short answer: just what it says right there, it means being physically nonhuman
HOWEVER, it's obviously not just that simple, so here's the long answer:
- reality checking for the sake of explanation under the cut -
there are many reasons why someone might identify as a physical nonhuman or holothere, which is a term for all physical nonhumans (coined by @/defrostedvertebrae). for one, someone might experience delusions related to this, which would most often fall under clinical zoanthropy (the delusion that someone can turn, has turned or will turn into a nonhuman animal), but it can also be a different, more... let's say vague type of delusion. these people believe they can literally physically turn into animals and/or their DNA is nonhuman. there's nothing morally wrong about this and they are not harmful and/or p-shifters (which have a long history of very manipulative, malicious and cult-like behaviour).
then there are folk who follow the idea of "I am a fox, and this is my body, therefore this body is physically the body of a fox". they acknowledge their bodies as biologically human, but still physically identify as whatever they are, because it brings them comfort or something along those lines.
and then there are people like me - I don't experience delusions and I know my DNA is human. but instead of a werewolf who's trapped in a human body, I see myself as a physical werewolf, who is stuck in the human shape. and no matter the shape I'm currently taking, a werewolf is always a werewolf, which means I am physically one.
there are also people who claim to be non-delusional but able to physically shapeshift - while I for my personal comfort mostly don't interact with those, it's important to know they aren't automatically p-shifters or have ill intent. they probably are actually delusional, but not able to identify their delusions as such, which is not an uncommon thing. if that makes you uncomfortable, I get it, totally, but please remember to not reality check them, as it can be very harmful.
I hope this is explaining things a bit! if it's too confusing, I can try to reword stuff ^^
Patch 1.1 + Updates for Faust’s Anesthesia. Now introducing:
• Camera Mode. Decorate your mobile phone with an assortment of colourful trinkets and take pictures of anything for memory keepsake.
• Pausing on the game too long prompts Sayaka to occasionally throw out a one-liner.
• Character “Akemi Homura” [file name: TRANSFER STUDENT • 电波少女] has been implemented. Note that she has the highest friendship difficulty out of everyone, so consistent hang out events are ideal.
the thing about zepotha is it's literally just the worse goncharov. they WISH they could be goncharov. but instead of making any actual content even if it's just a shitty photoshop edit theyre just going on other people's content and bombarding the comment section with omg you look just like maxine from zepotha!!!
i want to see edits scraped together from five different 80s slasher films, i want to see cosplays, fake movie posters, in depth slideshow analysis videos. COMMIT TO YOUR BIT
Do not respond to the eggs that whisper. They will only tell you lies.
If you see an egg shaking on its own. Grab that one. There's something special inside.
If you get the eerie sense that Something is following you DO NOT turn around. Stare resolutely forward and return to the nearest crowded area immediately.
If you pick up an egg and it changes colors in your hand, throw it back. That one's not for you, and it will Know if you take it.
If you see an egg in your basket that's hatching. Run. It may already be Too Late.
