I think we need to normalize using "people" as a species neutral word.
Like idk in my brain the word people just doesn't automatically = human. To me it's just a way to signify intelligence and individuality, and to emphasize the need for respect towards another creature, not specific to any one species.
Dogs can be people, mice can be people, dragons can be people, humans can be people, birds can be people, elves can be people, robots can be people, and so on.
It's also (in my opinion) just much easier than always saying "beings" or "individuals" when referring to varying assortments of creatures.
i went shopping. with my boyfriend. and i got two collars. with a tag. with my name. and their number on it. i also got two puppy toys. they crinkle. and they squeak. im an official puppydog.
nobody talks about the struggle of having a kintype from a source that's actually just horribly cringy
it's like
"hey this piece of media is a really integral part of my identity as an individual and has had a big influence on my life, it means a lot to me and is one of my favorites :)"
hello ^w^ I keep seeing your stimboards and they're just so so pretty so I wanted to ask of you could possibly do one of a black wolf with themes of meat?
If not is completely fine ^w^
I hope this works! Lmk if not and I can remake it for you :)
