A message to the younger members of the community, and those who doubt there place in it:
Beings don't care.
I went to a therian meet up over anthro northwest. And it was NOTHING like the current online spaces, especially all the discourse.
There was no fighting. It was beautiful. Beings were freely using whatever labels they wanted, no one cared "why" someone identified as something, mental, spiritual, physical. Everyone was like "Hey, cool!".
Older folks talked about their time in the community while the younger ones did quads. People howled, played with squeak toys. No one cared. And most importantly, everyone agreed the infighting was pointless.
You WILL be accepted irl. This discourse doesn't matter. You are going to find your beings, and none of these online pissing contests mean anything once you meet others off the screen.
It's a beautiful place out there.

Non-therians with a big online presence don't talk about therainthropy without doing research challenge IMPOSSIBLE???
I want to make it painfully clear that I am in no way trying to "cancel" Pukicho and frankly I'm not even that upset with this post. With that being said, I do still feel the need to acknowledge that people outside our community are still painting this picture of us just being "kids just having fun playing pretend." Which is just...so incorrect...so very incorrect.
i would NOT feel comfortable admitting this on any other platform lmao
but i howl whenever i miss my friends š
