IC Prospective: Sam Winchester (First year)

Character: Sam Winchester
Mun: Amanda can'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?

Anyone who needs a potion to keep themselves under control are certainly not just people. And considering the fact potions can and sometimes do fail without the proper skill, that makes them even more of a problem. People have the right to be afraid and should indeed be afraid. Werewolves and Vampires are dangerous creatures and shouldn't be allowed within normal society.

Have you ever met a vampire or werewolf, sir?
