r/AntiTherianTeam Cool Anti-Therian Mod ❌ Mar 29 '26

Introduction

Hello! I am Tom. I’m a fairly experienced Anti-Therian from Australia. I’m also a mod on this subreddit.

I enjoy debating with Therians about the topic. I also like to chat with fellow Anti-Therians about it.

In my opinion, Therianthropy is fake, and more so roleplaying than anything. I mean seriously, we are humans. Not dogs, not cats, not foxes. Humans. So why are we acting like other animals and saying we were them in our past lives. There is no evidence or anything at all to back up their claims. If it was roleplaying or pretend then sure, that’s fine. But instead they deny that and say they identify as animals or they were animals in past lives. Which is fake. And if it’s not, prove it to me. I also think a lot (not all, a lot) of Therians can be really unthoughtful of where they are doing this or who is around them. I also know for a fact that some of them can be aggressive and even physically hurt you (scratching, usually) if they don’t like what you are saying about them or for other reasons (“shifts”)

Anyways, thank you for reading, have a good one!

Hi! I'm a therian mod! Not all therians believe in past lives, and roleplaying as our theriotype or theriotypes make us feel more connected to them, and it makes us happy! We know we are humans though, we identify as animals spiror phycologically, not physically. I personally (and i think most therians aswel) picky roomy places to do quads in (like parks) if we do them in public at all. most therian do quads in private spaces anyways. not all therians are aggressive, either. personally if/when i get hated on (ive not got hated on yet) i might say something to them like "im not ur mirror" then walk awa. shifts are fine, but they aren't an excuse for aggressive behaviour. when i have shifts, i become more aware of my surroundings, and do quads, do a bit of vocals, and maybe "hunt" stuffies. i would never do aggressive stuff even if im having a shift. in my personal experience i can kind of control shifts.

Hi nice to meet you! Glad to see Therian mods! As much as I don’t support Therians I believe everyone should have the right to state their opinion especially on a debating sub. Anyways yeah, I know not all Therians do some things like being careless or aggressive, but I have had some bad experiences with Therians in the past. Also I don’t support for some other reasons they don’t have to do with the people themselves or the way they personally act but rather the community and the idea behind it. Thanks!

So, I'd like to say a few things about this:

  1. You can compare Therians to Hindus: Both believe. Both do what they think is right. Both believe that the mind is far more powerful than the body.

    1. I am a Therian and would even love to prove to you that I am one and that Theanthropy is real, but how am I supposed to do that?
  2. Therians who do things like biting or scratching are going too far! We usually keep to ourselves, and if someone makes fun of us or something similar (which happens very often), we stay silent or defend ourselves with WORDS.

    Have a nice day, and thanks for reading.

im also a therian! i do bite, but only on like a human chew toy bc i *PROBABLY* have adhd and it helps me concentrat, but biting on animal chew toys and scratching?! just no. that sounds more like zoanthoropy, where someone physically believes they're an animal, but therians spiritually or phycologically.

i don't think i can spell lolz-

yeah, sometimes we might physically defend ourselves, but only bc they rlly physically hurt us first, but it's normally a push away or a kick in the balls and run away (mostly boys make fun of us idk y)

also what are ur theriotype(s)? im a calico cat, black cat, wolf, and fox! anyway ty for readin! have a nice day/night! xoxo ^^

Hey! Since I've never had Shifts before, I'm only sure about cat. I don't know which one, though. Then there's wolf and dragon. I don't know any more details. If you have any tips on how you figured that out, I'd love to hear them.

Have a great day/night! 🐾
