If you tell a fib to get out of participating in society for 10+ years, then there might be more to it than just laziness. No one but a psychiatrist can say for sure, and I'm not a psychiatrist. That said, I wouldn't bet money against it.

Absolute Lithops posted:I think that's part of what makes it sound like she's mentally ill. That, and her extreme selfishness. Some mental illnesses involve a combination of selfishness and attention-seeking behavior. And her refusal to clean herself and her room doesn't make a good case for her mental health, either. It also doesn't make the rage she generates any less legitimate, which I think is important to consider. It's easy to say "Oh it's not really her fault so we shouldn't be angry", but that's really only going to poison you emotionally. Yes, she's obviously mentally ill. And yes, that mental illness is probably the root cause of her incredible narcissism, delusions, and other intolerable behavior. But it's okay to be enraged by that.

So I'm definitely not saying that people should ever tolerate that kind of behavior, or that it's wrong to feel angry at the person who does it. It's just that there's a lot of room between "why does she choose to be such a dumb lazy bitch" and "she's mentally ill so I have to put up with all the horrible poo poo she does."

Ask me about studying law with a girl who thinks she's married to Sai Baba Previously: The Girl in the Sari A Note on Henriette Phantom in Honolulu The Girl who Thinks She's Married to Sai Baba & Part 2 The Thespian Society Interlude 1: Raja Discovers Blogging --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One more interlude. I had planned to put this up after a Henriette entry, but I met up with one half of Lisa Lisa in the weekend, who told me something I wasn't aware about Henriette and Shini. Instead, let's have some Jake Long, American Dragon and everyone's favourite people, loving furries. Interlude: Le Fursécution! This is a story I have first brought up in the previous PYF Troper Tales thread. I have rewritten it because I discovered my old private journal had chatlogs and forum quotes (I was both a gently caress and sharing it with online friends - yes I had a real life why do you ask?), with a little intro in respect of Jake Long, American Dragon. When I first met Jake Long, American Dragon, I did not think much of him other than him being a little awkward. We chatted a little here and there when the Law Society had stuff to deal with the Thespian Society. Ultimately at one point I needed something from him on the Thespian Society, so I went to his dorm room. There wasn’t anything weird about his place, but his laptop was a completely different story. Firstly, his internet browser was on, and the open tab I saw was a particular forum (detailed later in this post). Another tab seemed to be a fan forum of the cartoon Jake Long, American Dragon Secondly, this was his desktop. Sorry about the size, I could not find a larger one: Dude put up the drawing of his own furry character as his desktop background. Not much of a big deal for a… furry, I guess. But! Let me show you what was on the desktop. Here’s a lovely recreation done with a finger on the iPad: A yiff folder. A YIFF FOLDER. I feigned ignorance, got the Thespian Society thing done, made an excuse and went out double quick. Other than the online friends I hung out with (who were not in Malaysia) I never told anyone. Not that it mattered, since everyone would find out eventually in the then near future. One of my online friends did some Internet Detective poo poo on him, and found the forums he posted on. Apparently Jake Long, American Dragon (the furry) was into Jake Long, American Dragon (the cartoon character) in a rather… sexual way. She also found a post, which is as follows: Jake Long, American Dragon posted:What is Furry to you? Being a furry is very important y’all Jake Long, American Dragon plays an interesting part later in the Bollywood film. For now, let’s talk about that forum he posted on. This forum was started by a bunch of Malaysian college kids called, ha ha, Anthro Asia. Yes, it was a loving furry forum. Anthro Asia was an exclusive website which required invitations to join, but somehow, all posts were public. Anyway, for one reason or another I got invited to Anthro Asia by some college kid, Ross. I told Ross I was not a furry but he blanked that out and told me I would have a good time talking to “like-minded people”. Right. They did not explicitly state that the forum was furry but instead, an “anthropomorphic community”. I was no furry, so I did the next best thing. I signed up as Swamp Thing. When I did my first post, I wrote this: Swamp Thing posted:I'm using Opera because the stages in opera houses are made of wood I apparently nearly got banned for that awful joke. Furries Some Malaysian furry, in a thread complaining about that CSI episode posted:
A private conversation between me and a mod, who IM’ed me in respect of the above posted:: I really suggest bringing in more seriousness into the forums. and lessen the humour though.. A Mod PM to me, after I wrote FISH ARE BOOTILICIOUS in a thread on “which animal do you think is hot” posted:Swamp Thing, I was questioned more than a few times why I decided not to become a furry anymore (I was NEVER one), so I just said I was more attuned to The Green and that I have come to believe that the bog is the source of all life on this earth. Sometimes I told them I was actually not human, but a plant who once believed he was human, and now have come to peace with it and would like to go online to find a Swamp Wife. These answers appeared to piss them off and they stopped bothering me. Anyway, I was sharing dumb posts (including one on how hot Boxer of Animal Farm was ) with the same bunch of online friends, one of whom posted a quote in their livejournal. Ross and the other mods saw my friend’s post and panicked. They hid the forum from public view, then put me on skype for an online group interrogation . They asked me why I became a mole, why I betrayed the furry cause and so on. They also combed through my friends list on livejournal, and asked me individually any person whose name they found suspicious. They banned me soon after, then wiped out every single one of my post and reference to Swamp Thing. Anticlimatically, Jake Long, American Dragon was very quiet then on Anthro Asia and never knew who Swamp Thing was. I actually only found out he was a furry after being banned. Years pass and earlier in April, I met up with a bunch of friends for movies, and it turned out that Ross and I had a mutual friend. She invited both of us, and Ross was loving furious when he saw me. He called me a troll the whole night and his behaviour was the only reason I recalled Anthro Asia. I bought him a drink and he didn’t even say thanks. Furries The Saddest Rhino fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Nov 7, 2011 |

Threads like this always make me so sad. I remember being this lonely as a kid in high school, when I reached college I hit this breaking point where I was like 'god damnit, I want to be as social a person in real life as I am on the god drat internet!' I spent months and months breaking out of my shell and being dragged out of the house and trying as hard as humanly possible to become socially well-adjusted. And it worked! I have a lot of friends now, I go out a lot.. Sometimes I still ramble about videogames but at least it's only with friends who also play videogames. I always felt it was one of those things that could be explained with Goffman or Durkheim's analyses of how people fit into social roles. Goffman would speak about the performance being distorted, caught up in the past-tense reconcilliation of the self how one constantly reinterprets their own actions after they are being performed to justify them. Durkheim I would say has similar roots in the notion of anomie where feelings of alienation of dissatisfaction with the given social enviornment detaches one from the standard sets of rules and behaviours that are innovative in that they are new ways of thinking of oneself to give ones life a sense of meaning. I'm playing very loosely with these terms but there's not a whole hell of a lot written in sociology about being a loving otherkin okay. Rei_ fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Nov 7, 2011 |

uglynoodles posted:NO THIS IS MY THREAD AND I DEMAND ALL THE GLORY of course other people can share stories! I certainly am interested in people with similar experiences, what they went through, why they stuck around, similarities, differences, and what they learned. Since this was OK'd a while back, I thought I'd jump in with one of my own. A Little Back story Back in the early days of the internet - around 1998 or so - I was in the 8th grade and just starting to get into 'making friends' online. I was into art, and joined 'Elfwood' to post my little doodles. Through there, I met a bunch of other people and we were sort of an online clique. One of them, I'll call her Jane, lived only two hours away from me, and was just a few years older than myself (I was 16, she was 18 or 19). We became very good friends - we were both very creative, loved to draw and make little characters and were both into games and such. Jane was very into anime, and at the time she was writing a story/novel that seemed to have a lot of anime-ish and otherkin/furry themes. And, of course, She (as an anthropomorphic horse) was the starring character! I had read quite a lot of it before I ever met her face to face, and didn't really think too much about it - I knew most her 'characters' by name from the story though, just from having read it. You were raped by what? So, anyway, cue our first time meeting. I had a marching band contest, and Jane came to it and we went to dinner after. She was hard to miss - she wore her hair up in that silly Japanese double-bun style with a silly Asian top - they quintessential otaku. In the car, she kept muttering and talking to herself, saying things like 'Oh, I didn't sleep last night, Janus wouldn't let me sleep.' and so on... Janus being the villain character in her story - he's also a vampire AND a werewolf, but I'll get to that in a later story. At that I was sort of 'Eh, whatever, maybe she just was thinking a lot about something for her story.' and put it out of my mind. But then we get to talking, and Jane starts telling me about how sometimes at night her characters come to her and won't leave her alone. And how sometimes they molest and rape her. Little 16-year-old me was completely stunned at this, I had no idea what to say. I remember asking her if she meant for real, like... her characters and she wasn't just imagining it was them when it was someone real-real, like she and I were real. But no, she insisted that her characters - her character's spirits - would come to her at night for sex. That they would keep her up all night, in fact, for it. As a bonus, here's an artwork of hers that I found, of her 'character' in the novels that she was writing. modedit: removed pic & changed name at weirdo request For the record, I don't want to hijack this thread but I feel like these stories fit the theme well enough. I have loads and loads more - I was friends with this person for over 10 years before after a final confrontation I decided to cease all contact with her. I'll add more anecdotes as I can - but for now, I hope this little one is enjoyable. Somebody fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Nov 11, 2011 |

The first name on his list? Drizzt. To my knowledge his wife did not object, but he eventually had to change his decision because the baby was a girl. Never did find out what her name turned out to be.

That, and there was nothing wrong with encouraging greater kinship with the natural world. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that they meant they felt bonded to cartoon wolves, probably had no desire to see a real one outside of a zoo, and would do nothing but complain about the bugs and the weather if they were out in 'nature'. They really do misrepresent themselves even if you leave out the whole "yiff" thing.

What is it with these people and being raped by ghosts? I lived in a dorm with this girl (not my roommate, just on my hall thank god) who didn't really know me that well but would stand in my doorway as I went into my room and would tell me about her roleplay characters. You know, their family histories, what they did last night, etc. She would talk without breathing for a solid 40 minutes and I am one of those people who is really bad at telling people that I would like for them to stop talking so I can go in my dang room. Even if I tried to say that I had something to do she'd keep talking about her Naruto-ripoff RP characters so I just sort of let it happen to see how crazy it would get. This was pretty much our only interaction at all, and she did this maybe 3 or 4 times. Then, suddenly one day in the stairwell, she mentioned something about how she missed her morning class. She proceeded to tell me that she missed it because there is this (male) ghost that haunts her and he sometimes forces her down and keeps her in her bed. She didn't say that he raped her but I'm pretty sure that's what she was implying. A normal person would say "it's probably sleep paralysis and she just doesn't know that". Well, she had accounted for that. She insisted that it was different from sleep paralysis and that it was this male ghost and he would talk to her and hold her down in her bed for hours. I barely know her and yet she stops me in the stairwell to tell me about her ghost experiences, with that tone of voice that makes it sound like "oh, it's no big deal, there's just this ghost, that's not a weird thing to tell someone we all understand and acknowledge that ghosts do this all the time right???" Why is this the thing that they go for? Why is it always raped by ghosts? edit: I don't have any other stories about this girl, but thinking back I remembered another story similar to this topic. When I was in maybe 4th grade I rode the bus to school. There was an older girl (I believe she was in about 6th grade) who convinced my friend and I that she could go to a different, magical universe. This basically amounted to her closing her eyes and ignoring us for a few minutes, then opening them when she was "back". She'd tell us all about the people that lived there and whatnot, and we always begged for her to take us with her. She'd always explain reasons why we couldn't go, but maybe one day she'd be able to take us. I don't remember any of the details, but it was similar to the "all the fictional stuff in our world exists there but it's real" idea. I always looked back on it as her just entertaining a couple of kids on the bus, but after this topic I wonder if she actually believed all this herself. She might have actually been nuts and I just never thought of it that way. GidgetNomates fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Nov 7, 2011 |
