This project is for anti therians AND therians themselves, but I'll start with the message for the antis. I understand that some of us may be a bit toxic and defensive to people who don't support us, but if you just go out of your way to hate us, we aren't gonna like you and are probably gonna defend ourselves. Which will lead to a lot of back and forth hate. I would like if you guys just would leave us alone and not just hang out on these reddit/tiktok/online communities for haters and talk about it all the time. And if you don't believe and think this is silly- Children and adults "pretending" to be animals, just mind your own business. Focus on your own troubles, not others doing something you don't like. And yes, it might be a bit frustrating when we keep comparing ourselves to LGBTQIA+ community and which you say are "two completely different communities," but they do have a few things in common. We're both hated. We've both had haters. I'm sure every single therian has been bullied many times and seen bullies and every single gay person has seen haters attack people many times. We don't appreciate people calling us "Stupid," "pyschopaths" and other words. I don't think you would either so I would heavily encourage you to stop hating on us, no matter what experiences you've had. Leave the matter alone and focus on your own life. To the therians: Most of aren't toxic and won't attack people who hate, and I have to agree if somebody posts on your profile that you are stupid, fake or anything else that you should have the right to defend yourself. But if somebody says that they just disagree with your beliefs and don't like your beliefs or just something not that mean leave it alone. Delete the comment. Attacking people because they don't like us is not a good look for the therian communities and will lead to more and more hate. And defending yourself should not be judged, but it's best to just leave it alone. If somebody attacks you for being a therian online please report it and if somebody attacks you in school for being a therian, tell them to back off or report it to an adult. And if some random weirdo comes up and yanks your tail randomly walk away. And if they keep following you and hurting, fight back. Nobody should be judged for defending themselves, but usually in an arguement the best thing to do is walk away.
