“Cultural appropriation” as in idk claiming something that had been taking place forever halfway around the world because it’s cool, elevated or positive in any way is certainly malicious (profiting from it without even the acknowledgement of it also fits here). If it’s just eating tapas while visiting Valencia and saying “moochass grassyass”, or celebrating a holiday that’s not from the culture you’re from and dressing up because everyone from that culture is, then no. At most, it’s tone deaf, ignorant or a bit cringy, but there’s no malice behind it so we gotta let it slide and see it for what it is: people wanting to share in with other people’s experiences. 🤷‍♂️

And there’s a lot to hate in the way people behave, but we gotta be cautious about overdoing it.

Damn, some people have very interesting lives! I’ve only seen a fox, and that was at my previous place which had a garden. I was just worried about my cat so I called her in… but I think she could’ve taken the fox NGL. 😼🤣

You’re using too much logic for an emotional thread, lol.

The people who are “animals over humans!!!” or equate them don’t love nor care for anybody besides themselves in earnest. They’ll stay in their little corner with their pets, shaking in fear just thinking about deep human connections until the day they die. 🤷‍♂️

They might just be more human friendly 🤷‍♂️. The atheist Western person often loves animals because they’re afraid of people (which turns into hatred after some years of propaganda and loneliness), can’t form or maintain proper relationships for a number of reasons (trauma, ideology that thinks men are wolves to their fellow man) and, sometimes, it’s because they can’t control people the way they can control animals.

This reminds me of that one line “I can tolerate racism but I won’t stand for animal abuse” or something like that by the blonde girl in Community, lol.

Ps: I have a big chubby cat called Jezebel that’s as pampered as a young princess, and I still understand that’s just an animal. If I had to decide on saving the lives of either a random person or my cat, I would save the random person with no hesitation. Who wouldn’t do the same besides thoroughly confused people?
