StandardBeing

I'm not an anti alterhuman, I made zoorin because therianthropy is an identity and zoorin isn't. Of course I'm gonna separate myself?? Why would I put myself in a category I'm not apart of, if anything that would be more rude and I don't wanna appropriate a label that's already been watered down dude😭🙏

Also what gave you the idea that I'm gonna stab anyone in the back? Standardbeings and alterhumans may have a difference but we are COUSINS. I shouldn't be putting down another community that the coiner of standardbeing was Inspired by. We are basically shit from the same ASSSS. Stop accusing us of random shit, and leave otherpaws alone they literally did nothing to you.

"what's a zoorin?"

A zoorin is an involuntary experience that falls under standardbeing (an umbrella term that holds all experiences like this that can be both voluntary or involuntarily, zoorin just happens to be the part where it is involuntary)

It is someone who views themself as an animal or fictional/mythical animal in a non physical, mental, metaphorical and or spiritual level without identifying as or with the animal.

( For "beliefs/spiritual" levels it does not always contain viewing yourself as an animal in this life, sometimes its seeing/viewing yourself as an animal from a past life, or from a past life perspective. Sometimes it's even just viewing your soul as an animal, though not all zoorins are spiritual or belief-based )

CRITTERLIKE

Critterlike (like a critter) is a community and identity that encompasses the lifestyle of acting like an animal in a SFW way, be it dressing kemonomimi, using dog bowls, playing fetch, going for walks, collecting pet toys etc

New term new term! Critterlike is for anyone and everyone, so long as animal activities or dress are a part of how you present yourself! You don’t have to be alterhuman, it can even just be a hobby! Treat this as an umbrella term for furries, therians, otherpaw, kemonomimi etc

The term is specifically SFW! A lot of minors find themselves in petplay spaces when doing activities they deem innocent, because they overlap with those spaces. This term allows them to find people their own age, as well as other people doing things in a sfw way!

The softer, more pastel flag is for earthly critters! The stripes mean: warm blooded critters, sky critters, land critters, sea critters, and cold blooded critters.

The second flag is for unearthly critters, and the stripes stand for: warm blooded critters, fantasy critters, fictional critters, space critters, and cold blooded critters!

"they identify as animals" thats nice, sharon

"no but they actually think they are animals" theres a war going on, sharon

StandardBeing is someone who views themself or describes themself as something nonhuman in the non-literal, metaphorical sense, or in a way that doesn't describe them biologically or physically, they do not identify as or with said entity but rather view themself and or describe themself that way, either for fun or for other personal reasons.
