IC Prospective: Sam Winchester (First year)
Character: Sam Winchester
Mun: Amandacan't stop want stop
Plot specific: Nope.
If lycanthropy is a disease, why is there such a stigma against werewolves? I mean, I know they're dangerous during the full moon, but there's the wolfsbane potion, right? It makes them not as feral or something. Not to mention transmission happens under very specific circumstances, and there's no proof if it's hereditary. So why do people act like werewolves are so bad? They're still people, right? They're people more than they're wolves.
It's kind of like how people with leprosy were/are treated. There's ways to treat lycanthropy and to keep it from being quite so easily transmitted, but there's such a stigma against the people who have it.
Are there colonies, too?

WHILE IT'S TRUE THERE IS A WOLFSBANE POTION TO PREVENT PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM LYCANTHROPY FROM GIVING IN TO THE WOLF'S MINDSET WHILE TRANSFORMED IT'S STILL A VERY NEW CREATION COMPARED TO OTHER MAGICAL TREATMENTS AS WELL AS BEING VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE. THAT COMBINED WITH CENTURIES-LONG PREJUDICES AGAINST MAGICAL BEINGS WHO AREN'T COMPLETELY HUMAN MAKE PROGRESS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT.
