Me on my way to look for other anteaters on this site
“Why’d you do that?” Please remember that I am using what I’ve seen in humans to mimic them
I have to admit. I like the "therian masks".
I like it as a trend on tiktok, esspecially for younger alterhumans.
BECAUSE IT CONSEALS THEIR IDENTITY.
Way too often before the trend i would see little kids plastering their face online. Announcing their age. Basically posting their location.
I knew people who got hurt from it.
Is it annoying that people think it's a "requirement" for therianthropy? Yeah.
But at least it's serving a better purpose of safety with an added benefit of species euphoria.
How I look at them therian tiktoks saying "therians are people who identify as animals but we don't ACTUALLY think we're animals we know we're humans haha" :
Like get yo ass outta here
(PSA: I'm not hating on these creators it's just annoying folks trying to change people's experiences and the definition of therian or otherkin to conform to non-therians/otherkins, to be 'digestible' and 'normal')
Feeling like I should reset this place
"You're human! You can't be an animal! You're delusional!"
The humble anteater you're talking to:
I don’t want a “realistic transition goal”, I want to be the type of thing you’d hear about on an episode of the Magnus Archives
Here’s a little explainer post I made for my instagram. Thought I’d post it here too! 🐾
It does a disservice to all listed communities to have them be misconstrued and misunderstood to the degree that they often are. Hopefully this post helps some folks understand the differences and nuances a bit better! ^^
