A small subset of furries (~10%), called “therians,” believe they are spiritually connected to animals, are less than (or more than) 100% human, are an animal trapped in a human body, or were an animal in a former life. Otherkin, like therians, feel spiritually connected to non-human species, but the species extend to mystical species, e.g., dragons, griffons, and minotaurs. this Ausername4269 (talk) 14:13, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
paragraph 65 should have a link to the survey and/or be updated with a more recent survey to increase credibility. MCFY83 (talk) 12:57, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The cite is to the research paper which conducted the survey. We don't need to show the original data here. And if you can find a newer survey that fits WP:RS, please feel free to point us in that direction. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite13:20, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reed Waller and Ken Fletcher were the pair of cartoonists, who started it up in Minneapolis. A scan of a flyer they made to discuss it can be found here (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19451045/), but a Google search of their names might be able to provide a better source to to reference. There's loads of pages though, so it would be great if someone who's allowed to edit this can find a more appropriate one. 2603:7080:9D40:66C1:845B:1DB7:474A:446 (talk) 21:43, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a bit late where I am but it's a start to have the artists named; I added the link to the page as a primary source to confirm it. Any input by other editors is appreciated here! Reconrabbit03:08, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
