http://www.thepack.network/thepackboard/viewtopic.php?p=76262#p76262 I find it absolutely extraordinary how my perspective and opinions on what I prefer from a Werewolf did a total 180 between when I first signed on to this forum way back in 2004 and now in late 2008. In the beginning, I was all abo...

. And let's remember that Were-Wolf means "Man-Wolf"; so by definition if a human can shift and become a wolf, he's a werewolf even if all he does as a wolf is sell auto insurance. Now thats horror! I still disagree with that definition. I think a "Werewolf" is more specific tha...

So if lycanthropy is a test, it's not one that a protagonist should be expected to ace. He just has to pass. By the skin of his teeth if need be. Hell, maybe not even that ... See ... now THIS is the perspective I've been trying to protect and promote. "It's not (a test) that a protagonist sho...

I have all the reference images I wanted now, thank you.

The best stories are about EXTRA-Ordinary people anyway ... right? I'm inclined to disagree. While readers/viewers would rather read about extraordinary circumstances , ultimately what they really want is a character they can connect with on some level. My personal take is that the temperament of t...

I really don't think that ALL werewolves would have a natural predisposition towards a single, universal clothing style. ... and leather jackets are Cliche. Making all Werewolves dress the same, (thus taking away the persons individuality) I think is not an appealing concept to ANYONE here. For the ...

BALANCE I think that that's what we're all looking for here. Even if it's by varying degrees because of our own opinions. I think a Werewolf should be sca-- scratch that-- Intimidating to the point of making a normal human afraid, but not a monster (though, that is not to say they cant be violent o...

Lets not forget that the wolf is very much capable of experiencing other emotions such as love, fear and joy. Why can't a werewolf experience this as well? Is it really that unacceptable for the beast to show these kinds of feelings? Will it really result in a disastrous story? Will people really r...

... Speaking of such things, what about using the werewolf as a symbol of powerful sexuality (A role for which it is well suited if you've ever read Little Red Riding Hood or any other disturbingly freudian werewolf stories), played for horror. I mean, "A Company of Wolves" did it, and I ...

In the end though, I don't see why there can't be room for both, and I think your Werewolf is as valid as anyone elses, Vuldari. For without the traditional Werewolf, the original Werewolf, indeed, the Werewolf archetype, as it were... what would we base our explorations upon? Were would we go from...

Though I think the thread was more about the changeing image of the were wolf. I'm prolly mistaken. No you are right ... but the thing is, the conversation keeps going on and being restarted over and over again about how the perception of werewolves needs to be CHANGED ... but as the opinions of th...

Many of us are diligent proponents of the ideas you're espousing, so much that we've actually driven pure horror fans away from the forum, in some cases leading them to flame us. (I'm reminded of the one "Ravenous" author and his long diatribe about how horrible we were for not bowing dow...

... the point is ... for ME I think maybe we are. And your post, Terastas, is a perfect example of just how that is happening. Is that really the reaction a Werewolf FAN is going to get every time they DARE to express their opinion, if they happen to be a "Monster" Werewolf fan? *Paraprhas...

The article you posted to says that someone suggested that it is "potentially" dangerous, but that the FDA did tests and determined that it was safe ... and that the chemical passes through the body quickly, (and the amount you actually take in per-drink must be absolutely minuscule) makin...

Movies? ... MOVIES?? ... who said anything about Movies? The subject of Movies didn't even cross my mind while writing that post. I was thinking more along the lines of the attitudes of non-commercial werewolf fans like the patrons of forums like this one ... fan fiction writers ... artists ... etc....

Just as long as these "NEW" kind of werewolf fans don't discourage others from choosing to depict Werewolves in the "OLD" way (1800-1900's style Monsters ... pre 1800's legends, myths, demons, etc.) if they happen to still prefer them that way, I have no problem with it. Adding n...

Cuteness RULES! (I can't get the videos to play fully on my connection, but at least I can see the baby bat) Liking cute things has nothing to do with gender (and even if it did, there is nothing wrong with a Man being in touch with his feminine side). ... YAY! ... thanks for sharing. http://img176....

That would be a "flaw" that we both share, it seems.

I still think that Kitetsu should be courteous enough to answer the question the Thread has posed. Kitetsu : "In Entertainment, Animal Characters ( ...whom are More 50/50 in their traits and Less "Animal Eared Humans" or "Goofy looking Critters wearing nothing but a thong".....

I have no idea what you are talking about other than that this entire post seems incredibly conceited, and it seems that you appear to think that your own uncommon preferences are better than everyone else's, and lack any modesty about saying so. What point exactly are you trying to make other than...

A part of me has always wanted to attend a convention like this ... if only just to say that I did, and to see what they are really like. ... but I'm a bit of a recluse and not the kind of person who would likely get the most out of that kind of experience (I'm not all that talkative in person, and ...

I'm only against remakes if they are cheap, low quality cash-ins on popular old franchises/stories. However, when they are actually well done, I enjoy them very, very much ... and love to at least see people TRY to bring back classic old characters and stories from time to time. For example, I'm qui...

*sigh* The problem is, I've tried searching for it for all my life, and so far, only the japanese furries can deliver most of what i want, which doesn't say much, because the problem i have at hand is exactly like putting up with the habits of western and eastern comics. In the end, I always end up...

Yes, Vuldari, but only if we're talking about a much more figurative definition of the word "rape," one that unfortunately allows for a slippery slope. (Do parasites rape us? Viruses? What about nightmares? Even ideas? ...and so forth.) The most literal and common definition of rape must ...

Funny ... this topic is not what I thought it was going to be about at all, from reading the title. The conversation seems to be about what a Werewolves attitude towards rapists is ... ... while the profound question that arose in my mind from the subject title was ... " In what way does a Were...
