7480532 No. It is meant as a parody of how members of one cultural group pretend to be part another culture, which they consider cooler. In a similar way to how Ali G pokes fun at privileged white British teenagers pretending to be Afro-Caribbean. Or the classic comedy of American tourists visiting Europe claiming to be Irish/Scottish/whatever based on some tenuous ancestral link, while acting in a comically brash American manner. Or white Australian kids saying they are aboriginal. This is not meant as a comment on any of these groups, but just to poke a bit of fun at the stereotype.
7480701 It would work even better as a parody of otherkin, or furries in general. I'm a furry myself (as if the profile pic didn't give a hint), so I feel for these guys.
7482589 True. To be fair, it can be interpreted in many ways, and it's nice that readers can relate it to their own experiences. I just wanted to be clear that I'm not deliberately having a jab at transsexuals, which I would never do as I know they get an unfair amount of flak.
A bunch of pegasi teens who identify as griffons. (Snerk!)

I like that idea! I mean who wouldn't want to be a griffon? Griffons are the best!

Are Ditzy Doo and Daring Do related?
If so, this is interesting.
Multiple parties squabble over the McGuffin. This has the makings of a new book.
The buzzards are circling.
7476527 That's almost certainly racist

That's another story.
7476005 I think I see the Ditzy Doo reference but how does that exactly imply she is Daring's sister in this story?
7476005 and if not, it is also interesting.![:trollestia:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trollestia.png)
Was the part about the 'Pegasi identifying as Griffons' meant to be a jab at transgenders?

Does wanting to be an actual Werewolf make me a furry, or just a nerd?
