This reminds me of the time when I was 13 and I told my adult neighbour that I needed to tell him a secret. He was dead serious and i deadass looked into his eyes and said "I'm a mermaid". Man tried sooooo hard to stay serious and not laugh. Lmaooooo now after 12 yrs he still brings it up 😂😂😂
As a child, (mainly because of the The Kane Chronicles, Spirit Animals series, and the Warior cats books that I was using to learn English), I always liked cats and even tried to mimic some of the behaviors. However, that does not mean that I am a cat or wild feline. I just like the idea of hanging out with them to study their behaviors. Apparently this is how I managed to accidentally lead several stray cats into the house when I was twelve.
literally. when I was younger I would run around on all fours just because it was fun! I would pretend to be a cat or dog or whatever with my friends and it didnt make me an animal or part animal, it was just the weird kids at recess lolol
When I was in preschool me and my (best) friend (to this day) let's call her... E me and E would play a game where I would be a cat, dog, ect or she would be now we both found out we're therians
Exactly like I'm not a therian but I really like the idea of being a cat and living clan life (if you read Warriors you'll understand). These people are confusing children about what their identity is when all kids should be thinking about is barbies and glitter and toy trucks and being a good child to their parents. Smh
(I'm late for this, but...) I pretended that I was a fox with my friends, and we were a family of foxes. It was a little disturbing, but It was fun :) (Btw, I'm not a therian.)
“Imagine as a young person wasting your time into thinking you’re an animal-“ imagine a grown ass woman hating on literal CHILDREN online while sitting inside 24/7
I met someone once that was convince she was a vampire because her gums would bleed when she sucked on anything. We kept telling her she needed to go see a dentist. I don't know what ever happened to her. But occasionally I wonder.
I would love to know how did this person jumped from a fruitbat to a dragon. Like... a fruitbat- I love bananas! Dragon- I love gold, princesses, and killing dwarves. Like...show me a Ven diagram with any overlapp between the two.
My daughters friend is 8 and says she is a carrot. She will draw pictures for my daughter and sign them with a little carrot symbol. She answers to Carrot. It’s so nice and normal to see these quirks expressed in childhood. Maybe the folks who are truly consumed by these identities didn’t get to.
@Argent Wolf I did not learn about it from the world, I have had spiritual experiences in which I have seen myself, my tail, my talons and horns. I have sensations of phantom limbs, where I feel my tail and wings. I am Dragonkin, and I know this to be true. I did not learn this from a human, otherkin or not.
@@GhostlyToast99 Maybe you're a reptilian overlord. However, if you are warm blooded you might not be what you think. If warm blooded, you could just be possessed. Demon possession is a real thing. Do you see your face distorting in the mirror, or on video? Do you have strange urges, like eating bugs? Time slips, where you can't remember what you did at that time? Speaking languages you never learned? Particularly a dead language like sumerian, or Latin? Do supernatural events happen around you?
So I saw an 8 year old girl jumping around Chinatown in London at the weekend, she had a tail and a mask and was pretending to be a fox. However she was being videoed by an adult hoping it was a family member, and she was being watched by grown up men who were taking photos. A little girl with her backside in the air and a tail being watched by adults, made me feel sick to my stomach.
thats the issue imo, you have a group comprised of mostly children posting themselves online, theres so many groomers in the furry community and just on tik tok in general, a lot saying things like their parents don't know theyre a therian, it makes for a very easy target for groomers. all you have to do is look up therian and youll find tons of kids
honestly, im not a therian or furry, but making the tails and stuff and doing quads is fun :) im 13, and it makes me feel alive again sometimes, just climbing around and having fun, reminds me of when i was 5 and making animal costumes and pretending to be one. it brings me back to a good time in life. though, of course i know im human because i look like one. it's just fun to pretend sometimes, it's very freeing :))
i love making suits, drawing anthro characters, and such but I don't call myself a furry due to all the disturbing things people in the community do. it hurts to see people so lost to this woke mindset :,(
That’s what they should do, working quads and getting out in nature is great for you! Unfortunately, some young people think that they are actually an animal, or act different for attention
@ yes, also, wanting attention isn’t always a bad thing. It might be a signal that they aren’t getting the attention they need. And quads can help with muscular strength as well as speed and jump heights and being in nature naturally helps the mind
This reminds me of the early 2000s when I spent time taking quizzes online to find out which Harry Potter house I’d be in. Harry Potter was huge at that time, and I was genuinely interested in figuring out my correct house. However, I never thought I was *actually* a Harry Potter character, and also, I was about 10-12 at that time, not an adult.
Even then thats way better than this lol. I mean at least the houses value traits that will help you grow as a person, Like Hufflepuff being Loyal and Ravenclaw seeking knowledge. But even then, its just for fun and acts like a sort of "sports team" (which honestly some people take that way to far too lol.)
I had a friend like this in elementary school. She would wear cat ears and hiss and scratch people. We all read the warrior cat books and each had our own “cat persona”. It was fun to me! I always had an active mind and childish role play seemed harmless. Once we got to middle school, her and my other friends joined the art classes and created their own fursonas. I chose band, and we grew apart. 8 years later, and I believe she is now transitioning to being a male, but still identifies with the furry community. I pray for her occasionally. Hope she’s ok, and I thank God that band saved me.
I second the love for the band kids, as a fellow former band kid lol (was also an art kid, studied art in college, thankfully I have a super based family so they kept me sane and wholesome through all the crazy liberal arts bs) Also loved the warrior books! Played pretend as a cat soooo much growing up but i always knew it wasn't real thankfully (however much I wished it was)
I get being like, "If I was in this universe, I would like to be this cat." I gave my preference for Wings of Fire (NightWing and RainWing, my two favorite dragon tribes.) But have a whole "fursona" over it is madness. One is harmless imagination, the other is delusion. Glad band saved you, I'm a theater kid, I fear for what I will see in the future lol
@@KiwiKeybladeim a furry and I just wanted to say that fursonas aren't like what we think we really are it's just like an avatar to represent us. If someone believes they really are their fursona, then that my friends is a mental illness
I find it kinda weird how literal ADULTS will go out of their way to bully CHILDREN because of an identity. Like dude get a job and leave the kids alone.
Koalas are super cute but they can also be super dangerous and defensive of their territory by dropping from trees onto passersby to attack. So I could see Brett as a koala bear tbh
I love your videos! As a 16 year old girl I'm so happy to have someone to look up to when I go into this world as an adult. I've become a lot more confident in my beliefs because of you and I hope you have a blessed day! ❤
It's an old, almost worn-out reference, but dammit, if it's not still a very apt assessment of woketards today. There's just no other way to collectively characterize them in a non-insidious capacity.
Why are you cringing she is speaking facts I don’t hate anybody cause that’s a sin but my opinion is that God made you as a human NOT an animal and by people acting like that is just disrespectful. If furrys or whatever know that they are humans then why are you trying to stop being one, God made all people on earth a HUMAN, you’re not an animal.
Man I love this timeline. These videos never cease to amaze me. The deeper you dive into it the better it gets. The concept of not having something to overcome possibly causing fracturing in the human psyche fascinates me.
It fascinates me also. Could it be that in our modern era humans have no more animals to prey upon them, and our technology is making life so comfortable that the psyche is coming up with problems to overcome?
@@ZeroYoung-pz5rwFor the love of god she isn’t making fun of minors. I have no idea how you people took that from this video. And even if she was it’s based. Y’all need to be made fun of more.
I used to think I was a mermaid... Soon I found out that I wasn't😂 I almost drowned in a pool. You guys will find out soon enough that you guys aren't what you believe you are. One day you guys will realize its just a phase and you will find out that it's actually kind of fun being a human. Right now everything is boring but as you grow up your mind will evolve and you'll become aware. Love you ❤

Right?! That was CHEF'S KISS perfect! Fun Fact: Fursuits, the costumes she's referring too, are all hand made stitch by stitch. People and companies have tried to mass produce them, but you simply can't have quality like that. Some suits having lighting built in, faces, some even speakers and digital displays! Fursuit making is a very tedious and painstaking job, but also allows people to start their own small businesses, here in America, taking commissions, and contributing to the economy while having a job that brings them great joy and fills them with purpose.
I love your videos brett! as a teen girl who used to think that all of this seemed perfectly normal due to the media, i am so glad i started watching your content! i realize how wrong my view of “normal” was and i am so thankful for that! thank you so much and have an amazing day 💗
Furries aren't all bad, and many of them are very smart, infact there are doctors and lawyers who are furries. Please do your research and keep an open mind
This reminds me of when I was 6 or so I was obessed with horses. I had a babysitter who told my mom I was possessed by the devil because I was under her dining room table pretending to be a horse trapped in a stall😅
My husband and I stumbled upon a furry con while celebrating our first anniversary in a beach town I grew up going to. It seemed so odd and out of place but hey, I guess furry's like the beach too!
We know we’re human and Therians are not like Furries :/ And us Therians do have strong connections with specific animals, and once we figure out we’re Therians, it stays like that.
Connection is otherhearted. Therians identity either psychologicalyy, spiritually, emotionally as an animal. I just correct some because i don't want people to be confused :)
Can't you just feel a connection to an animal and then you know just like that animal and that's it? I mean I'm a Gemini but I'm not going to check out every box or feel like I need to be like a gemini or whatever. I mean I found out that I might be a dolphin that doesn't mean that I'm going to make my whole life surrounded because I'm a dolphin in a test or that I feel connected or I have things that connect me to a dolphin or whatever😂. (Okay now I'm confused and I confused myself)😢
I’m a furry and I really like your content. To be honest I’m glad you did this video and learned that furries DONT think we’re animals. We are just regular people that like to draw and dress up as anthropomorphic animals! It’s basically just cosplaying. Most of us are very normal and not crazy perverts or anything. It’s just a bad stereotype:( (there are some exceptions, but the furry community as a whole really is made up of normal, if not somewhat nerdy, people).
Clears up a lot for me because I never actually got why the furries were like... taboo? Fetishy? From everything I can find they just seem to be people who like to dress up and draw characters... and I can vibe with that. Yeah there are gross people but I mean, there are R34 Pokemon artists and that doesn't make Pokemon fetishy. Idk
Yeah it's basically just cosplay! Like, people who go to comic-con dressed as Darth Vader or Wonder Women don't actually think they're the REAL Darth Vader or Wonder Women. It's fun, artistic expression for most of us. And just like every year at Comic-con there's gonna be at least one hotel room with a guy paying a Cat Women to whip him while he's tied to the bed, the Furry community has it's own unsavory pervert members. That just comes with the territory of a large, decentralized community/fandom.
@@Lusa_Icehearthat’s so wild I legit 🐱 egorized (see what I did there 😂) all of y’all in a weird perverted group of people who just wanna do the nasty while pretending to be animals. I feel bad now I didn’t know there were like normal people just having fun in yalls circle
@@vesa3252 People who say they are the same are people who have seen the surface level of these groups and see that many therians are also furries, people who say they aren't the same have actually seen what a furry is (whether or not they understand what a therian is).
Okay as a THERIAN my self this is what it is: a THERIAN and a FURRY are NOT the same a furry is when they COSPLAY AS A ANIMAL a THERIAN is when you feel some what a animal is in you a non physical way you CAN NOT BECOME A THERIAN if you want to become a THERIAN look at other link I hope this helped ❤
But therians aren't real. its a thing you make up in your mind due to things like species dysphoria or depression, which means you should seek a therapist, and if you continue, its a mocking of god and basically asking to go to hell
"They're searching for meaning, a community, for something that is going to make them feel like they have a purpose and that they're special. There are so many other ways to do that like a religion or friendships " It's so true what Brett said
An overwhelming amount of furries are minors from what I understand (or just act like it at least) and are also LGB or TQ. It makes sense that they'd want to find community within each other, considering that they are often picked on as children.
@Argent Wolfdefine alot.. And yes most children are picked on at some point in their life. Stop trying make these individual victims as if children actually give a shit about these issues, they don't.
when you say “oh there’s no guidelines you have to have something” there is guidelines, there’s just many different types of therians. that’s like saying the lgbtq doesn’t exist because “there’s not guidelines”, yes there is and that’s like saying gay people and trans people can’t both be lgbtq because they are different. lgbtq people have sometime of sexuality or gender identity difference, and therians identify as an animal on non physical levels. there IS guidelines there are many different types.
you are so right! there is something called sapphic witch is for anyone and everyone [ who is not straight ] who likes women bc EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT!!! and she should respect that >:[
The closest I have had to this experience is when I was in school and someone asked me to dress up in a gorilla costume and I ran around a classroom and they filmed it for one of their student projects. I however did not think that I was a gorilla I knew exactly what I was. Lol
This is what happens when pretend time ends up following you into adulthood and you're still playing pretend well into your thirties and forties this is just insane to me!
Playing pretend is fine... But usualy it stays in our heads or we write a book about it or draw a picture. This however is concerning and I worry about the future generation!
@@glitterboxx19 yeah I’m in my “past life” phase. When will people realize that therianthropy is not a phase. If it *is* a phase, the person misidentified.
Honestly, I’m so glad I grew up before any of this really took off. I was a weird kid. I was into a bunch of different things, and I was just exploring what I liked. But at the end of the day I was still a girl, I just had weird funny things that I liked to do. What happened to kids having an imagination and they wanna play and pretend there are some thing and that’s OK it’s just pretend. It’s like you pretend to be something and now that’s your whole identity. This is why our art and our entertainment has gone to shit because we can’t tell the difference now between fantasy and reality. These people on TikTok they could be amazing, artists and they are Spending their time on TikTok thinking that what they’re saying in their head is reality when they could just create great art.
Right? I think back to myself at 5 when I tried a male character named "Abner Wrinklebottom." Thank goodness I'm not a kid today, I might have been transitioned and stuck with that name😂
I know I'd be f-d. I was totally convinced for the longest time I was an elf from another dimension. LOTR coming out only made it worse. Instead I just entered the indie entertainment industry and became a writer. Which is exactly where half these people should be. Working as creatives in entertainment, or improving work-life as creatives inside large companies. The other half perhaps cud be relocated elsewhere 😅
@@MichaelThomasHoward-ol5hg it’s not make believe, these people genuinely believe in past lives (of course not all therians believe this.). It’s called Buddhism, and It’s a religion. “Therianthropy is just make believe” is not very different than me saying that the Bible is a fairytale. I truly do not understand how this could be make believe.
I thought a therian was that electronic musical instrument that makes noise when you hold your hand close to it, but don't touch it. Edit: apparently the instrument is called a _theramin,_ which sounds like a flu medication.
@@SakuraTea69 I get therianthropy sounds rlly weird. Like I get it but it’s not hurting anyone, plus religion also sounds weird if you explain in the way she explained therians. I don’t like we should hate ppl especially kids (and she said in the video multiple times that she knew they were kids)
@@CryptidboyO.O exactly, it’s not hurting anyone, and also it’s something they have no control over. It’s fine if you think it’s weird but just leave them alone lmao
Okay but 11:42 is so valid. As a girl who has some masculine features (like being toned bc I work out a lot) my friends say I look gay- and of course there’s nothing wrong with being gay- but I’m not gay so it makes me uncomfortable to be labeled like that just because I’m strong and a bit tomboyish like Brett was talking about
she's right at this part of the video (rare brett cooper W) you can be a tomboyish girl or a feminine boy, but being trans is not just liking things that the opposite sex stereotypically do. you can be a feminine trans boy, and a masculine trans girl!
@D-and-D-3172 Yes you did, someone in the comments said "I couldn't figure out what animal I was it took 5 years☝️🤓" and if you feel like you're born with some it would be called ✨ mental illness ✨
Furries is just a community of people who simply appreciate the creative choices of talking and/or anthro character in stories and media. And their "fursonas" are just simply their avatars/mascot. And the suits are meant to play the same role as theme parks/sports with how they use those SAME type of suits to bring their characters to life. Yes all fandoms have their people who take things too far, but this fandom/community I feel gets too harshly judged because people automatically affiliate them with Therians, Otherkins, & Zoophiles; making the assumption that they are all one in the same when they aren't. Furries by themselves are just an artistic/creative community.
@@Iheartmycat377 you can't simply identify as something and expect people to roll with it . I can't just decide to identify as your parent for example , or a car , or a helicopter. That's just not real .
I love drawing animals and been called a furry many times, i did like furrys when i was in middle school but not anymore. Ive been in art since 5th grade and i feel even more distant with my fellow artists. Everyone is either gay or trans or saying they identify as something different than what they appear to be, i feel like i dont belong. I love what i do and what i create but i feel very different than my peers.
Artists tend to fall into that category. As a former high school choir teacher, I saw that a lot of my students were part of the LGBT community, especially those involved in drama and art, but not all! I want to encourage you to keep pursuing your passion through art & know that there are others out there with similar interests to you that don't follow this ideology! I promise we exist ❤
The Google definition of a therian is a human who thinks they were an animal in there past life and might run on fore legs to reenact it so there is a definition
@@greenlizard4208 as an inanimate object i can confirm he is indeed objectphobic. hes violating my rights and needs to be sentenced to death by repeated insults by blue haired women.
1."In general, furries are individuals who say they are furries." Saying that you are a furry doesn't say what a furry is, if you want to know, a furry is someone who has an interest for anthropomorphic art styles, anthropomorphic meaning animal with human characteristics. A lot of furries tend to create an anthropomorphic character to represent themselves called a furrsona. Some furries make a cosplay of their furrsona which is called a furrsuit 2. "Therians are individuals who believe they are not completely human and instead identify as a species of non-human animal." Not exactly, Therianthropy is the non physical experience of animalistic behaviors, instincts, and/or urges, it could possibly be any animal. Otherkin being therianthropy but they identify as a animal/creature that isn't real or maybe existing in a planet other than earth. 3."I think it's a girl, I'm guessing." They are non-binary and use they/them pronouns. 4."now we're gonna skip ahead a bit." You could have missed vital information and if you watched the video before hand at least tell the viewers what they talked about. 5. "See this is the problem with every one of these weird ideology's and progressive movements is that there's no actual guide lines or definition. Nobody knows what it means, 'it can be anything its so intersection it juts means anything whatever you feel.' No that's not how it works, that's not how the world works you half to have guide lines and this video is saying 'it can be anything you want, whatever you feel, you're probably a therian just anything' " Like what I said earlier this post, your theriotype can be any animal, it is also a very specific animal, so behaviors WILL vary based off of what species your theriotype is and its personality. 6. "That's confusing people" I think it's confusing close minded people who didn't watch the full video. 7. "I'm glad this person is at least acknowledging that human beings are real and that some people might just be having human instincts" They aren't saying that you ARE a therian, the video is just explaining how you can figure out IF you are a therian 8. "I thought we where going in a good direction a good direction and now you're just muddling again and I literally have no idea what you're saying" They are saying that for example: if you crave meat "well that is a human thing cuz human are omnivorous" but if you like meat in a very specific way (like, the same way a carnivorous species would) that would be an example of a human thing in an animal way. 9. "Imagine being a parent and your a kid is like mother I identify as a fruit bat" I think the kid would provide more background and/ore details. 10. I cant even explain or decipher a good chunk of what you said because of how stretched it is 💀, also i cannot type all of this S H I T you are throwing out 11. when a therian is talking about their "home" (territory, family, etc...) that means what environment makes them most comfortable. some therians have memories about having an entire LIFE the only difference is that they are an animal. ps past life stuff NOTE: i don't think bro understands what identity are nor does she understand opinons💀
i appreciate the clarification at the beginning of the video. I dont wanna be associated with Theirans. i dont even own a suit nor do i plan on it. I just like the art personally. Love your show Brett
@@leaflet1686 The crazy furries really messed that up generally didn't they😂. Now you can't even like a anthropomorphic animal character, or the internet will think you're a full on furry and associate you with all the craziest weird perverted stuff.
As a Dutch citizen myself, I would like to apologize for the totally weird behaviour of 'Thorn', who is the guy in the Therian guide video, and who also happens to be Dutch. Not all Dutch people are this weird. I really hope he either grows up, or gets help.
I love Brett and everyone else in the daily wire. and I escaped the feminism cult. I have not been realizing reality and building a relationship with God is what I should prioritize. These types of people give me faith in society!
He's obviously not really 13 years old, guys. The same troll comes into here and play you all the time. "I escaped the feminism cult" at 13 years old. Sure, man.
People who are furrys are human we aren't stupid bro we just like dressing up as cute animals think of it like cosplay but with Mascot suits. WE KNOW WE ARE HUMAN WE LIKE BEING HUMAN.
My husband and I were accidentally at a furrycon while on vacation last year! 😂 They had an event in a conference room at a museum we were visiting. We were so confused while we were walking in with all those people wearing costumes. I had a conversation with an older lady in the lobby who said that her teenaged grand daughter refuses to go anywhere out of costume! 😮 😢
I saw the title in clicked immediately, this should be a good video cause I have people like this at my school, I can only wonder what their parents are like. This should be labeled as abuse or at least neglect.
@@Belle_2224 how can there be literal furries in school? Like bruh at my school nobody can even blink without getting bullied, let alone put on a mask and identify as an animal
What?! We need details about these things happening at your school. Do they just walk around wearing costumes? Do they go on all fours? Do they eat with their hands or nah?
@@Whatisthis438 if you bully them you get in trouble for not ‘being inclusive’ 🙄. Like sure we’re the weird ones here not the ones wear tails as masks??🙄😂
Wowzers, never this early for these videos. Glad to have someone that's actually intelligent discussing issues in our lives (however silly they may be). Happy to be here, Brett! ^^
I get it if you don’t support therians but mocking them is not ok. That is their identity they can not change that. Don’t you have something better to do then make fun of people all day.
This sounds a lot like the personality test you might take for fun in junior high/middle school and either halfway agree with the results or laugh at how goofy the results were. You can change many of the results of personality tests based on your mood while taking them.
When I was Little, I wanted to run around with tails, but that was because I was just being a child, my parents never tried to make me anything I wasn't, I was just a little girl who liked animals just playing around like a kid does. And here I am, a perfectly normal teenage girl.
@@acrissey8152 when I was little, I used to pretend to be a wolf. However, that does not define me as a therian. What defines me as a therian is what I believe. I believe full heartedly that my past life was a cat. My past life talks to me through dreams and through shifts. One day I hope to be reincarnated back into an animal..
This is one of the few times I am very grateful for my father.. if I went to him and asked to be called they and dressed as a wolf he'd simply say "oh get over yourself.."
@@flutist-jinxx cyber bullying doesn’t exist, stop crying and turn off your phone. It’s that damn simple you attention seeking “cyber bullying victims”
I have a friend who is a therian and whenever they see something on the internet, they get so obsessed for like a week and that makes me nervous for them because they don't exactly have the best mental state.
10:58 I may have an answer for you: yes, every child will at some point experience this, but most children don’t have a behavior stick for their entire life lives.
1: therianthropy is a belief and a non-physical connection to an animal, it can be spiritual or mental/psychological. There are also some therians who belief that their connection come from past lives, you can either be born therian or develop a connection to animals via different ways! 2. The most common theriotype is wolf 3. A therian is someone who believes they are an animal while also being very well aware that their human. While furries do cosplay, it's a hobby and anyone can become a furry by buying or making a fursuit. Talking about fursuits, the price is insane and we should respect furries because they have talent to make those incredible fursuits. (Edit: this is from an old Google classroom assignment I did :3)
and its not a choice, im sorry i have shifts that make me bite stuff and nightmares and flashbacks of being a sled dog with a shitty owner, i wish i didn't but i do
@ezratheomnipotent you weren't actually a sled dog. also you can control yourself and not bite stuff because you're a person with self control and not an animal. stop trying to be special
This person doesn't realize that being a therian or other kin doesn't mean you have to tell your parents. You don't have to come out to them if u don't want to! 🐾
As a therian myself, I wanted to politely point put one thing. When Brett says,"I'm a koala therian because I like hugs." Does not mean you're a therian. Humans can like hugs too, it's in our blood to be social. If someone said," I'm a bear therian because I tend to sleep longer in winter and be overprotective of those I love." Would be better. (Thanks Thorn for the example) Note: I'm not sure, but I think Brett left out part of the start.*
Humans also sleep longer in the winter, and are also overprotective of their kin. Humans are social animals like you said, and humans are naturally woken up by daylight, and since winter has less daylight, we sleep longer
When I was 13 (now 21), I believed that I was a wolf therian and lived life based on that belief, and I ended up getting a therian symbol tattooed on my chest. Now I am planning on getting that tattoo covered up. My experience with it, and looking back on how I felt at the time, I can say it was more so of an escape from reality and that I was living in a fantasy world. You can believe what you want, but it doesn't make it real.
Bruh. I'm so glad I didn't grow up in the same time when this became a thing. When I was young escapism was reading fantasy and sci fi, using my imagination to write stories, getting into character for a play or musical. Nowadays there's all this weird stuff. I can't say I relate to your experience, but you were also a kid. Glad you're past that now.
@@Godchaser33 you may have felt that way, but please do not speak for the whole community because everyone’s experiences are different. You probably misidentified or misinterpreted some feelings from when you were younger, and that’s okay.
I like how they always realize they’re the coolest type of animals/creatures. Wow! You just so happen to be a freakin dragon or a cool lone wolf!? How coincidental!!!
I know a scorpion therian, a stick bug therian, and many others who are a lot less cool, they're usually less open about it because everyone wants to be cool and oftentimes people pretend they're a wolf therian just bc they think it's cool and they aren't a therian at all lol
@@AzaelsLilCave EXACTLY. I have a theory as to why insect therians arnt as common. See, imagine this. The average person probably knows more about an animal like a fox rather than a praying mantis. If you were to have a praying mantis shift, the average person wouldn’t know how to identify it because.. yeah
@@WiLd-cHiLd-from-AK true and she spreaded so much misinformation! She cut out the orginal video first few minutes explainin' the rules of therianthroply!
When I was in middle school, this is the stuff that kids found online and either two things would happen, they’d move on thinking it was weird or it would become their whole personality. At least the tails weren’t allowed because of the dress code.
When you look at something like this, the apocalypse doesn't sound like a terrifying event, but more like a hopeful relief.
i agree

As a child, (mainly because of the The Kane Chronicles, Spirit Animals series, and the Warior cats books that I was using to learn English), I always liked cats and even tried to mimic some of the behaviors. However, that does not mean that I am a cat or wild feline. I just like the idea of hanging out with them to study their behaviors. Apparently this is how I managed to accidentally lead several stray cats into the house when I was twelve.
literally. when I was younger I would run around on all fours just because it was fun! I would pretend to be a cat or dog or whatever with my friends and it didnt make me an animal or part animal, it was just the weird kids at recess lolol
When I was in preschool me and my (best) friend (to this day) let's call her... E me and E would play a game where I would be a cat, dog, ect or she would be now we both found out we're therians
Exactly like I'm not a therian but I really like the idea of being a cat and living clan life (if you read Warriors you'll understand). These people are confusing children about what their identity is when all kids should be thinking about is barbies and glitter and toy trucks and being a good child to their parents. Smh
Omg thank you for showing love to The Kane Chronicles
Also yeah, media has turned this into an issue so yeah
(I'm late for this, but...) I pretended that I was a fox with my friends, and we were a family of foxes. It was a little disturbing, but It was fun :) (Btw, I'm not a therian.)

@Anno Kitsune 👁👄👁
I swear it was so smooth I almost forgot what kind of video I was watching 😂😂
@annokitsune.worldbridger why tf u lyin
So I saw an 8 year old girl jumping around Chinatown in London at the weekend, she had a tail and a mask and was pretending to be a fox. However she was being videoed by an adult hoping it was a family member, and she was being watched by grown up men who were taking photos. A little girl with her backside in the air and a tail being watched by adults, made me feel sick to my stomach.
Omg that poor girl...those men sound so fucking creepy
thats the issue imo, you have a group comprised of mostly children posting themselves online, theres so many groomers in the furry community and just on tik tok in general, a lot saying things like their parents don't know theyre a therian, it makes for a very easy target for groomers. all you have to do is look up therian and youll find tons of kids
Thats disgusting,Those men need to learn a lesson-
Imagine recording little kids for enjoying their own life...
wasn't there also a 9 yr old kid who got shot for being a therian or smth
Thats called quadrobics, a lot of digusting people sexualize therians for this.
It sounds like she is explaining how to set up my sims character and talking about the sims traits to me
Lol
HELP????
You need to get outside more
Or Elder Scrolls character creation
honestly, im not a therian or furry, but making the tails and stuff and doing quads is fun :) im 13, and it makes me feel alive again sometimes, just climbing around and having fun, reminds me of when i was 5 and making animal costumes and pretending to be one. it brings me back to a good time in life. though, of course i know im human because i look like one. it's just fun to pretend sometimes, it's very freeing :))
i love making suits, drawing anthro characters, and such but I don't call myself a furry due to all the disturbing things people in the community do. it hurts to see people so lost to this woke mindset :,(
@@CoralCombs-gx4rh yeah same
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that as long as you’re not getting hurt! ❤️
That’s what they should do, working quads and getting out in nature is great for you! Unfortunately, some young people think that they are actually an animal, or act different for attention
@ yes, also, wanting attention isn’t always a bad thing. It might be a signal that they aren’t getting the attention they need. And quads can help with muscular strength as well as speed and jump heights and being in nature naturally helps the mind
This reminds me of the early 2000s when I spent time taking quizzes online to find out which Harry Potter house I’d be in. Harry Potter was huge at that time, and I was genuinely interested in figuring out my correct house. However, I never thought I was *actually* a Harry Potter character, and also, I was about 10-12 at that time, not an adult.
I know!! 😅😅
to me, all of this bullshit is just irl role playing
and the wand. and the patronus. But I knew that bloody hat can take personal preference into account soo I walkthroughed my way to slytherin house.
Even then thats way better than this lol. I mean at least the houses value traits that will help you grow as a person, Like Hufflepuff being Loyal and Ravenclaw seeking knowledge. But even then, its just for fun and acts like a sort of "sports team" (which honestly some people take that way to far too lol.)

I had a friend like this in elementary school. She would wear cat ears and hiss and scratch people.
We all read the warrior cat books and each had our own “cat persona”. It was fun to me! I always had an active mind and childish role play seemed harmless.
Once we got to middle school, her and my other friends joined the art classes and created their own fursonas. I chose band, and we grew apart.
8 years later, and I believe she is now transitioning to being a male, but still identifies with the furry community. I pray for her occasionally. Hope she’s ok, and I thank God that band saved me.
I second the love for the band kids, as a fellow former band kid lol (was also an art kid, studied art in college, thankfully I have a super based family so they kept me sane and wholesome through all the crazy liberal arts bs)
Also loved the warrior books! Played pretend as a cat soooo much growing up but i always knew it wasn't real thankfully (however much I wished it was)
I get being like, "If I was in this universe, I would like to be this cat." I gave my preference for Wings of Fire (NightWing and RainWing, my two favorite dragon tribes.) But have a whole "fursona" over it is madness. One is harmless imagination, the other is delusion. Glad band saved you, I'm a theater kid, I fear for what I will see in the future lol

We do not do this for play btw. We don’t have a choice once it happens. And we can’t pretend. Just noting that.
Connection is otherhearted. Therians identity either psychologicalyy, spiritually, emotionally as an animal.
I just correct some because i don't want people to be confused :)

I’m a furry and I really like your content. To be honest I’m glad you did this video and learned that furries DONT think we’re animals. We are just regular people that like to draw and dress up as anthropomorphic animals! It’s basically just cosplaying. Most of us are very normal and not crazy perverts or anything. It’s just a bad stereotype:(
(there are some exceptions, but the furry community as a whole really is made up of normal, if not somewhat nerdy, people).
Clears up a lot for me because I never actually got why the furries were like... taboo? Fetishy? From everything I can find they just seem to be people who like to dress up and draw characters... and I can vibe with that.
Yeah there are gross people but I mean, there are R34 Pokemon artists and that doesn't make Pokemon fetishy. Idk
Yeah it's basically just cosplay! Like, people who go to comic-con dressed as Darth Vader or Wonder Women don't actually think they're the REAL Darth Vader or Wonder Women. It's fun, artistic expression for most of us. And just like every year at Comic-con there's gonna be at least one hotel room with a guy paying a Cat Women to whip him while he's tied to the bed, the Furry community has it's own unsavory pervert members. That just comes with the territory of a large, decentralized community/fandom.

It's so true what Brett said
An overwhelming amount of furries are minors from what I understand (or just act like it at least) and are also LGB or TQ. It makes sense that they'd want to find community within each other, considering that they are often picked on as children.

when you say “oh there’s no guidelines you have to have something” there is guidelines, there’s just many different types of therians. that’s like saying the lgbtq doesn’t exist because “there’s not guidelines”, yes there is and that’s like saying gay people and trans people can’t both be lgbtq because they are different. lgbtq people have sometime of sexuality or gender identity difference, and therians identify as an animal on non physical levels. there IS guidelines there are many different types.

But at the end of the day I was still a girl, I just had weird funny things that I liked to do. What happened to kids having an imagination and they wanna play and pretend there are some thing and that’s OK it’s just pretend. It’s like you pretend to be something and now that’s your whole identity. This is why our art and our entertainment has gone to shit because we can’t tell the difference now between fantasy and reality. These people on TikTok they could be amazing, artists and they are Spending their time on TikTok thinking that what they’re saying in their head is reality when they could just create great art.
Right? I think back to myself at 5 when I tried a male character named "Abner Wrinklebottom." Thank goodness I'm not a kid today, I might have been transitioned and stuck with that name😂
I know I'd be f-d. I was totally convinced for the longest time I was an elf from another dimension. LOTR coming out only made it worse. Instead I just entered the indie entertainment industry and became a writer. Which is exactly where half these people should be.

Okay but 11:42 is so valid. As a girl who has some masculine features (like being toned bc I work out a lot) my friends say I look gay- and of course there’s nothing wrong with being gay- but I’m not gay so it makes me uncomfortable to be labeled like that just because I’m strong and a bit tomboyish like Brett was talking about
its a sin to be gay or lgbt
Lesbian*
she's right at this part of the video (rare brett cooper W) you can be a tomboyish girl or a feminine boy, but being trans is not just liking things that the opposite sex stereotypically do. you can be a feminine trans boy, and a masculine trans girl!

@D-and-D-3172 Yes you did, someone in the comments said "I couldn't figure out what animal I was it took 5 years☝️🤓" and if you feel like you're born with some it would be called ✨ mental illness ✨
Furries is just a community of people who simply appreciate the creative choices of talking and/or anthro character in stories and media. And their "fursonas" are just simply their avatars/mascot. And the suits are meant to play the same role as theme parks/sports with how they use those SAME type of suits to bring their characters to life.
Yes all fandoms have their people who take things too far, but this fandom/community I feel gets too harshly judged because people automatically affiliate them with Therians, Otherkins, & Zoophiles; making the assumption that they are all one in the same when they aren't.
Furries by themselves are just an artistic/creative community.
What has this generation become hating on people simply because of an identity and a mask
It’s a mental illness or just a stupid fad.

I love drawing animals and been called a furry many times, i did like furrys when i was in middle school but not anymore. Ive been in art since 5th grade and i feel even more distant with my fellow artists. Everyone is either gay or trans or saying they identify as something different than what they appear to be, i feel like i dont belong. I love what i do and what i create but i feel very different than my peers.
Artists tend to fall into that category. As a former high school choir teacher, I saw that a lot of my students were part of the LGBT community, especially those involved in drama and art, but not all! I want to encourage you to keep pursuing your passion through art & know that there are others out there with similar interests to you that don't follow this ideology! I promise we exist ❤

1."In general, furries are individuals who say they are furries." Saying that you are a furry doesn't say what a furry is, if you want to know, a furry is someone who has an interest for anthropomorphic art styles, anthropomorphic meaning animal with human characteristics. A lot of furries tend to create an anthropomorphic character to represent themselves called a furrsona. Some furries make a cosplay of their furrsona which is called a furrsuit
2. "Therians are individuals who believe they are not completely human and instead identify as a species of non-human animal." Not exactly, Therianthropy is the non physical experience of animalistic behaviors, instincts, and/or urges, it could possibly be any animal. Otherkin being therianthropy but they identify as a animal/creature that isn't real or maybe existing in a planet other than earth.
3."I think it's a girl, I'm guessing." They are non-binary and use they/them pronouns.
4."now we're gonna skip ahead a bit." You could have missed vital information and if you watched the video before hand at least tell the viewers what they talked about.
5. "See this is the problem with every one of these weird ideology's and progressive movements is that there's no actual guide lines or definition. Nobody knows what it means, 'it can be anything its so intersection it juts means anything whatever you feel.' No that's not how it works, that's not how the world works you half to have guide lines and this video is saying 'it can be anything you want, whatever you feel, you're probably a therian just anything' " Like what I said earlier this post, your theriotype can be any animal, it is also a very specific animal, so behaviors WILL vary based off of what species your theriotype is and its personality.
6. "That's confusing people" I think it's confusing close minded people who didn't watch the full video.
7. "I'm glad this person is at least acknowledging that human beings are real and that some people might just be having human instincts" They aren't saying that you ARE a therian, the video is just explaining how you can figure out IF you are a therian
8. "I thought we where going in a good direction a good direction and now you're just muddling again and I literally have no idea what you're saying" They are saying that for example: if you crave meat "well that is a human thing cuz human are omnivorous" but if you like meat in a very specific way (like, the same way a carnivorous species would) that would be an example of a human thing in an animal way.
9. "Imagine being a parent and your a kid is like mother I identify as a fruit bat" I think the kid would provide more background and/ore details.
10. I cant even explain or decipher a good chunk of what you said because of how stretched it is 💀, also i cannot type all of this S H I T you are throwing out
11. when a therian is talking about their "home" (territory, family, etc...) that means what environment makes them most comfortable. some therians have memories about having an entire LIFE the only difference is that they are an animal. ps past life stuff

I get it if you don’t support therians but mocking them is not ok. That is their identity they can not change that. Don’t you have something better to do then make fun of people all day.
This sounds a lot like the personality test you might take for fun in junior high/middle school and either halfway agree with the results or laugh at how goofy the results were. You can change many of the results of personality tests based on your mood while taking them.

1: therianthropy is a belief and a non-physical connection to an animal, it can be spiritual or mental/psychological. There are also some therians who belief that their connection come from past lives, you can either be born therian or develop a connection to animals via different ways!
2. The most common theriotype is wolf
3. A therian is someone who believes they are an animal while also being very well aware that their human. While furries do cosplay, it's a hobby and anyone can become a furry by buying or making a fursuit. Talking about fursuits, the price is insane and we should respect furries because they have talent to make those incredible fursuits.

the "for your small furry business" during the sponsor had me dying 😂
As a therian myself, I wanted to politely point put one thing.
When Brett says,"I'm a koala therian because I like hugs." Does not mean you're a therian. Humans can like hugs too, it's in our blood to be social. If someone said," I'm a bear therian because I tend to sleep longer in winter and be overprotective of those I love." Would be better. (Thanks Thorn for the example)
Note: I'm not sure, but I think Brett left out part of the start.*
Humans also sleep longer in the winter, and are also overprotective of their kin. Humans are social animals like you said, and humans are naturally woken up by daylight, and since winter has less daylight, we sleep longer
When I was 13 (now 21), I believed that I was a wolf therian and lived life based on that belief, and I ended up getting a therian symbol tattooed on my chest. Now I am planning on getting that tattoo covered up. My experience with it, and looking back on how I felt at the time, I can say it was more so of an escape from reality and that I was living in a fantasy world. You can believe what you want, but it doesn't make it real.
Do you have a job? Who hired you?
Bruh. I'm so glad I didn't grow up in the same time when this became a thing. When I was young escapism was reading fantasy and sci fi, using my imagination to write stories, getting into character for a play or musical. Nowadays there's all this weird stuff. I can't say I relate to your experience, but you were also a kid. Glad you're past that now.
