I’m not going to respond with a lot of depth because I don’t think I have a good enough understanding here to be particularly helpful, but I suspect a collar would be considered as inappropriate in a school because of its strong association with BDSM practices alongside the general societal expectation that one’s sexuality is kept out of the public eye. I think that notion can also apply more broadly to the situation as a whole, at least to an outside observer.
The username is daddy’s little slut…I feel like there is more to this story, which you have certainly touched upon. There is likely more trauma and abuse here than stated.
Most definitely. I have very few memories of any of my childhood and early teens. I also grew up deeply psychopathically treated. Meeting nearly all the facets some sort of way. Now it’s even more confusing when I say or do things that are over board or like when I want to sniff my handler or lick them over their arm. Or bite them.
It’s gotten less weird but yeah 🙂↕️
That would make sense with some of the things said and done to me by my family for everything being exposed due to school… Though they got really defensive when I found my good handlers. It was saddening.
Are you under 18? And are your handlers over 18? Are you also engaging in sexual intercourse? I think people are reacting negatively because of more concern you’re being groomed when maybe you actually need therapy and support for your trauma.
You seem to recognize, in the post and some of your replies, that this is the result of trauma. It’s not some healthy part of who you are, it’s an unhealthy trauma response.
I don’t think there is anything inherently wrong with what you’re doing, but the reason why people don’t take to it well is because you’re exhibiting a mental illness.
You need psychological help more than you need to worry about people accepting this.
Can I ask the specific mental illness you mean? I am really curious why being a kemonomimi is a mental illness.
Though unless you mean everything in general because while yes this started with trauma doesn’t many things do. Such as where you live, sometimes what you eat, what people wear, religious and spiritual beliefs.
I know I have BPD and a plethora of other things but everything I’ve either seen a psychiatrist for and taking medication or worked through. Such as BPD I barely have any symptoms from it anymore. Such as trance states, extreme anxiety and emotional distress. Bipolar flow between 1-2 removing anger and irritation mainly and depression with medication. Learned to reverse my psychopathic facets. Just much more.
I am really curious why being a kemonomimi is a mental illness.
Because you’re not kemonomimi, you’re a human, they are fictional. If you were just dressing up as one for fun, or it was a kink, that would be one thing.
But this appears to be much more, you believe you are one and/or are trying to live your life as one. This is not healthy.
You mention not having money for therapy. There is evidence suggesting that therapy like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is effective even if learned through books. What is important is to learn the mental processes that matter.
Here is an approach to therapy that you could try: youtu.be/o79_gmO5ppg
Sorry if my questions sound harsh. I genuinely want to know if this could help. How do you feel about reading books? Have you done it before? Do you have a place and time to read without distractions? Would reading from a device be feasible for you?
Alright. Given that you’re interested in psychology, feel free to check these resources out: dnav.international/video-audio-resources/ dnav.international/…/DNA-V-workbook-april-15-2020…
These are introductions to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I think this one can be summed up as the old, “The nail that sticks up gets pounded down.” I don’t think it’s really any deeper than that.
Behave or exhibit yourself in a way that people don’t get, and the response from some is to just get irrationally angry and/or stupid about it. Logic does not apply.
Fear of lack of conformity and the belief of sexualization of animals, and (imo) the uncanny valley.
I also find the idea uncomfortable, but at least for the meantime, another person’s wat of life isn’t my business as long as they aren’t going out of their way to hurt people or animals. With the exception of bronies. They are terrifyingly bizarre
Speaking as a brony, yes, we are terrifyingly bizarre.
Ain’t it great? xP
No it’s not. It’s creepy and i would do my best to make sure brownies stayed away from children
That’s really interesting that the uncanny valley would come from someone with ears and tail. Also there is no sexualization of animals at all. Instead there is different types of humans and humanoid beings similar to animals and such hybrids or kemonomimi are more human normally only ears, tails, teeth and traits. While like how we see furries today. A representation of a fully anthropomorphic beings similar to an animal but intelligent life.
So it depends on where one is on the scale. Also for sure. Though only thing you may not like within the end of last part. Is protection of property and that includes handlers. So deeply protective.
Please if you have anything to add I’d love to hear. I’m intrigued mainly about the uncanny valley.
The uncanny valley is a sensation of another entity being close to human, but also have the feeling they aren’t human. We have identified humans as former primates with ears in the middle parts of our heads, shortness of fur or hair, and no tail. Meaning things that aren’t natural traits for a human that an individual accepts as a normal trait, that individual could be considered uncanny, but off.
I know there’s no sexualization of animals, but that is not a widespread belief. Many people will mentally categorize you as furries, which is also something I currently find uncomfortable, but that’s my personal problem, and they are doing nothing wrong in doing what they do. Neither are you
Ultimately my opinion on the outside looking in is this; people who try and convince you to not have the lifestyle you do cares about you and is concerned about you not fitting into society. At that point, it’s your job to prove them wrong without losing yourself or their care. They fear that you won’t fit into current society. However current society changes all the time. Ask any minority demographic that is put into the category of “lifestyle” and I feel they’ll tell you the same.

Can I ask why you specifically said this? I don’t know the meaning behind it but of what I’ve heard normally sarcasm?
weariedfae@lemmy.world 6 months ago
They mean your post is poorly written and hard to parse.
