Alpha rule

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
- You. Couldn't, understand! That.?
  
  Nah I had trouble as well. I don't like having to adopt an altered mindset to read something.
  
  No‽
- This, i almost had a stroke. Or at least i thought i was having one.
- No period?
  
  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
- Yeah, my brain jammed trying to understand the first sentence which wasn't, in fact, a sentence.

Yes. So what?
- This is 'cur'rsed - I love it.
  
  Fursed

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 We need to stop using outdated terminology from a retracted study in common language.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.
  
  Very true, would probably get them to drop it quickly too.
- Good luck convincing the manosphere to drop it
  
  Calling it a "furry thing" is very likely to be successful if done in sufficient quantity
  
  They'd do it in a heartbeat if people started thinking it was a furry thing.
- "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.

"You're an alpha? I happen to be a power bottom, pretty boy! Why don't you come back to my place later and I'll put on my mursuit." seductive wink
- Mursuits imply the existence of goldsuits and frankincensesuits.

"Anyone who MUST say they are an alpha is NOT an alpha." - Tywin Lannister.
- Kids hate this one trick

It's actually an omegaverse thing you uncultured fool
- Isn't that the point?

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!
- There are two wolves inside you 🥴

Same with mewing and anything that ends in maxxing
- I feel like people who use those terms are less likely to care about being "weird"

Is that a furry rule?

Oh His extra ordinary 🙂🤨
