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?

I suppose the time that they spend around pure8loods encourages the prejudices to grow in muggle8orns. From what I recall, muggle entertainment doesn't often have the 8est view on people with those diseases, yes?

Exactly! It's nice to see that someone understands that. They have a disease, yes, 8ut they still have their control and moral code.

We... met. Having a discussion on this very topic. Your 8rother doesn't have the same views as you do, unfortunately.
