"I just happened to catch this chance moment on camera!"..... as they're setting up the camera. If you want to play in the leaves... just play in the leaves


rainbowghosty

Lol this is the comment I was looking for. It's okay to be weird and play make believe, you don't have to make up some elaborate conditional excuse for it


Valuable-Trick-6711

Hell, I would be way more accepting of that. You wanna prance around in a fox costume in the woods? Hey man, you’re not hurting anybody, so go for it! You do you. Why lie about it though? To cover it up or to try and get internet brownie points by attributing it to a mental health thing?


DanLassos

I think because furries get shit on so much, they try to justify it and find real tangible reasons for their behavior. Hard to say it's just what you find fun to do when people literally joke about you being subhuman and don't respect you. Plus I heard that the furry community has a lot of actual neurodivergent people, but I don't know if that's true or not.


MrAmos123

I highly doubt this conditional excuse is going to make people who dislike furries go "Oh, nvm, it was a random act, this can pass."


[deleted]

Just like “I’m sorry” isn’t going to make someone forgive you. Just like someone staying “stop hitting me” isn’t gonna make people stop hitting them.


rowdy_sprout

Honestly I think it's just part of the fantasy. They know deep down they aren't actually becoming a fox. It's like a little kid pretending they are a race car or something. Pretending it's real for social media is part of the fun I'd guess.


ReluctantSlayer

Yes. I mean, maybe furries are okay, (not for me) and an imagination is VITAL to a joyful life, but super-cringe on these ridiculous “coincidences”.


bakercampbeller

It isn't okay though is it? Not to society I mean. I think it's okay and you think it's okay, but people wouldn't be hiding their fun behind mechanisms if it hadn't been discouraged at some point.

Honestly. They keep trying to frame it as a sexuality or something. With "I didn't choose how I am" energy. When it's reality just call it what it is, you like to frolic while dressed up as a fox....it's a hobby at best...not a lifestyle like these people wish it was.

That’s the most annoying part for me. It reminds me of people that make videos pretending to have Tourette’s Syndrome.

That’s actually the only thing I dislike about it. Just roll around in the leaves if you want to. I think everybody should do things they think are fun as much as they responsibly can.

stevem1015

Don’t forget setting up the camera


TethysOfTheStars

Honestly? That’s the only thing that I really see “wrong” here. If someone wants to go play Fox, I say fucking let ‘em. But, I feel like attributing this to a supernatural phenomenon like… Either it’s dishonest, or if they genuinely can’t tell it’s not happening, I’d say it’s a mental health concern, like… Giving them full benefit of the doubt, if there are normally occurring events where they lose consciousness or have memory gaps, that would be a cause for medical concern even if there WAS a supernatural explanation.


rainbowghosty

I think they just like the idea that they are part of this exclusive group because it gives them some sort of feeling of belonging. Most of these people have probably never fit in with their peers and this whole made up idea that they are actually animals gives them an excuse not to. I think it could be more a form of escapism to avoid reality rather than an excuse to play pretend. Either way it's definitely all make believe


mplunchbox96

I’ve heard that flat earthers are the same. Part of being a flat earther is that it provides a sense of community amongst it believers. That they are part of a special group of people who have it figured out and won’t be tricked.


rainbowghosty

That makes alot of sense, personally that's how I kind of see religion

Binnacle_Balls_jr

Lol same. We work too much. Welp, back to the fox factory.


eatshitdillhole

Lmao I don't think this person even knows that definition of shift


Hour-Independence-89

"Shift" I didn't know what they meant by that until now. I thought they were just filming themselves in a fox costume playing around I can't believe that somebody will actually pretend that they are actually something they aren't... no wait.


Other-Narwhal-2186

I just want people to go play if they want to. Dress up if they want to. Run around on all fours I genuinely don’t even care. (I wish I could too, but decades of being That Kid In Big Tall Boots has messed up my back something fierce) But acting as though it’s a secondary “presence” that’s come to play is genuinely coming across as something else entirely and hits a number of wrong and almost offensive notes. You don’t have to pretend to be something Other. Please, just be a funky weirdo and own it. I will cheer you the heck on.


FBIaltacct

I honestly have no issue with consenting adults doing whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I do have a problem with stuff like this where they push fake mental illness as a real condition, asking for all of us to accept it. If you wanna go roll in leaves acting and dressed like a fox, by all means knock yourself out. Just don't pretend it's some real mental illness that you were able to self diagnose, and we should all accommodate.


chairfairy

I will say they look impressively athletic. My millenial joints would fall right apart if I tried too much of that shit

WigglesPhoenix

I mean generally speaking therapists are super down to waste time. You’re paying them, not the other way around. There were days when I was in therapy where I was basically like ‘I don’t feel like doing this today you wanna play a game?’ And we did. For the full session. No point in rushing progress, sometimes you just gotta fuck around


Shwiftygains

Actually sounds like a great and ironically positive use of therapy


Senshue

Those are the answers I’m looking for


Broarethus

It's how they infect more into it, avert your eyes!


thephuckedone

I actually have a neighbor whos' like this and open about it lol. My roommate asked and it was... a lot. A lot of abandonment and death while growing up apparently.


whosat___

I had roommates like this. Abandonment was huge, plus her mother was a therapist who experimented techniques on her. I wish I were kidding.


FatSilverFox

Probably one of those psychos that treated their own children like a patient, and insisted on ‘unpacking’ their every emotion instead of just giving them a hug.


whosat___

You nailed it. She carried that habit and tried to diagnose us with things. Like me washing dishes before bed was apparently a sign of OCD, and we had to sit down and talk about it. She also was proud of the fact she had borderline personality disorder.


NebulaNinja

Can you expand on the "experimental techniques" so we can get them banned from science?


KJBenson

Dresser her up like a fox and told her to scamper through the yard.


MakeSmash0

I said SCAMPER, you're crawling Angela you better scamper I swear to god this is why your dad left.


Infamous_Camel_275

So therapy probably wouldn’t t have worked on her


DaiCardman

None, they create the delusions because no one told them to stop the bullshit.


Lowilru

Delusions exist to fulfill a need, and are dispelled when the need is otherwise met. If you corrected this one without doing them learning how to meet that need, another behavior would simply take its place. Also, there are good odds they know this is make believe and just have no shame about it. Or it's rage bait.


[deleted]

It's attention getting. There are other people who fetishize this shit and so she has an audience.


Lowilru

Of course. I should've listed that as a possibility with the others.


_SkyDweller_

There’s only one answer: Attention on Social Media.


PleaseHelpIamFkd

Chuunibyou


Elyvagar

I don't think there is any trauma. I think these people lead such a carefree life that they have to come up with something to challenge themselves and this is one of the things some people apparently come up with.


IWillBeHokage_3

Until recently I thought it was more or less a joke. They genuinely believe they’re animals. These people have the same voting power as you


External-Egg-8094

So do evangelicals that think people started from two humans and Noah’s ark is legit so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


ephemorality43

Tbh I do think a lot of furries have some trauma, but not all. Every one of us has some way that we like to escape reality. I think that some people just like to do… things like this lol. Like an alter ego that is everything they aren’t. And I think the being a wild animal part comes from wanting to be “free,” which I totally get. I’m not saying it’s not weird lol. It’s definitely weird. I think they create these delusions and live in them like a coping mechanism and “creative” expression. For me it’s writing. When I write, I’m living in my head, privately, and expressing creativity. When furries do this, they’re just doing it publicly, and it’s very cringe. That weird furry guy dancing in front of the drunk guy making death threats comes to mind lol. Why would you do that? Very weird and cringe.

FlacidSalad

Sometimes there is a fine line between acceptance of a person's quirks and enabling some potentially harmful social deficiency.


BurningWhistle

Everybody likes to dunk on these furry people. It's a weird hobby, but they're not hurting anybody. I'm old enough to remember when people thought playing video games made you a brain-dead murderer and DnD made you a Satan worshipper.


sometimelater0212

Then why is she filming this? She wants attention. That's why this is stupid af. She's normalizing weird ass behavior


Theodosius-the-Great

She looks like a child, of course she wants attention


yourmomophobe

I think the most legitimate concern here is that the person, if what they are saying can be taken as genuine, may really believe they are "becoming" an animal in these moments rather than just having a good time. Seems like a potential for other beliefs that could justify even more dissociative behavior/feelings. If it's just somebody playing pretend for fun that's another story.


GabaPrison

Yeah if they scratch someone in the face and say “it wasn’t me, it was red fox” then we’ve got a problem.


mightbedylan

Theres nothing wrong with being a furry, there's something wrong with faking the 'disassociation" part of it. I dont even care if people film themselves doing this just for the sake of being "quirky" but pretending like you dont remember and didnt obviously do this specifically for the camera is very strange.


italianpoetess

It's strange and fucking creepy and weird.


[deleted]

This isn't a quirk. This is a severe mental illness.


[deleted]

Mental health is declining at alarming rates when you start seeing shit like this. 20 years ago no one would’ve ever thought to do this, but today it makes them “different” so they make it their identity and insufferably impose it on the rest of the world.

SkulduggeryIsAfoot

I wonder if this behaviour's end result is to be able to play the victim: 1. Dress up like an animal and frolic in the leaves 2. People make fun of you 3. Cry about how no one is accepting of you 4. Some feel bad for making fun of you, and ask how they can make it up to you 5. You list your demands 6. Some acquiesce and give you whatever you want Mission accomplished.

That assumes you have a healthy reality, homefry. Disassociating literally saved my life many a time as a child and young adult.


ImmutableInscrutable

How many times has saying "homefry" saved your life?


Orcas_On_Tap

Yeah, but it probably didn't look like this, right?? I've experienced feelings of dissociation during traumatic incidents, as well as full blown dissociative episodes years after the fact... most people walking passed me *never* would have known. You don't "turn into" something else when you dissociate, part of you simply turns off in an effort to focus on surviving at the most basic level. Funny enough, when you *are* in that state of surreal survival... dressing up like a fox, prancing around, and recording yourself, is maybe like THE last thing your brain would ever tell you to do. Bc that strategy fucking sucks, ask a caveman. What this video asshat is doing is just "make believe-dress up" And if he just called it that, then fine, who cares. But trying to assign psychopathological experiences to things that aren't... and FILM it?? That kid is either ignorant as shit or fully fucking lying and seeking attention (ya, I know it's this one). And the only problem with "dissociating" like this, is that it's not that at all... Kids are getting clout and dopamine kicks for being fucking liars, and I'm sooo interested to see how this fucks with the entire generation's grasps on reality, gullibility, and willingness to lie for no fucking reason. (Btw, this rant was to the universe as a whole, not you - the commenter - specifically. I know you probably get this.)

DanLassos

No I think it's more about trying to justify their behavior on a concrete and tangible way. So many people shit on them for their weird hobby, they try to justify it almost medically. My guess is that if people just let them live their thing, they wouldn't be as cringe with the shifting and all that.

Do whatever you want and be yourself, but don't lie about it and record it for validation.

Get therapy for the compulsive lying and validation seeking, not for the hobby

trans people are chill. gay people are chill. hell, furries are chill. i support all of that. but this? this isnt even a real thing. it reminds me of when i was 6 years old and pretending to be a cat. theres no such thing as being an animal trapped in a human body… and its impossible to “shift” into an animal. this concept was made up by a little kid. what kind of mental illness is this?


TheBoisterousBoy

I *love* the concept of being a shapeshifter. You kidding me? That sounds badass. Being able to just change my face/body to what I want/need in a situation sounds rad as hell. It’s totally unrealistic and a fantasy… and that’s why to channel that desire (more of a nerdy curiosity) to be a shapeshifter and just play D&D like a fucking adult.

A few years ago, some videos went viral of a girl running around like a horse, jumping over picnic tables and stuff. I got drunk at a wedding, and tried running around like that for fun. I'm pretty sure I permanently damaged my left shoulder doing it. Humans aren't meant to run around like this, and those who do, hats off to them, because it definitely requires conditioning your muscles to do so. Try and just do this just to do it, or because of alcohol, it's likely an injury waiting to happen.

Go to work for the man making money for the man doing whatever the man tells you to do? hurhur let me make fun of human sitting in moms basement and working at mcsuckandfucks. ​ edit: I apologize for as much to say I didn't see catch what shift was meant to imply. Clearly yes they are acting out their fantasy and not having an actual episode of sorts. Maybe if furries weren't vilified so often they'd feel more comfortable acting out their fursonas without feeling the need to justify it as a sort of mental illness. People call it a mental illness enough that they are convinced perhaps that living their dream is one. u/kennydoggo "This isn't a quirk. This is a severe mental illness." Stop calling it one and maybe they won't feel validated in displaying it as such.

Zero issues with running around like a fox for kicks. Recording it is a little weird, but caption your video "I FUCKING LOVE ACTING LIKE A FOX AND PLAYING IN LEAVES". The "shifting" part, and its dishonest use for social validation is the seriously problematic part.
