"Hello everyone, it's Hershel here. I just wanted to express my views on something that pesters me quite a bit, especially at this time since well..Halloween is around the corner. The biggest peeve to me are the werewolf horror movies that many people like to watch even though they hate werewolves. I've seen quite a few movies and honestly, I feel they are bad movies when it comes to their knowledge on lycanthropes like myself.
Movies like "The Wolfman", "An American Werewolf in London", "The Howling" and other horror movies portray innacurate (and biased) views on werewolves like...we look absolutely horrifying and ugly...and worst of all...ALL of us lack rationality...
Which is not true. Werewolves are ceirtainly not super scary and ugly. Most of us just look like huge wolves on our hind legs. We also have human eyes and our front paws function like hands. Not only that, but we actually shed and get a new coat when spring arrives.
And about the irrational claim...yes, at least six out of ten werewolves are irrational. But the four other werewolves are rational. We think about our actions and we don't hurt others, however we do have some canine tendencies. Despite this, we can be as sweet and loyal as a pet dog.
So yes, I honestly can't stand this movies. Especially because I think that's one of the reasons we are hated. Yes, werewolf fiction in books existed, but it was the film genre that popularized it in my opinion.
Oh, and if you're wondering about my thoughts on Twilight? Just wait.
So that is all for now."
