    Aaaahh please use punctuation

    It would make it infinitely more understandable if you wrote:

    Normalize saying “is that a furry thing?” whenever a guy says he is an alpha

          There should be a comma after “Nah.” Are you an “alpha” trying to distract from the conversation?

        No, because periods at the end of a sentence are unnecessary if there are no further sentences.

        Though a period for the first sentence in my comment would’ve made sense

    Alpha isn’t a real thing in the way it was originally described, wolf packs are a family stricture not a group of random dudes following the toughest ones. The “alphas” so to speak, are the parents and the “betas” are the children. We need to stop using outdated terminology from a retracted study in common language.

      That’s why we should normalize asking “is it a furry thing?”

      Dressing up in animal costumes to fuck has as much to do with real wolves as alpha/beta pack dynamics.

        They’d do it in a heartbeat if people started thinking it was a furry thing.

          In particular, once women start calling openly them out for being furries , they’ll drop the issue. XD

              Since they enjoyed heterosexual sex with them, and only if it could lead to the possibility of having sex with them. Actually they only ever care if there’s potential for them to have sex (if they consider the lady attractive) otherwise they couldn’t care less.

      “Alpha/Beta” kinda makes sense to describe the manosphere when you consider the context of the study. If you force a bunch of unfamiliar wolves together in an abusive environment, cruel hierarchies can develop. If you live in a society that alienates, dehumanizes, and forces inhumane scarcity, people might find comfort in hierarchical power dynamics. It’s not natural to desire to be an alpha, but the result of a manufactured environment.

      I think the term as they mean it originated from wolf behavior in captivity rather than in the wild.

    A friend of mine said that he wanted to get with a wolf. I asked him (out of genuine curiosity) if it was a furry thing.

    Nope, it’s gay slang; like bear or otter. I got a chuckle out of him though!
