being in therian comms for 10 years is so weird

because of therianthropy blowing up on tiktok, it's just so crazy that now therianthropy is common enough that "therian gear" is in hot topic and in SEO slop keywords, also to appear in Spanish speaking news to the point young therians are/were getting harassed (which I think most therians expected something like that to happen, just not in the way it did and with as much ageism behind it)

also how when we were new to the community, we were almost always the youngest in therian communities because most young therians were turned away from the grilling culture, and now we feel like we're the oldest in a lot of therianthropy spaces
