i don’t know how to describe my rage but it pisses me off. in a conversation for ask japanese people, you see “not japanese… but…” in a conversation about east asian people, you see “not east asian but…”

i saw a post by an east asian person asking if other east asian people agree that non-east asians wanting to look like us was weird. east asian people spoke up and said it was weird. non-east asian people came along and said it wasn’t weird. they go “who cares?” the people who got called “ching-chong” and accused of dog-eating care! they only want to look east asian because it’s cool now but when real east asian people speak up they get downvoted and ignored while the non-east asian people get upvoted.

i say i’m japanese and cantonese, some talking poop debris says something like “cantonese is a regional dialect, buddy.” cantonese is a fucking ethnic group from china part of han chinese.

they think we’re so fucking weak that they can talk over us. fuck them all.

hiii! ask whatever 💞

the species dysphoria is severe. like, oh my god, i just wanna loaf and eat timothy but i can’t even digest it in this body. human teeth are so stupid and fragile and weak i can’t even have rabbit chews. i don’t even have any claws. i have to file my nails into that shape and when it’s windy (i love it but) my skin has no fur protection and i’m at the mercy of the cold and no don’t give me unwarranted advice, i’ll get a fur jacket (and no don’t tell me what to do! i’ll find my own faux fur jacket.) 😭

and then my ears are practically gone. like they’re just… out of sight… it feels uncomfortable. i’m turning my head like they’re blocking my vision but they’re just not there! and then there’s my tail. i jump like something’s going to kill me if it’s touched but it’s not even there.

(sigh) 🐇

i panicked a bit with the qualifiers, lmao. most people are not like that here but i’m still extremely disturbed from the last time i got unwarranted advice on this subreddit.

you got down this far? what are you doing here? have a strawb 🍓

i was speaking about my species dysphoria in a discussion and someone took it upon themselves to give me advice on how to “act” more like my theriotype.

what bothers me so much is that i never asked. like i personally would never ask someone how to “act” more like my theriotype. my theriotype is myself. it’s literally like asking someone to tell me how to act more like myself—which i didn’t. i never asked. yet they gave advice anyway. i spoke of wanting to have a specific kind of bone structure that’s not possible with humans. they gave a suggestion… with quads…

i’m sorry but… that just really upset me. it made me not want to talk about my theriotype anymore and share personal experiences at all knowing there’s a potential for unwarranted advice. like… i know how to walk… when my brain shifts to the perspective of my theriotype, it just comes naturally like breathing.

though other people may ask for help regarding their theriotype and quads, i’m really not one of them. like i came to share experiences and relate to others, not to take suggestions on how to act more like myself from someone who doesn’t even know who i am.

while i think they had good intentions, the suggestion just felt very off.
