Another n00b: Fuck facebook, ED is what you want to read.

Hello. I am not a furry, I decided to create an account here in an attempt to expand my knowledge of the subject. I hope you don't mind my self-mocking username, I use it everywhere. I haven't been active here in a long time, and don't expect me to. Though I may check over articles occasionally, if I find something wrong.

Were

2011-07-23T12:53:29Z

Another n00b: Usenet is not actually part of the internet, technically.

'''Were''' is the general term to describe both fans of were-animals and [[therian]]s. Were-[[Wikipedia:fandom|fandom]] overlaps both [[furry fandom|furry]] and [[transformation]] fandoms, combining aspects of both; people who call themselves weres may also be fans of these other genres. Unlike furries, were-animals are generally more [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bestial#Adjective bestial] and less intelligent, usually controlled more by animal [[Wikipedia:Instinct|instinct]] and impulses rather than intellect, often to violent results.

In the days of Usenet, weres originally gathered in [[alt.horror.werewolves]] (circa early to late 1990s) to discuss their interest in werewolves and other shape-shifting or humanoid animals from horror and mythology. As time passed, three groups separated:
*Fans of horror werewolves and other were-animals
*People who liked roleplaying werewolves and were-animals
*People who felt a personal, spiritual connection with werewolves or were-animals.

Eventually, much like furry fandom, the group who felt they were, in some ways, a were-animal became their own group. But, unlike furry fandom, they have become a very socially dominant group, and [[therianthropy]] a surprisingly accepted idea even amongst the fans who are only roleplayers or more casually interested.

Weres are generally interested in less anthropomorphic styled art, preferring semi-human animals; much of were art is either based on wildlife painting styles, or roleplaying game styles. Were-art has become a term and style in and of itself in the furry fandom, and were artists are a large reason for the current popularity of [[digitigrade]] forms and the decrease in the popularity of [[toons]]. They enjoy the company of like-minded weres and sometimes meet at [[howls]] to commune with nature.

Though originally a [[horror]] sub-fandom, not all weres are horror fans. Some prefer to see werewolves (and other were-animals) as more natural creatures, which aren't inherently violent or horrific, so that any violent actions they take are a return to a wild state of being. Were-fandom has a significant environmentalist streak because of this.
