This may help you

So I think it's dumb for someone to think that they are literally a dog. And in your mind this is comparable to racism and homophobia? Get a life

Clearly you have more than enough free time to do a bit of research,

Once again, you are taking my words hyper-literally. When I say "I don't have time to do research" I do not mean that I literally cannot set the time aside to research furries. It means that I would prefer to stab my eyes out with a fork than have to spend time reading psychotic dribble written by someone who thinks they are literally a rhinoceros (and no, I don't mean that I would literally prefer to stab my eyes out)

Fair enough

I have had rather frustrating conversations with two different people, on two separate occasions, trying to explain to them that they are not, in fact, an animal. To me this is a rather absurd situation to be in. So that frustration probably comes through in my post.

Once again, you are getting on my case because you take everything I'm saying hyper-literally. Do you have autism or are you just that literal minded?

It can be fun and diverse at the same time.

Your idea of "fun and diverse" is enabling people with psychotic delusions by telling them that, yes, they actually are a zebra after all, when what you should be doing is encouraging them to see a psychiatrist

You are an outlier

Do you honestly think the average person knows furry technical jargon? Touch some grass

It's jargon. No one uses those words who isn't already a furry

What do you want me to do? If I had titled this "The whole therians thing is stupid" then no one would know what the hell I was talking about, because no one knows these terms who isn't already a furry

If I'm the asshole for pointing out that its stupid to literally think you are a zebra, then sure. Guess I'm an asshole

No one knows what the fuck a "therian" or "otherkin" is. People do not use these terms unless they are already a furry. Everyone outside of the community just uses the word "furry". Is that less precise? Sure. But I'm not here to use technical jargon invented by a bestiality-centred internet community. Speak English

Sorry for having better things to do with my time then do research into the precise academic terms people with bestiality fetishes use to refer to themselves with. In everyday speech these people are "furries". No one knows what the fuck an "other kin" or "theradian" or whatever is. Let's speak English here bud

its probably secretly popular but i think a lot of people would be scared to say it because they dont want to be labelled a bigot

if anything will make me reconsider my position it's being called the fun police

So the otherkin folk are really weird to me, but I dunno that they are clinically weird unless they truly believe their own shit.

If they truly believe what they say they believe, then it very well could be clinical and they could benefit from seeing a psychiatrist. Anyone who earnestly believes that they are literally a zebra is suffering from delusions

Please forgive me for not doing in-depth research on the subtleties of furry culture

The Trump administration has also been holding meetings with the leaders behind the Alberta separatist movement ( source). At this point I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the US is performing a targeted destabilization campaign against Canada.

Brilliant system. Couldn’t fault it.

If you read my original comment, you'll notice that I said the US is far from perfect and I'm not a big fan. That said, it's an incredibly unnuanced take to think that literally everything the US does is evil. They do at least some things right, even if you want to argue that, on balance, they suck. And one of the things that they do do right is their protections of free speech. This prevents a situation where you can arrest people for protesting in support of Palestine, as currently happens in the UK and Australia.
