People saying “why are therians only the cool animals?”

I keep running across different people on social media criticizing therianthropy by saying “why are therians only the cool animals like wolves and cats and foxes, huh?“ it kind of made me mad since honestly when you think about it, saying that it quite ignorant 😭

what I thought was that the reason wolves, foxes, and cats are some of the most common theriotypes was because when humans consider their wild nature or wildside, these are things closest to us, and the ones we know most about. Furthermore, just because they’re cool doesn’t mean people can’t have them as their theriotypes!

if you guys have any more thoughts or comments please let me know! This is an interesting (albeit frustrating) topic for me.
