Hot take: Some people genuinely see dogs as more important than humans beings, and a lot of it feels like closeted racism.

You clearly don’t understand but this is called animal focused empathy It’s where you literally are just so empathetic for animals that it hurts you more to see one in pain then a human. As someone who has this I still feel pain and sadness when a human is hurt physically or emotionally but I just have more emotions and empathy for creatures that can’t express their own feelings.

I don’t see dogs as more important than people, but I do see them as having less agency than humans do, so there is a degree of responsibility there. it is the same reason we feel more deeply for children in distress than adults, even though I *do* still feel deeply for adults - children are truly helpless

ight but you tell a dog to be quiet most of the time they do. You tell a female to be quiet suddenly you committed a war crime that ended the existence of everything righteous.

I’ve never built an atom bomb. No one that I know has ever built one. I wouldn’t even know where to start honestly. If you gave me and 4 friends a year to build one, I don’t think we could.

not saying if you like dogs you act like this. like many things in life, there are extremes on both sides. (source: went from growing up with dogs to having two cats once i moved out)

i feel like there's a difference between what #6 is describing and insisting dogs are the best ever over everything (way better than cats who are heartless, disgusting, the worst creatures to ever walk the earth) + making that your personality

Ok yeah I guess it interpreted this differently bc now that I think about it I totally know people who’s favorite thing over anything else is their dog and if you don’t think their dog is cute they hate you but still not a form of racism but I see what op is gettin at

I mean, maybe I don’t know what you’re describing but personally when I describe it to people the way I feel about animals versus humans that like sounds logical and people understand what I’m getting at but if what you’re describe these people who are like actually obsessed with their dogs I think I somewhat agree
