Detailed syntax guide

It mostly bothers me because I look at my fellow humans, and I don’t see apes or monkey…I see individuals with resemblances to a wide variety of different animals. For instance a long time ago somebody once compared my appearance to a red fox…I have no idea why, but I took it as a complement.
 
Does the term “otherkin” mean anything to you?
@Da5ch  
…Hating humanity for being effectively “based” on an animal you don’t like is really shallow and actually kind of cruel. Again, like hating black people because you don’t like dark browns, basically same deal (hating an entire innocent group because of a purely superficial reason). And honestly a lot of your objection to evolution and such sounds kinda loopy, quite frankly. I know it might sound bad, unpleasant or maybe even implausible but please don’t dismiss scientific things just because you personally don’t like them, it seems that sort of thing has really been holding back our progress.
@Da5ch  
Every scrap of evidence points to the notion that humans are apes. Even just giving cursory acknowledgement to how we look, there is no other order of animal that even comes close. Internal structure lends even more credence to this theory. For a quick example, human digestive systems are rather different to those of foxes, but pretty much identical to other great apes. Phenotype, genotype, behavior, etc. Everything points to us being apes.
 
The evidence is overwhelming. Denying it is simply nonsensical.
 
Granted, you’re certainly not the only one to ignore mountains of evidence in favor of a more “pleasant” belief, but you should at least acknowledge that you’re denying reality. Science is, after all, simply observing reality.

It’s cool man, none taken. I get that a lot from people on forum debates actually, lol. It doesn’t bother me because I’m actually not this wacko on the surface and in real life. I’m just one of those guys who finds mundane life to be boring and restrictive, so I formulate my own crazy shit more or less based on my own interpretations of stuff that I actually have experienced firsthand. Hell, maybe I’ll someday get over it, but not right now.
 
Also, dat chimp on your avatar. You a Darwinist? No offense of course :P

“I actually had a dream about 2 years ago where I was taking an anthropology class from an obnoxiously-pretentious old dork who made me write a long, boring report about human evolution…my friend and I came up with an elaborate prank to play on him in the form of a mind-numbingly stupid joke report we wrote claiming humans evolved from ponies, also throwing in a bunch of stuff ripped off from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I also remember writing that Equestria Girls characters were the “missing link” between man and pone (I had this dream right around the time the first EqG came out.) I know, I’m strange and random.”
 
Hahaha, Awesome.
@Da5ch
You know, you could easily just condense that hate of humanity to just those select few who are real big on Social Darwinism and are the top of the “food chain,” so to speak. That would make a lot more sense and is a better use of your emotional energy overall.
 
I like your thinking. they are the ones pushing the whole “humans are apes” bullsyayt and making so-called “wonderful, exciting discoveries” extolling the awesomeness of humanity’s similarity to bonobo chimpanzees. They are the ones pushing nihilism, overzealous scientific skepticism and bullsyayt “academic” studies such as “Marxist theory” or “feminist theory” and lofty Freudian gobbletygook. And yes, I am fully aware that I probably sound batsyayt-insane, but all this comes from personal experience.

@Da5ch
…You hate humanity for being based on a less-cool animal?
 
Actually, yes I do. Apes are ugly, hairy and wrinkly, and they just don’t look like humans to me. Like at all. The “classical” evolutionary theory rubs me the wrong way because it fyayks with my own perception of other people and the world.

dude, I’m all for animal motifs and what not. (I’ve been told that I was akin to a wolf before. Pretty sweet.) But, I’m surprised you’re not more peeved off from the notion that us and a lot of our land-based brethren share a common ancestor in a fish that, for one reason or another, said:

Then it grew legs and went on its merry way.
 
… …Ok, maybe that’s not how it went down exactly (bit fuzzy on specifics) but I’m sure y’all got the gist. Personally, I think it’s all pretty dang neat.
@Da5ch  
…You hate humanity for being based on a less-cool animal?  
I hate this say this, but that’s kind of a stupid reason to hate humanity as a whole. It would be like hating black people because you don’t like dark shades of brown, or hating women because you don’t like how boobs or vaginas look, really not a good reason.
@CrashGordon94  
I don’t hate humanity only because of the bad ones lol. I hate humanity because the so-called “experts” say we are apes, when I wish we could be related to a kind of animal that was cooler.
 
It mostly bothers me because I look at my fellow humans, and I don’t see apes or monkey…I see individuals with resemblances to a wide variety of different animals. For instance a long time ago somebody once compared my appearance to a red fox…I have no idea why, but I took it as a complement. And it inspired me to come up with my own “alternative” theory for humanity’s origin, where we were created by an ancient god-race from a type of now-extinct legendary foxlike creature about two million years ago. Kinda sad how that’s the only thing that makes me appreciate humanity even a little.
 
I just disagree with Darwinist evolution (I prefer my own theories of creationism/evolution…I am not a Christian though, I am my own thing) mostly because I hate the people who are most vocal about supporting it. I find them to be arrogant, and I also see social Darwinism as the logical result of regular Darwimism. I have autism and grapple with the thought every day that I am a “weak specimen” who deserves to due because natural selection, and two of my close friends are dying of cancer which makes me worry that evolution is killing them off too. It kinda makes me want to punch Richard Dawkins in the face..
@Da5ch  
Just remember all the innocents that screws over.
 
That’s really the problem with all misanthropy, hating all humans because of the bad ones is like hating a race because some bad people are of that race (in fact, it’s just a scaled-up version of that).
not sure what to make of this “Xenolestia” tag. Is she “xeno” because she’s xenophobic, or “xeno” because she and her ponies are a xenos from Warhammer 40K and hate humans?
Background Pony #6255
Y’know, replacing the “phobe” part of “xenophobe” with “lestia” makes for an annoyingly non-specific term.
 
Anyway, y’all who like cynical interpretations of Celestia as evil, corrupt, incompetent, cruel, or otherwise contrary to her portrayal on the show, feel free to have fun with this image.
