Leading werewolf scientists argue that lycanthropy was originally a metaphor for going in the woods and doing gay stuff, so werewolves may be the original gay halloween furries. Which, ngl, is pretty damn based if true.

Note: I just made up that this is a point "leading werewolf scientists" are making. It's just something i read somewhere once. I don't even know if there are wererwolf scientists, let alone leading ones.
