Anyone Else Feel Like An Outcast In The Alterhuman Community?

Anyone else feel like an outcast in the alterhuman community?

Most of the therians/alterhumans/nonhumans I see online are minors; I’m 20 years old.

Most of them can do quadrobics; I can’t run on all fours for five minutes without everything hurting, and if I did a jump, I’d probably break my wrists

A lot of them seem to enjoy the company of humans; I’ve never trusted or liked humans

Most of the community talks about being “silly” or “cute” when experiencing a mental shift; I have violent, animal instincts and avoid others when I feel a mental shift coming on

I don’t know. I just feel like a lot of us have become… tame. And I’m not. I feel like we as a community don’t talk about the “darker” side of not being human. The violent prey drive. The instinctive fear of humans that wild animals have.

To clarify, I mean no hate towards those who genuinely enjoy not being human. I just feel like even in a community of outcasts, I’m an outcast.

It’s just frustrating. In a place meant for those who aren’t human, I’m still too different to fit in. I just want to have a place to belong, you know?

(This is an edit) So, it seems I’m definitely not the only one. If anyone wants to talk about their less normalized instincts, shifts, etc., feel free to in the comments. If I find any hate or harassment in my comments, that person’s hateful comment will be removed and they’ll be blocked. My blog is a safe space

The difference between these pictures is ten days. First one was taken August 9th, second one on August 19th. Kittens grow fast. In case you haven’t seen my mention her before, this is Toad. My neighbor’s son rescued her and her sister from a sewer. Both are doing great.

If anyone wants to help me make an image ID for these, I’d appreciate it

This is Toad on September 7th, by the way. Her eyes are no longer blue

I agree

women are beautiful

Also, yes, I did finally find a drawing that looks just like my dragon kintype. All credit for said drawing goes to Dean Spencer, the person who made it. I don’t know that person; I found this image with a google search. All I know is that I like this art and will be using it as inspiration in the future

I’ve got a wolf tail that looks like the fox one in the picture. It’s cheaply made, would probably break easily, and is way too small and not fluffy enough to look even close to a real tail. But yeah, I agree with OP on this. Amazon (and probably other companies) think that they can put the word “therian” in front of cheap cosplay stuff and that more of the product will be sold

It seems like Amazon has discovered the word therian being accompanied with animal stuff. I feel this will do nothing but cause trouble.

"Look at this animal shit, it says 'therian' this is prof it's just dress up"

"Why does all this animal stuff you want say 'therian' what does that mean?"

"Look at all this 'therian' stuff I just bought. It means I'm a therian too."

This could almost replace the creativity in the community too. We thrive off of unique artistic expression. The fur farms that the tails come from are also a problem.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid but something about having Therianthropy capitalized off of is sending me bad signals. At best it could help others discover us and themselves at worst it could put a target on every single person who likes animal roleplay.

To all those who just started to follow me because of a post I made, keep in mind that I am part of a system that isn’t created by trauma. I’m saying this because not everyone who just followed me has a DNI listed or pinned, so I don’t know if everyone following me actually supports my existence. If you are against systems that aren’t formed by trauma, please just unfollow and/or block me
