@spacefinner @lalah I originally discovered otherkin and therians back in the very early 2000's and - at least back then - many of us didn't have a strong empathy with cartoons either, at least in the community I fell into. The empathy with cartoon characters that leads to or awakens non-human thoughts and beliefs is a bit more of a modern thing, I think.

@spacefinner @lalah Though to be fair, it's been really nice to see more and more furries not only become aware of therianthropy, but also awaken to the possibility that their character is more than just a character. I remember back in the day there was almost animosity between the two communities so seeing the Fandom openly embrace therianthropy has been quite refreshing, honestly.
