Why do I hate other primates?
Why do I hate other primates? Is this even normal? I hate chimps especially. I hate all types of monkeys including the gorillas and the orangutans. I hate them. I think they are disgusting, mindless, worthless creatures. I struggle to find any empathy for them at all. My heart will ache for anything else, a pigeon with a couple toes missing, a blinded dog, a cat with a broken foot, a wounded bear, a scarred whale. But I could never feel that for a primate. It spreads so much that I find myself hating everything to do with them. I won’t buy anything displaying a primate on it (gorilla glue for example I buy but if there’s an alternative I take it.) websites such as skins monkey for CSGO I don’t use because the monkey part is unappealing. The two chimp characters in Madagascar are enjoyable but the fact that they are literal chimps makes me dislike them. I feel no empathy for a hurt monkey and sometimes grim joy, schadenfreude.

This extends to every single point of media as well, joe rogans podcast, I hate his fucking intro, I hate going to the zoo by the monkey exhibit, I hate when I am watching videos of kittens, rabbits, Jaguars, Tigers, bears and then there is a video of some primate and the "cuteness" just shatters.
I would also like to add that for some reason back when I was a child (3-7 years old) I used to have a similar hate for babies. Sometimes I used to be a little shit and would intentionally scare them and make them cry because it would give me happiness, but then seeing an another person my age or older cry would make me sad.

I feel bad for squashing a snail when walling in the rain, I feel bad for killing a spider or a fly knowing that there was a window somewhere I could've let them out from. When I was a child that age I screamed at a classmate for squashing a ladybug so much I made them cry and got in trouble because of it.

Is this normal or am I a bit fucking mental? This has got to be at least a bit normal.

Uncanny valley. They appear human but not quite

Cool. You’re still low IQ enough that your monkey brain makes you chimp out when you see a rival primate

Studying books and memorization doesn't necessarily mean you're smart. Being smart would be actually establishing or progressing the field.

He’s far smarter than you for correctly identifying threats. Chimps are the most dangerous animal alive.

That would be true if it was limited to chimps, but he lumps in gorillas and orangutans. That is true ignorance
