Hello, and greetings I am a furry I identify as an anthropomorphic female triceratops. I'm also in a lesbian relationship with another female furry who identifies as a cat. So I got bored and decided to ask what you Satanists think of furries, and the furry community.
So let me ask what you Satanists think of us furries and our community?
Cats are pretty cute and relatable sometimes. In some cultures the word "kitten" can even be used to hit on someone, although not everyone may be keen on that.
I heard Lady Bastet also appears as a cat or "cat-like" astrally, although I'm not sure that's related.
As for furryism in general, it seems like some kind of escapism. There's nothing wrong with some cat ears or one of those Playboy bunny outfits to spice things up, but I think that once you start to conceal your face and your race, deep down you start to lose sight of yourself. I understand that the animals you identify with are like allegories for your personality, but isn't the way to be truly free to realise that you can be true to yourself even as a human?
I think it's good to try to escape from a situation you don't like, but being human isn't something to escape from. It is truly a privilege to be one. Isn't it the expectations of others that you really want to escape from? When it comes down to it, you just want to be yourself, don't you?
I think furryism, at its core, is primarily a coping mechanism. By hiding behind a costume or character, furries detach their actions from their inner self, which makes them feel more free in how they express themselves. But that's not true freedom. True freedom is to take off the mask and stand proud in the face of others, knowing that it's your right to exist and do what you believe is right deep down. You don't have to be a triceratops for that.
That's just my thoughts on the topic though. What you do is really none of my business.
