Something I've noticed is that people with a particular "species" as a fursona/otherkin/dragonkin/whatever, have simmilar traits to some degree. It might have something to be with association with other creatures, or just many other reasons - arrogant bastards might choose dragons cause they think "Dragons are cool, they're mighty and strike fear into others".

Some might be dragonkin for different reasons - some I've noticed said in other places - some might do it to belong for someone, some might do it for a thrill. Others might do it because they don't like their life, get themselves to think they're a dragon, and since they're suddenly something better than before (in their mind), they think they're better than others, especially because in STORIES, dragons are normally a "mean", "evil", and "superior", where they demand sacrifices and other things. Dragons are regarded as that or just really noble and high and mighty - mix people who associate with them, and you're bound to see the assholes that try to say they're better than others.

Some who might be a fox or something might actually be real cunning or able to slip through trouble or something. Snakes? They normally are associated with mean people, misunderstood, smart-asses, or just people who can get into trouble or other stuff. And chances are a good handful of "snakes" (otherkin or fursona wise) are in that "stereotype". I won't try to stop you, but I think it's silly to "not be a dragon" cause of that. If you put it that way (again no offense), you could essentially say "I'm no longer a human, cause I'm sick of how the other humans are treated by them, and etc...". The majority of humans tend to be complete assholes. WHether they're part of criminals or "good guys", we don't know, but most of us make stupid choices and act dumb and idiotic. That in mind, chances are that large fandoms/groups/religions/cliques/whatevers would have mostly idiots/radicals in them, and chances are that each sub group (dragons in furries or otherkin) have mostly idiots. You can't really escape it, although the smaller the group gets the more idiots you might encounter.

I understand your point, but I have had a few personal experiences with dragons that were extremely negative, and the only dragonkin I ever knew became a complete jerk when he stopped being an anthro. I agree that every species of furry/scaly will ALWAYS have some assholes, but there with dragons/dragonkin that amount is disturbingly-high.
That doesn't mean that I hate all dragons period; one of my best furry friends IS a dragon anthro.

I've honestly been debating on whether to stay a dragon or not for almost a year, not just because of what I've seen in most dragons, but because I didn't feel like I was being honest to myself and others being a dragon. I felt like I was pretending to be a completely different person...Believe it or not, Vincent LaMuerte Oroscoe is like the real me with a different body. His history, while completely fictional and quite sci-fi, is largely based on my real past experiences. If you would like I can show you the condensed (but still very descriptive) history of Vincent LaMuerte Oroscoe, along with how it is related to what I've dealt with. I honestly should put it up somewhere... >.-.<

I probably sound stupid saying this, but I honestly felt like I stopped wearing the clothes I do (camo cargo pants, black T-shirts with skulls or designs that most would consider goth, or band tees) And listening to the music I do (death metal/metalcore/psytrance/techno) and started dressing like a wigger and listening to rap music (which I despise). The same goes with my scalesona; I wouldn't feel right if I was a dragon anymore, simply because it didn't fit me.

Sorry for the long-winded response. >.-.<;
