It's pretty much been decided that a fluffy bunny is someone who delves too far into the happy light side of paganism while almost, if not completely, disregarding the dark side. Is there a term, or anything else for that matter, regarding the other side of the extreme, a person who goes too far into the dark (so to speak) while ignoring the happy light side?
I'm not refering to any religion that's extremely pessimistic, but religions that seek to strike balances between the two.

Boadicia It's pretty much been decided that a fluffy bunny is someone who delves too far into the happy light side of paganism while almost, if not completely, disregarding the dark side. I disagree with this definition. Really- a fluffy bunny is someone who ignores objective reality in favor of personal delusion or favors flawed sources because it furthers self-aggrandizing mythos. There is room for “light” and UPG within serious traditions; it just shouldn’t be touted to create historical and theological revisionism and delusion.

Fluffies are fluffies- no matter if they are obsessed with pretty shiny or dank darkness.

I can see it like that, then. A dark fluffy -- that's kind of weird. xd

Meh- No more or less than any other group.
I mean- "white lighters" and "dankity-dank hole" people exist across religious bounderies.

Heh, I usually refer to that as Vlading, after a local Mr dark we had who always pretended to super ebil and dark power... power so dark, you couldn't seen it...
He was the direct descendant of Vlad Tepes, which was fortunate, as he was the reincarnation of that self same impaler... which is quite a feet considering his pure Cherokee, Souix, Atlantean, Basque, and Celtic blood. whee

I call them Gothbunnies. Insubstantially (mis)informed, with dark eyeliner, a konstantinos book, and plenty of angst at their disposal.

I like Vlading/Vladers- it is a popular tale for those who fall in that group. I even knew a Catholic who claimed such.
As for Konstantinos- I think people might be a little too harsh on him.
Some of his stuff is pretty good if you cut away the fluff- much the same way Cunningham is.

gothbunnies, that's cute, i agree that a fluffy bunny is a fluffy bunny no matter how you look at it, but a gothbunny is an interesting way of putting it...(mind you, i wear heavy black eyeliner most of the time, but that is not because i want to sustain a certain image, it's because that is how i feel comfortable...but at the same time, i am quite informed yet modest, nothing at all like a gothbunny)

Not a big fan of the term "gothbunnies" myself. The goth culture is bastardized enough.
Oh for the good ol' days when Goth was a subgroup of punk and not just a bunch of folks with black clothes and silver jewelry.
