Why have people who identify as 'furries' and 'otherkin' been making such a splash recently? Surely, cavemen didn't feel like they were more animal than human? (X-POST from /r/psychology)
I googled this and I couldn't really get a good answer. I mean, I don't judge anyone, however they want to live their life is their choice, who am I to impede their lifestyle?
It's just weird that people who feel like this, happened so much more in the recent years.
I can't find any literature of this happening in older times, never has it ever been mentioned, about the possibility that some people lived and thought they were animals and as such tried to live as them.
I'm sorry if this is a known subject, my research yielded nothing. I'm not a native english speaker so I might be looking in the wrong places.
(I just watched the "What!? I'm an Animal" mini-doc on youtube and it got me wondering)
edit: I realized I phrased this wrong and I apologize. I only ask because I know nothing of it. I'm also swedish and well-versed in english but I can't get most things right, including sentence-building. I never meant to offend people with my question or thoughts.

Fur-funding week in review: 5/12/13
Highlights for the week: Metamorphosis: Birth of a Dragon; Zombies in a Half Shell; Golden Sky Stories.
With two full months of projects to cherry pick, finding some real gems to explore was easy enough (limiting myself to three, though, that was a trick.) This week, we look at Metamorphosis: Birth of a Dragon, a documentary exploring the transformation through body modification of human into serpent; Zombies in a Half Shell, an indie art web tribute which the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are very much not the heroes; and Golden Sky Stories, a tabletop role-playing game from Japan about gentle, shape-changing magical animals.
And then a bunch of other stuff.
Eva Medusa’s transformation has been years in the making, Eva’s skin slowly becoming a full-body pattern of rich green, blue and yellow scales, forehead a crown of horn and ridge, eyes…eyes a shocking green. She is also dealing with the challenges of a male-to-female gender correction, transforming her body and identity into a dragon-lady.
Eva blogs on G+, and is active on many body modification communities (Did you know there was a website devoted to species modification? Life and the internet are full of surprises…)
The IGG, “Metamorphosis: Birth of a Dragon” touches on parts of Eva’s story, its focus is her first public appearance. More generally, it’s a look at body transformation and recreating identity. While the specifics of Eva’s story—tattoos, gender modification, etc—may not be everyone’s cup of tea, the expression of self-as-new-species is very close to the heart of furry (if there is such a place…)
Zombies in a Half ShellIs it really 30 years since Eastman and Laird first gave four turtles ninja masks and a cool rat mentor? How mass media syndication makes the time fly. Zombies in a Half Shell asks some compelling questions, like “what if the glowing mutagenic ooze in the sewers was actually Standard Zombie Formula #16?” Or, “what if The Foot Clan was our only hope against the forces of darkness?”
And then it answers them in a gritty, gory indie apocalypse. The project comprises several artists, but much of the look echoes the look of the early Turtles, a cornerstone of the Indie comic movement. But with more zombies. Maybe the zombie apocalypse card is overplayed, but these are some impressive undead.
If there was one criticism I have of this project, it’s that the KS is a real puzzler. I read the site twice and wasn’t sure what was going on with pledge levels and stretch goals. But I’m not sure I care. It may be a side-effect of Kickstarter’s “projects only” model. And I really like undead rats.
Golden Sky StoriesIf Dungeons & Dragons is a grueling climb in a driving thunderstorm on a mountain covered in cats-claw vines, Golden Sky Stories is an early evening lakeside walk holding a friend’s hand, a single cherry blossom obscuring the camera.
Stories in Golden Sky revolve around friendship and solving challenges in a small enchanted town (I suspect no dragons were slain in the making of this RPG.) Players take the roles of foxes, raccoon dogs, rabbits, birds, and such creatures. The illustrations are charming, and with eight days left, the KS is at nearly 10 times their original goal. An auspicious beginning!
I’m always glad to see the TRPG hobbistry step away from bloodshed and toward character and mood, and from the positive response from the KS community, this is a very welcome project.

Documentary of much-loved anthropomorphic characters and their creators, in fiction and fandom
This is a return to IGG for this project, a second leg of the journey, the first one didn’t reach goal but they started work regardless. Points for perseverance.

Three animated shorts: teen angst and adolescent awkwardness from the eyes of sports mascots growin’ up.

Urge for Going (Ends: 6/14/2013)

Bigger, Better, and Badger!

A quirky puzzle/strategy epic space battle between cats and aliens over…mice. I’m not sure who the good guys are here.

doggie-hookups.com (Ends: 6/21/2013)
Picture if you will…a dating and social meet-up site for your dog. Have you considered your dog’s sex life lately? Doggie hookups has.

You really notice the lack of gender parity when ponies go deep NC-17. Just saying.

Chimera Labs: Realistic firmness sextoys, lubricants (Offbeatr voting period)
Crowdfunding for a startup business with a variety of product, with a goal of artistic, detailed, and reasonably-priced, toys.

Neko Adventures: Real Cat Girl Porn (Offbeatr voting period)
DVD/web release of cat girls, free from their imprisonment on DeviantArt and sexing it up IRL. Not just for manga anymore.
