First: I'm not babbling about it, while there are some furries who are Theri, the ones that I've talked to and even seen their FA account, they don't draw porn or R34 shoot. Also, a lot of forums that I've been to have had a lot of donkeys who berate me for so much as mentioning my artwork, calling me a fabulous furfag and whatnot, even if I show only a picture of a werewolf character. So, yeah. Internet is full of donkeys, but there are sites, like this one, that aren't.
Second: The reason why I get angry about it is because the way 'therianism' sounds makes it sound like a religion. It's not. Therianthropy is a person feeling that they are non-physically a different animal. Sure, there are people who think of it in a spiritual context, many Wiccans, pagans, even Christians. Many others think it's simply a mental thing (See Species Dysphoria.) And please don't be a snide jerkass because I have a tendency to nitpick.
Third: I did have a valid reason to bring it up. I was using it as an example. Here it is in context:
I stand up to what I truly believe whats right.
So does every Christian, and every Muslim, and every person whose viewpoint is different. Hell, I stand up for my belief that I am non-physically both a Dire Wolf and a Dragon, that the world is made of energy, that I am an empath, and that ghosts and spirits exist.
In context, it's a perfectly valid point. I do realize that you have no beef with me or any other Therian, and maybe if you want I could give you a link to the site I moderate so that you can see what we do within context. In any case, it would be best to drop the subject here before things get too out of control.
@Quiz: Thank you, Quiz, both for the kindness and the apology. Yes, it is a pretty sensitive thing to talk about, when I told everyone a while back ago, that was me showing trust towards everyone in general. I don't give trust easily for unrelated matters.
