Normal Joes and Janes are going to be a minority in the Fandom.
No, Not really been to cons, meet, and interacted with the fandom online. If we didn't mention it you wouldn't be able to tell. Normal people are the majority.
This is because the Fandom doesn’t really offer anything that normal people need, or want.
I can think of a few community, expression, fun, social club, art.
What is normal?
What even is normal?
A normal person likes himself/herself based on the truth.
Truth reality and what evidence shows.
A normal person remains normal because he/she partakes in person-building, and become good at following their consciences.
OK? But what's this have to do with fandom?
Before I get into the mental illness aspect, I want to address the primary factor that leads people into becoming Furries; acceptance.
That is a common reason people join any social group, cult, gang or religion
When you are not your own best friend, because you have no good reasons to like yourself, the standards for your friendships become low; you will befriend anyone who accepts you. And unfortunately, this acceptance is often like a spider web, and the one needing the acceptance is not the spider.
True this is why religion targets variable individuals.
However, here is the problem: this acceptance is an unhealthy shortcut for the socially awkward. Whoever you are, self-esteem and self-worth, as well as a valid worth to others (which EVERYONE has), is critical to wellbeing.
True and while furry can help it is best to seek professional help.
Curiously, among those in the Furry sect, a popular verbal slight is to tell someone to kill themselves
This is a common insult on the internet in general shitty but common.
The first reason that introducing children into this movement is detrimental follows: they are being taught to forfeit their self-esteem by people who have already done so and to abandon person-building.
My church life in a nutshell.
It is apparent that when you are investing in a make-believe character, you are not investing in the real you.
ಠ_ಠ
Do I have to say it?In fact, Furries would suggest that Furism is a way to “discover yourself.”*
- furryism is now a real word
- I can see that, not really an issue.
That's more religion* studies have shown that religious children have a hard time telling fantasy from reality. I understood magic was not real as a child and that Harry Potter was fantasy. However many prests believe its a gateway to witchcraft. So... Who has the better grip on reality?
If you are, say, Lucky the Racoon who has superpowers and has found the epitome of “love” in the Furry community, what do you need school for?
Wut?
This isn’t dressing up for a Halloween party once a year; this is encouraging children to dwell in a contra-reality that is supposedly more valid and valuable than normative reality.
Again Wut?
The very definition of mental illness follows: it is an inability to deal with, or cope with reality.
Religion basically
Guilt leads to all kinds of fear, and fear/anxiety is present in EVERY mental illness.
Christianity is all about guilt. You are a worthless sinner that needs Jesus. Kinda like an abusive relationship
Is the point being made here that people become Furries as an alternative to dealing with personal guilt? ABSOLUTELY Other than the acceptance factor, this is the second most significant purpose for becoming a Furry. And, of course, guilty people don’t like themselves very much which speaks to the self-esteem issue.
...WUT?
This video has over a million views in less than one year.
He acts like this is a rare thing (on the internet that's not really impressive anymore)
This guy really linked Wikihow articles. Can't make that up.
