they use may not be a universal trait of therian culture, but most users of them are therians. They saw that we had these things and wanted it for themselves, then took it, giving themselves a new special title to try and avoid the inevitable backlash they knew would occur.

There is a fundamental difference.

Self-Discovery isn’t going to be found scrolling online.

Put the phone down and listen to your mind and body.

Be with yourself for a little bit.

Go outside. Read a book. Let your eyes rest. Let your mind rest.

dude i don't normally like to dig at peoples fun i generally think people having fun is good but it is slightly disheartening when there's a really really good story about a strong platonic relationship and then the only thing the fans can do is ship the characters or worse make a crack ship with an unrelated character from another media because it's like they can't STAND a lack of romance in media like they absolutely must try to insert romance where it is absolutely not needed or relevant and honestly sours the story/media a lot more for me or they'll Die because they can't just be happy with a really good platonic relationship. it makes me very sad as a demiromantic girlie.

Am I just a discourse blog now? Lmfao whatever we ball 💁🏽

Remember, no harassing anyone, because this is just for educational purposes only!! I just woke up too so this might be all over the place, but bear with me...

By that logic, you think otherkin identities are boiled down to wearing gear and quadrobics. You should also hate furries/kemonomimis. They're not roleplaying being otherkin, they're roleplaying being theriform animals and fictional characters. The only time they mention us is to say they're not us, simply having fun instead of a serious identity.

They aren't making us look like roleplay because we're two different communities. If we get mixed up, there's room for correction.

In this case, it's only mocking if they intend it to be that way. Otherwise, they're just having fun and aren't harmful to us at all.

"You're either a human, nonhuman, or not." What does that even mean?? You can be both and neither. Are you policing fellow alterhumans' identities?

People don't take us seriously either way. Before otherpaws, therians were mockingly called furries. But you aren't mad at furries, are you? You're hating the wrong people. Hate the ones that aren't taking us seriously, not the ones having fun in their own separate community.

Anypaws are like gender-nonconformity, but species-wise. I think it's actually pretty punk. Stop acting like otherkind is above anypaws. We all don't conform so we're all looked down upon.

[junojasper2]

The first point here makes no sense though?? I’m not “anti otherpaw” but as someone who doesn’t necessarily like or agree with otherpaws I have to ask where are you even getting that idea from 😭??? That’s such a fucking weird thing to say

[orange-reblogging]

This is kinda vague and I dunno what you're talking about...

[junojasper2]

I don’t get why otherpaw defenders think that we are boiling down alterhumanity to quads and gear by saying “otherpaw” is an unnecessary term. It makes no sense. If anything that’s kind of the exact opposite of what we’re trying to say.

[canislupuslatrans]

I fucking hate the tiktok therian community for what they have done to the therian community. They fucking butchered the community. Now folks believe they don't even identify as animals.

They fucking forgot the name of the THETA DELTA, the fucking SYMBOL FOR THERIANTHROPY

The therian community is dear to me, it is where I first realized my flesh wasn't human like I was raised to believe. Even if I am not one of them, I am fucking angry for the damage caused to the community.

It is a big deal, because it's not fucking harmless, this new wave of therians have pushed physical nonhumans out of spaces they created and are currently trying to take our labels.

I am angry, I fear the damage to be irreversible.

The community is no longer based off of the same identity that it once was

Ever since I started accepting my non-human-ness I started wondering something, and I want to know if any of y'all experience the same thing.

I have, quite literally never, found human babies cute.

Everyone I know thinks I'm weird for that, it's not that I dislike them, I understand they're fragile and need to be cared for and protected, I just don't feel this instinctual love for them.

I do, however feel this way towards kittens and puppies, even when I was a pup myself, I spent hours at night making sure my family's dog was safe and comfortable her first few nights, even just checking if she was breathing alright. My mum had to constantly tell me "she's a dog, we love her, but she's a pet, not a human"

I know a lot of humans have this love for cute baby animals of any kind, but I just wanna know if any other folks here have similar experiences I guess.

I refuse to allow my identity to be erased by misinformation online.

“Therians don’t actually identify as animals” “Therianthropy is only a spiritual connection” “If you identify as an animal you aren’t an actual Therian”

Some people think that commenting these things are helping our community “find themselves”. They are not. They are actively harming the therian community and its members.

We cannot allow the spread of misinformation like this, unless we want our identities to be watered down and erased to a “connection”.

[junojasper2]

why is “otherpaw” even a thing??? Like ok. I don’t hate otherpaws, I just feel like having a term for that is so unnecessary??? Like literally just be a quadrobist. A mask maker. A FURRY. I just don’t like the whole “therianthropy without the identity” thing. Ok. I know not all otherpaws think about it that way. But I still don’t like it. Just call yourself a furry bro.
