I Am A Real Werewolf

Hello again. Trying to avoid spam... but I do have some thing I do want to bring up.
Lately there's been this trend, particularly on Amino, Instagram, Tumblr.
People are claiming werewolves and lycans are different. They are also claiming there are breeds like bloodchasers, fogbreathers, etc. Most of the info is on this page (https://theshapeshiftersof.tumblr.com/)
It has become quite the trend. Particularly the 'werewolf vs lycan' idea (they even go so far as to say werewolves and lycans have different genes).
I want to know (I personally, am challenging this, and don't believe this) if you agree with this, why or why not? What arguments would you use against this? What proof do you have that this is wrong?
Curious, as I am currently attempting to correct this issue on Amino right now.

I definitely do not agree with this (I in fact made a post debunking such claims a while back) and I don't know what they're experiencing, but that's not correct info. I think they got misinformed by some source-their leader, or the person who runs one of the help blogs did say they got it from an "older lycan" before they disappeared off the net, so I feel like they've been mislead in some form or fashion. But many of them tend to get offended and angry when they see someone else correcting them, so be careful.

Their information is demonstrably false, though. Some breeds are purely fictional (one of their breeds they listed is called the loup garou, but they cite the werewolves from Werewolf: The Apocalypse), the ones that aren't don't make any sense (such as Kynigoús Aímatos, a breed that is supposed to be created by hunters and have both wolf and vampire DNA, while needing blood to change back and forth) and a lot of information the leaders have given out reeks of recklessness, such as the idea that you know you've shifted when you wake up outside of your house, naked, or covered in blood. I believe there can be variances in breed, or what each can do, but they're just the breeds listed and known to mankind and others, such as the benandanti and faoladh werewolves, to name a few. Good luck with getting them to listen to you on that, though.

@Haylani yeah... I expect a few arguments. I'd rather not attempt to change their minds, but to provide a different viewpoint.
I'm tired of misinformation. Especially for those who are young (like me)- we can be impressionable.
What disturbs me the most is there's a whole pack that spreads this information. A whole pack.

@wolfess lol I want to know where this 'pack' is.

wolfess · 26-30, F

@SheAngel19 It's called the First Family Pack. I'll find links, one sec.

They don't have a website. They revolve more around Kik.

@wolfess@SheAngel19 They're everywhere having to do with werewolves or social media. Amino, tumblr, facebook, instagram, etc. You can even locate them on YourLupineLife. You can find a majority of their group on Amino, if not Tumblr, and they have several different aminos all over the place (they have Otherkin Kingdom, TheShapeshiftersofAmino, The First Family Pack, TheLycanthropesDen, Tierschutz, and Lycanthrope Amino) for "werewolves and lycans". Each of the communities below is ran by someone affiliated with the pack, or otherwise a part of it in full.

You can usually tell them apart from the rest of the shifting groups, after a while. They're very distinct, when it comes to what their groups look like and how they format them.

wolfess · 26-30, F

@Haylani Exactly. I find it so frustrating that they're so widespread. Particularly because they're not based on truth yet they tell the young that they can know they've shifted when they "wake up outside naked and bloody". Their information is so easily accessible, when I don't think it should be.

SheAngel19 · 36-40, F

That's when you discredit them with basic logic.

wolfess · 26-30, F

@SheAngel19 Easier said than done.

SheAngel19 · 36-40, F

Not really.

For example. Where's your pack territory? Why has no one else ever heard of this? Do you know (literally any known alpha)? If not be surprised. If so ask why said alpha doesn't know them. Why do you have to be bloody and naked? Are you not aware of yourself in wolf form? Where does your pack originate from?

Very innocent but revealing questions. Makes them flounder and it's hard to keep up with the lies which makes it easier for people to see through the story.

wolfess · 26-30, F

@SheAngel19 Interesting. I've always combatted them with knowledge and they argue against it all too easily. I'll have to try this.

SheAngel19 · 36-40, F

Omg lmao so I just checked out the YouTube channel and the tumblr. It's hilarious. Like the elk hunting. So I'm guessing this little girl lives in my neck of the woods because I live very close to where she is talking about.

And gods the typos and bad information is overwhelming. Plus she's a child. Lol who actually believes this shit? Bunch of angsty tweens wearing too much eyeliner and collars. Smh.
