That's fair. But as an informational omnivore, I can promise you I almost definitely would have heard of something like that if we had it.
Also, yeah, you don't have to spell it out for me. Chip can be a little feral at times!
...listen, I couldn't resist. But seriously, I do get it. And it does explain the teeth.
You're about the furthest thing I can think of from violent or aggressive...but if that's a 'preconception' people tend to have about werewolves, am I wrong in thinking that might be intentional?
See, I've seen quite a few places that have lots of 'preconceptions' about people who are different, so I know that code. I also know a bit about trying not to fall into the stereotypes of what people believe about your kind.
Quick question, though - isn't the line between 'magic-based disease' and 'curse' a pretty fine one already? Is there a whole lot of reason to draw the distinction? I mean, I could see changing the wording to help with public perception - curse is definitely a more loaded word - but it sound like people are trying to split more scientific hairs than that about it, and I'm just wondering why.
