If you honestly don't understand the difference between following an established, several-thousand-year-old religion and believing you're literally a tiger, no amount of Internet arguing can save you now.

So a belief becomes less ridiculous if it's old and popular?

And even better, thinking that old and popular ridiculous beliefs are still ridiculous puts you "beyond saving"?

It's groupthink, basically. Both are essentially the same level of stupid, but otherkin don't have the same emotional and social supports that make their delusions slightly less dumb. It's like the stupidest religion in the world, ramped up to 11.

Thank you!

People have believed they have animal spirits for possibly longer than the 'several-thousand-year-old religion' you're talking about has been around.

Just a thought, if that's your metric for authenticity.

Very true. I'm actually kind of disturbed by the number of people here, willing to write off the idea of people with animal souls as some new trendy, aren't I special, thing, or as mental illness. I guess it tells me that most people here aren't well-versed in much of anything outside of the Judeo-Christian realm when it comes to religion.

My issue with the secret isn't that OP thinks they've got a wolf soul, but that they equate that with the media's treatment of werewolves. Werewolves aren't humans with the soul of a wolf, they're something human-like that physically transforms into a wolf-like creature. They are creatures of myth and legend. It's not the same thing, and I think it's ridiculous to think that we should change that basis that werewolves in media draws on to protect the sensitivities of a group of people who might be sort of like the legend, because their soul is animal.

I'm sorry, but as someone who wasn't raised with religion at all, I don't see how they're that different. What I do understand is that people attach value to their culture, which can include religious tradition. But when it comes to the actual faith that people have in their higher powers, it's just something I can't even comprehend.
