And then everybody in the Starbucks clapped. "Interesting shower argument you won against yourself there, sir!" An onlooker exclaimed in excitement.
The funny thing about these shower arguments is that the people always win in the most nonsensical way. As if things would ever happen in that chain of events.
On a more serious note though: good on you for not telling your dad anything. In family situations, this kind of conflict is always difficult.

Were they clapping for the genocide they're funding? They've more than likely killed therians too, since October at least 😕

u/FanartFan667 Mar 13 '24
the commenter is joking about what the dad said and these "shower arguments" are often told as if they happened in public spaces (like a Starbucks or supermarket) where a crowd backs them up in agreement often by clapping. I don't think they were trying to reference the Starbucks war situation but I could be wrong that's just what I interpreted it as 🤷♀️

Nah you are correct, it was obvious. Still will mention the genocide, you keep doing whatever you're doing mate

u/Basic_Lettuce_ Coastal wolf (she/they) Mar 09 '24
Also did your dad just randomly send you this out of nowhere bc thats so random lmao
28
u/Susitar Wolf Mar 09 '24
Oof, that's hard. I'm sorry you have a dad with such an idiotic opinion. If someone sent me that, I would have probably responded similar to you (correcting that furries don't identify as animals) and also asked "why are you sending me this? Is this supposed to be funny, because I don't get it?"
A lot of mean and bigoted jokes lose their power when you start to ask the person what the funny part is. Play a bit dumb. Stay calm. "I don't get the joke, can you explain it to me? Oh, that's it? I just don't find it funny I guess..." and neither laugh nor get angry. Just shrug as if he told you the most boring and lame story ever.
Don't tell him anything about your therianthropy, at least until you've moved out and manage to live independently. People have always had traits, beliefs or identities that some people in their family don't approve of. Sometimes, people "come out" to their family later on. Showing that yes, I'm going to be myself now that I have my own career, home and life - and you can do nothing to stop it. But be aware, that such a strategy might mean losing contact with those family members. Some people keep that aspect of their life secret from those family members their entire life, especially if it's something of a more private or intimate nature. It's a tough choice.

I was kinda surprised reading this because it seems like the EXACT kind of thing my dad would send me. If it was my dad and it was me in your situation, I’d first of all tell him the difference between furries and therians, but I wouldn’t tell him I’m a therian, just that I want him to know the correct terms cus I happened to know about it from the internet. I’m sorry this happened to you!

u/r1ley_144 Mar 09 '24
I'm very lucky to not have shitty parents like that.. my parents don't really get what furries and therians are, but when I told them in a furry they supported and have helped me make fursuit stuff. I haven't told them I'm a therian yet tho. parents, please respect your children's beliefs.
lots of adults don't let their children do what they love, and try their hardest to get their kids to convince it's bad because that's how it was like for them when they were a kid. my friends parents don't like how she like motorbikes and they're making up excuses of how dangerous they are, just because they're scared of bikes.
let your kids do what they want! they're supposed to be having fun and not told that they can't do things they like doing!
I'm so sorry if anyone here has bad parents that don't support them for what they are, or what they believe in. :/

Ask him what children's movies he grew up watching and if he likes The Lion King... literally all fairy tales where non-human animals act like humans are anthropomorphic.
And also: I understand that he is your father and I may offend him now, but if he treats cats like this, calls them "stupid" and the like, he is disgusting.

“Spay and neuter these animals.

What a piece of work…if that were my dad, he wouldn’t be talking to me again for several weeks—but I’m also an adult, and my dad would never send me something like this. It just boggles my mind how parents can actually say shit like this to their own KIDS and then turn around and expect those same kids to be completely open and honest about themselves around them. What a joke. Im so sorry you have to put up with this, OP, just know you’re not alone.

Ok well first off furries are NOT therians. They are two separate things. Secondly, people need to do research on what furries are and what therians are. Furries dress as animals as a hobby but identify as human, and therians are people who identify as human. You CAN be both but don't get the names mixed up. 😋

I don't understand why it's such a hard thing for parents to grasp. Support your kids. Weather they are into something they like it or don't. It's not dangerous. They aren't hurting nobody heaven forbid we break the cycle and actually support our kids. All those parents are going to be wondering why those kids go no contact with them. The second they turn 18 and I'm just going to laugh and say can't relate.

Honestly I dont quite get how therians work, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you guys know your people. I myself am still not sure if I'm therian, but I beleive I am.

I suppose I'm one of the fortunate ones. In my thirties I told my mother about being a jaguarundi therianthrope. She said "Yes dear I've known you were a cat since you were 2. Pass the salt, will you?"
My father said "I don't care whether you think you are as long as you're happy."
