Editing Talk:Therianthropy (section)

== True facts; ==

I feel like this article doesn't describe therians very well, since therianthropy is more spiritual than physical. Please do more research on this topic to add a more true outline to the therian community and what it means. Instead on a sentence that can lead anyone to a completely different conclusions. Thanks in Advance from Forest. [[Special:Contributions/64.135.133.225|64.135.133.225]] ([[User talk:64.135.133.225|talk]]) 22:22, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

''''''some information''''''''''''

Therianthropy is an entire community and there is way too much hate that goes towards them. As a therian myself, I think that this information would be extremely helpful when new to therianthropy. Let me get one thing clear, therianthropy is not shape-shifting. Therians have "shifts" which is an impulse to behave like a non-human animal. Then ,there is quadrobics, commonly referred to as "quads". Quads is basically walking on all fours but walking, jumping, trotting, and galloping. Please remember, not all therians do quads, and not all people who do quads are therians. Therianthropy is different for everyone, quads is just another way to express yourself. there is a very common misunderstanding between therians and furrys. Therians identify as a non-human animal, furrys have a fancination with animals with human characteristics. One commonly used question is "how do you become a therian?" well, the answer is that you can't "become a therian" you're born that way and you find out later. This is called being "awakened". If you think you're a therian, ask one [if you know one] and if you don't then go do a whole bunch of research. Just a freindly reminder, don't tell everyone. Unfortunately, some people bully others for being themselves. If I got anything wrong, feel free to correct me.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/156.47.104.204|156.47.104.204]] ([[User talk:156.47.104.204#top|talk]]) 01:36, 17 December 2024 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:One minor correction, we don't identify as animals, it's more like we feel a strong connection with them [[User:Not a kitsune|Not a kitsune]] ([[User talk:Not a kitsune|talk]]) 14:24, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

::The definition of a therian is someone who identifies as a non-human animal, based off of animal-like behaviors/impulses you may have experienced. [[Special:Contributions/73.35.140.33|73.35.140.33]] ([[User talk:73.35.140.33|talk]]) 05:18, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
:::again, we don't identify as animals, we have a strong connection with a particular animal to the point where we think and act a little bit like them [[User:Not a kitsune|Not a kitsune]] ([[User talk:Not a kitsune|talk]]) 14:36, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
::::Not wanting to be rude at all, but therianthropy IS about identifying as an animal, on any level. That has always been the definition, but it has been watered down on social media, especially lately. Only having a connection to an animal, is called "otherheart". If you do not identify as an animal on any level, partially or fully, then you aren't a therian [[User:LighteningDragon|LighteningDragon]] ([[User talk:LighteningDragon|talk]]) 03:12, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::This page is a [[WP:disambiguation]], i.e., it says, effectively, that ''when experts say "therianthropy", they mean A, B, C, or D''. Therefore, discussion here might go along the lines of:
:::::::# Here is an <u>an already existing</u> Wikipedia article on the subject E that is also called "therianthropy" (see a book ... by a professor X stating so), let's add a link to E as another [[bullet point]];
:::::::# C is not therianthropy, as stated by a professor Y in his article ..., let's remove this bullet point.
:::::::Discussions on therianthropy in general are not related to this page content IMHO, as therianthropy clearly means different things to different people, thus the disambiguation here. [[User:Викидим|Викидим]] ([[User talk:Викидим|talk]]) 16:15, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

:This meaning of the word "therians" is covered in [[Otherkin]], isn't it? [[User:Викидим|Викидим]] ([[User talk:Викидим|talk]]) 00:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
::it's bearly covered and the information is wrong, and i feel that therianthropy is a topic too complex to be covered without a page of it's own. [[User:Not a kitsune|Not a kitsune]] ([[User talk:Not a kitsune|talk]]) 15:38, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
