every single one was like “yes this is completely normal for folklore but isn’t it WEIRD that game freak wrote it? also don’t worry it is NOT CANON”
never has it been more obvious that most people on the internet have never tried to create something in their lives
@Lady this analysis is inadevertent(?) furry purropawagnda
@Lady people should learn to build shrines to the half animal people they are very cruel to, in order to appease them
@aescling what does this have to do with furries
@Lady animal people facing rejection from society seems pretty furry to me
@aescling hosting massive cons with thousands of attendees is a hallmark of societal rejection
@aescling i think it’s at least a little insensitive to take something deeply rooted in japanese history and culture (and a fair bit of trauma) and then go “this is about this thing me and my white friends do as a hobby”
@Lady fair enough
the number of clickbait sites i scannef to see if they had done any amount of research before i came upon this one is depressing
