I Have To Admit. I Like The "therian Masks".

Saw a tiktok of a guy saying he doesn’t feel comfortable talking to minors because he’s 19. And it’s just. I’m so fucking tired of this.

And like to be clear, I’m speaking as a victim of pedophilia when I say: We need to get over this collective fear of endangering children. Because holy shit, this stuff is getting out of hand.

The average person is not a threat to a child.

And also!!! It is actually really really good for kids to have friendships with adults that aren’t their family.

Having friendships with adults when you’re younger prepares you for adult life in a better way then only interacting with adults that are family members or teacher as well.

And also if there’s any sort of weird behavior happening with adults or teachers, it’s very helpful to have unrelated adults, you can go to, and also have a model for what normal adults are supposed to look like.

And also! You’re just making it way easier for pedophiles to prey on children when you completely avoid interacting with them as an adult. Because kids are naturally inquisitive and curious. They are going to want to interact with adults and they are going to want to ask questions. And if the only adult adults that are willing to interact and speak with them or adults who have ulterior motivations. Guess what’s gonna happen.

Also on a more general note. Having a model for what a normal healthy adult is supposed to look like makes it way easier for kids to be able to recognize and identify when adults in their personal life are being weird.

Imagine being lovekin but aromantic as hell?????????

Couldn't... Couldn't be me... Ahahha

Thought I'd share my thoughts

He just like me fr

To those new to the therian community (& the otherkin/alterhuman community as a whole, honestly), if you're trying to figure out your kintype and you're struggling I have an insider secret for you.

Just pick one. Just pick a label that feels good enough and run with it. Nobody is gunna challenge you and ask you, well how do you KNOW? and if they do, they're a fuckin weirdo and you can tell em to fuck off. You don't need to be 100% sure. You can actually just do what you want, forever. Maybe you'll realize it isnt for you and move on. Maybe you won't. Fuck it

V8: We painted our shoes all paw-like! Also the beads we added to the laces change color in the sun! (with cat photo bomb)

~shoes~

I am begging y'all to stop they/themming folks who don't use they/them just because they don't pass, or YOU personally don't "feel comfortable" using their pronouns.

Use his pronouns. Use her pronouns. Use its pronouns. It's common courtesy.

I'm not even a domestic cat

I'm a giant predator who could easily rip your face off

But then I see those silly cat videos and it's just.. IT ME!! X3

It's literally so me, let me do lil love bites despite the fact I could do severe damage to you.. me thinks I look cute

Spent a good portion of time making sure others feel comfortable being alterhuman

And yes I'm fine here but it still took me awhile to ever figure out my own nonhuman identity, and I'm still figuring it out!

Never feel like you have to rush, or that you have to "prove" your identity, or that you have to be 100% sure at all times about everything, or that you HAVE to know everything

It's okay, you'll figure it out at some point
