i'm not a therian and i dont fully know about the concept but the whole hate that has started happening here in spain once it got popular is fucking insane
There's grown ass mfs planning fake hangouts just to beat up children and teens, and if they dont go for obvious reasons they cause property damage
and mind you all of this cus they disliked someone dressing up as an animal because it made them happy and cus they felt a strong connection that means a lot to them, which isn't harming anyone btw
mfs straight up joking about treating them like actual animals with the litter box and the castration and other shit, just because they don't like therians and decided to make it an issue
lots of misinformation and fake ai videos just to harm them, like straight up calling them mentally ill today on the news when talking about the topic
they're just- they're just a big community similar to furries, they're just being themselves and having fun, why the fuck are extremists using them to hurt trans folks, or making autism fellows look bad and increase the stereotype, like motherfucker some of them ARE autistic and trans, there's a lot of LGBTQ and autistic folks in the therian community
They're having fun and being themselves, sharing what they love, without hurting anyone or themselves, and i know i said that multiple times but it's fucking insane how mfs will find any reason just to hate and harm others
