its interesting to me how self-deprecation neatly ties into making others feel bad. like. if you constantly assume that you’re stupid no matter how informed or skilled in a topic you might be, people who are a bit less learned or skilled than you might see how you, someone who is obviously skilled, talk down about yourself, and assume that if you think YOURE an idiot you must think theyre an even bigger idiot and lose confidence or find you intimidating as a result. its fucked up. and its part of why it can be so important to break out of cycles of self-hatred–not just for yourself, but for people around you

be kind to kids (yes, this includes teenagers) who identify as nonhuman, otherkin, fictionkin, therian, alterhuman, or a furry. they are living their life the way that makes sense to them. they don't deserve an "i told you so" if they grow out of identifying that way later on. they don't deserve to be asked "aren't you too old for that now?" they don't deserve to be laughed at and mocked online. children forming a wolf pack aren't hurting anyone. kids who want to meet other kids who identify as nonhuman aren't embarrassing.

kids need a sense of community no matter who they are. kids deserve the right to identify their own feelings. kids are allowed to express parts of themselves adults find "embarrassing". adults are allowed to do all of these things, too, but it's become routine for folks online to mock literal children for embarrassing behavior.

identifying as an animal isn't embarrassing; what is embarrassing is being an adult and picking on literal children. who cares, it's not hurting a singular soul. let them explore identity in ways that make sense to them. identifying as nonhuman isn't a danger to anyone else. they aren't hurting themselves. let them identify as a nonhuman and explore what that means to them. let them live their lives.

OK I saw the person that shared diego from Dora that reminded them of diego reprogrammed but when I was reading reprogrammed I could only think about Diego Armando (ace attorney) who:

1) Has a cat thing going on (calls his gf kitten yes I know 💀💀💀)

2) Hispanic

3) (kind of spoilers but whatever) later wears a mask on his face that ONLY COVERS HIS EYE AREA (like the lion mask)

4) is an antagonistic character

LIKE. WHEN I READ REPROGRAMMED. DO YOU SEE. I love diego armando and I thought of him instantly for diego reprogrammed

WHY DOES THIS LOOK MORE LIKE DIEGO THAN DIEGO....
