Look, I didn't want to reveal my power level here and all that shit, but umm, if you're out there reading this, let me tell you a little about furries.
Yeah I know you know all about them, but let me tell you about the level of autism that comes from selecting dragon as a furry species.
For some reason, you've got a mix of "I really am a dragon, I just look like a human" that boils all the way down to "I just play a dragon on the internet, I know this isn't real shit" (paraphrased) but let me tell you, it's front and top end loaded. The fraction of a fraction that are normal people and are also dragons is below 0.01%. The rest are one minor inconvenience away from a spaghetti infused maximum overdrive autist rant that covers everything from every negative memory they've ever had.
I left the fandom after a brief stint thinking "They're not all that bad" And some of them are okay people. I'm sure they could fill a small room with the amount of relatively normal people. But the fandom is huge, and has more than it's share of insane nutbars. The rest are just doorknob lickers with a penchant for forgetting their social filters in conversation, or using an indoor voice. Or not being a massive idiot for seemingly no reason.
These people have no coping mechanism, and they're using escapism as a way to blend in with others, and they still can't do it.
Furry species have stereotypes based either on mythology, or the people who tend to choose them. So it's a bit like a self-selected "pronouns in the bio" type red flag when someone makes their own furry personal.
You are 100% spot on with dragons. If someone has to be a dragon, 99% of the time they have some kind of personality disorder. There's a reason they have to be a tough, treasure having, mythological, magical, nation threatening identity.
One of the chicks I pulled away from a dragon "master" (in the BDSM sense) went fucking nutbars over it and was sending her messages like "I NEED YOUR WOMB!" (they both had a breeding kink.) But seriously. This dude thought saying that was like holding up a stereo, such as is often memed of the "Say anything" movie.
Treasure hoarding. Not just having, that's a key word.
Consider the logic behind what a dragon already represents, wouldn't someone with a serious mental illness be a hoarding, narcissist with a propensity for violence?

I feel like what normal people and conservatives don't understand is that there are so many people in so many broken communities that the optimal narrative doesn't work; and the idea of "rescuing people from broken relationships" actually makes sense when the environment is already so disturbed.
Not to mention, you are literally playing the role of the paladin rescuing the princess in that story.

Just avoid at all cost. Believe me.
Been a furry for 17 years.

Which is exactly why they admire and choose that species as their persona. xD I concur basically.
