As far as I can tell my current fandom uses hybrid to mean "furry" and I wish they'd just call them furries, because then I don't have to worry about what their parents were having sex with.

I read a “shifters” book where no one ever fucking shifts, so a “cat shifter” is functionally just a catboy. I feel your fucking pain.

But isn’t “shifter” usually intrinsically linked to “shape-shifter”, implying that a creature shifts from one for to the other?

I’m not involved in any of these kink (or interest?) communities, just curious about the linguistics.

I would have agreed with you, but the book keeps calling them “shifters,” and it’s never so much as hinted they can shift!

Very odd!

Oh man, when I first read your comment, I thought you meant the fans' parents not the characters'.

I guess I always assumed they were some weird lab experiment.

ayrt as far as I can tell sometimes they are, and sometimes their parents are also the same kind of "hybrid" so it's clearly just a fantasy race/species of anthro, and sometimes there's some kind of curse/mutation or they're shifters who prefer a partial shift or it's just really dramatic elective body mods. One of them canonically got his human ears replaced by dog ears after a horrible barbershop mishap, one of them canonically was changed by a god due to hubris, but most of them there's no canon explanation and it's all fanon (As is the term "hybrid"). But when it's totally unspecified my brain always jumps to hybrid in the same way that Spock was a hybrid... which works a lot better mentally when they're an elf hybrid than when they're a sheep hybrid.
