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.
What a bunch of crap, it's no such thing as a coping mechanism, it's pure mental illness, these are the same people who want to fuck real animals. It's a disgusting degenerate fetish.
Did you notice he said nothing about actually fucking an animal? Its coming out of YOUR mouth.
Everyone else on the topic i expected to behave just like you did, but they did not. This proved to me that members here are capable of rational, compassionate and understanding in the discussions surrounding this issue. I am convinced i was guided to these two threads to read and see for myself, that i am not alone with this struggle. For awhile as i read these two threads, my assumptions were proven wrong and I did consider posting a lengthy apology to JOS until i saw your shit smear. You can forget that i guess, not that i promised it in the first place.
This kind of attitude is the reason i have a difficult time talking about this problem with the community. I have written out blocks of text attempting to post a topic for help, or even just a reply and i would always abstain because of the fear of abandonment / being judged harshly. I do not like to talk about it precisely because the poisoning that the Yehuborim have done to what primarily used to be an accessory fetish is so far up to levels like LGBT and BLM that i did not have the courage to do so until now. The second reason is because it can cause inflammatory drama, i am not the one being inflammatory right now.
A long time ago, before coming to Spiritual Satanism, I spoke of this sexual problem with a native elder at length (for those who are unaware, native spirituality is what i used to look into before coming to Satan). This is what stopped me from crossing the gateway you refer to, yet i cannot help but feel i am part of the problem whenever this topic comes up and feel like it needs to be addressed with my own voice.
I have no delusions about who i am, i have no fursonna or a costume and i do not consider myself a furry at all. I appear completely normal, understand myself and need to be compassionate with myself, not feel suicidal like the other guy in the other thread. To me its like enjoying a lady who's well / professionally dressed, only in this instance (if she so desires) i would not mind her wearing anything of the floofy variety. Does that mean i want and will fuck an animal? Holy shit no.
The hatred and disgust is so strong you are blinded by the actions of the truly degenerate and think everyone related in some form or another does this, essentially turning your accusation into a big fucking lie. Which causes a lot of people to think they are irredeemable. I'm sure I wasn't the only one lurking the forums here hoping for some light on this problem. Apparently not as i can count at least 2-3 in this and the other thread. So clearly, some people need the encouragement.
I wanted to post this (at the cost of losing a lot of meditation time for the night) to show that there are some of us who are struggling with this problem. I think if a spiritual satanist is stuck deeply into this, they should get the help they need to climb out of it (if they so choose to). I do want to shed most of this fetish (especially the anthro part, its not healthy, i recognize that now) because i know it could be an obstacle to a healthy relationship with a partner / succubus / incubus down the line.
I do not wish to be associated with the dross of humanity. I do not believe i ever was, but it is very tiring to be subconsciously reminded of this possibility all the freaking time. I will correct what needs to be corrected but i will not do so in spite of other's sexual hangups, my sex game is my own and the irony of it all is the anxiety didn't set in until after i came here.
I've been dedicated for almost a year now. The replies to this thread (and the one henu linked) have lifted a lot of my anxiety. I'd like to thank most of this community for opening my eyes and encouraging me to improve myself. Thank you very much, i hate that i doubted some of you.
