I figured myself out when I was around 8 years old, and was well into college before I started looking online. Admittedly, that was because I finally got access to online resources at college. I had a dial-up modem, but the only things around were BBSes and they were unbelievably provincial. It was difficult in those times because it was library research, and any materials that existed covered clinical lycanthropy, which didn't really fit. Since college was how most folks got internet, the majority of the therians I knew were in their 20s.
Personally, I think it is fantastic that resources exist now, and that folks don't have to go through that self-discovery alone.
I remember when I finally found out that my local library had a free dialup connection that would allow people to surf the web through a text based Unix shell at a cool 2400baud, ahahaha. I was ecstatic when I found others like me but by that point, I'd gone through much of the journey alone, as well.
It's cool to meet others that remember those times.

therian hunters? I say nope. I guess it's just the same that would bully a furry, for the same reason, and probably don't get the difference to begin with. But if they were real...
Lycan, wanna bet on who catches the most between the two of us?
You might be stalked/chased because you are a teen-aged girl and there are weirdos, and pedophiles who stalk young girls. I do not think people are getting stalked because they are Therian. Even if people wear collars and such, that might be more stand-outish. But I would view most of those (from an outsider viewpoint) as being Goth, teen-wolves. Not people who identify within as a non-human animal.
Most of the things discussed in the video are just common sense things. If you wear a tail, collar that sort of thing, you WILL stand out.
Granted I've only been awakened for over a year, and in the community as long. I've never encountered "hunters of therians". I have encountered bullies, people with small minded views, misguided thoughts on what I am. But "hunters"? No.

I totally just imagined a giant, cybernetic demon wolf just charging down the streets of Florida at all my evil, evil little adversaries- before getting distracted by something cute, like a kitten or something. XD
It was a very, very entertaining thought. Though to be more serious, I doubt any of us deny that you're probably the most awesome, protective therian here and we all know you'd stand up for us if we were bullied. You rock like that.
