From the domestication of the dog to the concept of werewolves to even pagan deities, canines occupy a special place in the human mind. Why is this?(And about werewolves, why are they the go-to for animal-man hybrids and other hybrids like human-bear/lion/fish/boar/etc. creatures aren't nearly so popular?)
>>4843654Humans back then were apes with wolf soulsThese days humans are macaques with husky souls and every now and then one is born with enough mental disorders to classify as a rat soul or a cat soul
>>4843654Aesthetically pleasing and socially similar to humansWhen technology advances far enough we will finally finish what our ancestors started and become one with them
I think it's only the amount of familiaritya dog is a pet that you get more contact with than any other animal you keepyou don't let horses indoors (cave, tent, whatever) and associating with livestock is degradingalso, they have a similar social structure to humans, so canines are way more sociable then anything else you meet
>>4843654They don't"Dog" is an insult in virtually every developed nation's language except negro-AmericanThey were once useful tool with no more "affinity" than cattle or sheep, and every developed nation recognizes that comparing someone to a dog is fighting words at the very minimum
>>4843697lucky dogtop dogpuppy eyesetc.retardplus personal names like Wolfgang, Vuk, and Lupo, to say nothing of Native American naming conventions
>>4843654Because we have been working together for countless generations
>>4843697Child is an insult. Children bad?You bet rabbi. Dog hate is semitic.
>>4843712he did post a comic based on a jewish myth so why wouldnt he be expressing some objectively wrong sand person opinionsthat region of the planet produces amazing amounts of delirium. it’s the heat.
The humans that did not form symbiosis with dogs continued to be prey upon by leopards and giant hyenas. Primitive human expansion into siberia didn't happen until they domesticated dog.
>>4843668ok so why were human back then apes with wolf souls? why wolf? we're not so related taxonomically.
>>4843654At least from what I gather it's because wolves and canids in general are one of the most familiar animals to us, and that wolves were often seen as prowling predators of the night (& the whole howling at the moon thing) so it would make sense for multiple cultures to develop a werewolf myth. Also I guess it's the name and animal sounds better. Werewolf sounds a lot more appealing than say a werelion or weremonkey
>>4843697>"Dog" is an insult in virtually every developed nation's languageSuch as?
>>4843843some regional dialects of english lolif that's a strike against dogs, god forgive whatever female cats (aka pussies), women, children, and old men did for their terms to be so insulting
>>4843720I feel like this is based, but I genuinely cannot understand what the fuck it's trying to say. Can you turn ESL off?
>>4843851Desert people are retarded so they have retarded customs & opinions
>>4843839>img nameYeah I agree ngl, They are a testament to how utterly dogshit Toriyama (God rest his soul)'s world-building can be sometimes. We're somehow supposed to believe these utter, looting, murdering, empathy-defiecient, planet-stealing space-negroes somehow had a society capable of space-travel, despite being so dangerous and unpredictable? They would constantly be trying to murder their associates/higher-ups/family members/ etc. I have no sympathy for their plight by Frieza's hands. Oh well, at least OG Dragon BAll's Oozaru still looks cool (the ones shown in Z just look so goofy and stupid)
>>4843697You have said this before in your "cats are aryan" thread not long ago. It was retarded and still is. Calling someone a dog infers you are above them in terms of respect. Calling someone a pussy means they are a coward and not a man. Even when used in its inteneded purpose "dogs of war" are still men doing masculine things but in a barbaric manner, but you dont have "pussys of war".So sit your ass down faggot.
>>4843654because man best friemd
>>4843701This, it isn't a far stretch to say that humans and dogs evolved together to the point where most humans just have an instinctual affinity towards them.
>catfag thinks he's so smart with his dog hate>gets intellectually beat to shit and has his proverbial face rubbed in the mudThis has happened over and over and over again for almost 100 years now, starting with the likes of lovecraft.>throw a stick and the dog... but the ca->*ties feather to stick* you were sayingWhen will catfags simply learn to stop starting console wars? If they just left well enough alone the only people they'd have enmity with would be "bird people"Oh, I know the problem. Outdoor cats keep getting eaten by dogs hence the bitterness, right? Just keep your cat on your property lol imagine people being bitter about fence climbing dogs being eaten by well contained pet tigers lmao they'd look like idiots
>>4843668Is it bad that I fully believe it? There are still wolf souled humans around, but they're rare. From what I've seen, wolf souled humans are way more "real" than other people. This isnt alpha or sigma male bullshit, I really think humans are divided by wolf soul vs dog soul.
>>4843678jew.
>>4844383You are describing IQ. The presence and self awareness of people around 120+ is noticeble compared to the baseline of 90-110 that is common in general populations. It is not something you can fake either. It is easy to spot pseudo intellectuals because over time you will discover their self awareness or presence is nil. This does not make low IQ people lesser, but it does contribute to how they act and live their lives. Making poor decisions that they would not do if they were capable of having deeper insight.So from a more materialist you are right. There are wolf souls amongst sheep, to put it into another allegory.
>>4844399That could kinda be it, but not exactly what I meant. Wolf souls are wild. There are smart wolves and dumb wolves. Wolves are way more sentient than dogs, and even a dumber wolf will act in a more calculated, intelligent way than a smart dog. Hope you get what I'm saying, I've never put this into words before
>>4843654>why do humans have an affinity for a persistence hunter animal that lives in pack with strong hierarchyit's a real mystery!neolithic grug love biter
>>4844103dogs fall in with slovenly wolves and foxes and jackals and coyotes and dingoes and painted hyaenas, whilst cats walk proudly with the jungle’s lords, and own the haughty lion, the sinuous leopard, the regal tiger, and the shapely panther and jaguar as their kin.
>>4844450Your pic is a cat stuck in a tree. No further comment is needed.
>>4844450Wolves are pretty cool, exclusively heterosexual, and live in family units resembling hunter gatherers, while lions are matriarchal africans and have gay sex so…
>>4843654dog + spearman = apex predator
>>4843882I've always thought "dogs of war" was just a colourful euphemism (or dysphemism) for mercenaries. Which I suppose is a strange choice, as "regulars" would theoretically be the "useful animal loyal to its owner"
>>4843882Also cats are the Semites of the pet world, and Semitic choice of pet through and through.
>>4843697Not in Germany and Germanic countries
>>4844674Schweinehund
>catfags try to console war TWICE in a thread with 0 mention of cats>get btfo hard each timeThey never learn, do they?Do catfags actually hold these gay reddit opinions or are they just mewling for dogchads attention?
>>4844676>SchweinehundA term for a dog used in the hunting of boars that was once used to describe snappy people and is currently rarely used to describe a lazy person with a lack of drive. If you tried to insult a German by calling them a dog or even a Schweinehund they would laugh at you because dogs are heavily intertwined with German culture and society. They'd also probably view you as some American GI time traveller with a poor grasp of the German language and culture

They just appeal to hooman brain aesthetically and emotionally thus despite being obsessed, hoomans also always wanted to have sex with them. just take a look at furry porn, it’s almost all canids.
>>4844707I don't think about furry porn at all but clearly you spend a lot of time doing that.Are you sure that's not because most furries are homosexuals, and conversely, most homosexuals are pedophiles, and bestiality and pedophilia are highly correlated because animals are child-like but can't tell their parents about what the furfag is doing?
>>4844724trvth nvkefurfag tried to insist fucking dogs is natural or traditional, lmfao. bestiality has always been punished with death, going back before the caveman days. pre-christian pagans have murals of people reacting to zoosadists with abject horror and disgust.
>>4844734lol, do you even know about the turks?
>>4844734While i'm not going to argue that it's natural or traditional or whatever, to say that pre-christian europeans didn't fuck animals is kinda silly. Indo-european cultures are rife with rituals involving things like a king shagging a horse, or gods turning into animals and siring divine children. The historical consensus is that it wasn't extremely common, but also wasn't a big enough deal to be legally forbidden before the introduction of judeo-christian moral standards. People in antiquity just weren't the same as we are today in many ways.
>>4844833Not enough people did it to necessitate a law (unlike the middle east). Just common sense: dont do it, kill those who do.
>>4844836If something was worth killing someone over, it almost always entered a kingdom's civil laws. You see this reflected in christian and medieval europe up to the 19th century. People care too much about people being killed to just not mention it.
>>4844843Even in the famously gentle 19th and early 20th centuries most of europe had stopped killing people over it
What this bestiality condoner isn't telling you is that the vast majority of animal fucking targets large herbivorous livestockIt's sad but there is very little we can do to protect them from this. Dogs on the other hand can't be fucked without sustaining obvious injuries and it's very common for dog abusing zoophiles to be caught with CP and horrifically injured animals because most of them are just homosexual pedophiles coping with a lack of access to children.
>>4844851>It's sad but there is very little we can do to protect them from thisTotal ban on ranching. All livestock kept in factory farms with video surveillance. Suffering issue mitigated with constant THCa infusions directly into the CSF.
>condonerLook man you're the one spouting historical claims which aren't backed up by the facts, that's all the point of me replying was
>>4843697>"Dog" is an insult in virtually every developed nation's language except negro-AmericanWrong. Were that true, Big Momma would've never performedhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=yoHDrzw-RPg
>4844900Have you considered seeing a therapist for your violent fantasies?
>>4843654Because they're about 10,000 years older as domesticated animals than cats and beasts of burden, OP. Wild wolves literally started eating the scraps from human societies in prehistoric times and started coming around more and more as they realized that doing so was more productive than feast-or-famine hunting.Humans have been working together with canines for a truly incomprehensible amount of time, and they're one of the few species on the planet to come to us and join our societies, rather than having to be selectively bred to be more docile.
>>4843654From an anthropological perspective canids are social animals and therefore resemble humans in their socialization. Humans and dogs can bond on a level that both are capable of udnerstanding empathetically. From a psychological perspective dogs are our idealized selves. They live uncomplicated joyous lives and take pleasure in all the little things. They bond deeply and love unconditionally.
>>4845001>10,00020 to 30k
Lol somebody just got IP wiped
Bump
>>4843654Humans have an ability to care for others, beyond or closest family and even our species. That is what makes humans able to build a civilisation and not just a small society. Low trust, dog hating societies do not go far.
>>4843654>(And about werewolves, why are they the go-to for animal-man hybrids and other hybrids like human-bear/lion/fish/boar/etc. creatures aren't nearly so popular?)They're from around the medieval period and the idea of a half wolf half man nonste was horrifying to people because wolves were a very real problem to them
>>4847489This, it's no wonder that most third worlders hate animals, they're just from inferior and backwards societies
>>4843724We evolved to fill the same niche: Social predators who while alone aren't a big deal but preform amazing in a group
>>4843654Wolves and jackals were also deeply hated and exterminated with no mercy for a large part of human history.
>>4847638so were any humans that didn't bow to the same statues or make the same funny monkey noises as each other
>>4843654Humans don't just love canines. Once upon a time humans loved all animals and lived in peace with them. Canine worship is a recent thing. There is nothing special about dogs. You can easily befriend any other animal, it's just that we wiped all of the other species off the face of the earth and now they only exist in zoos where they are caged, understimulated and depressed
>>4847638This. Certain canines like coyotes, jackals, wolves, bears and pitbulls are either or hated and exterminated or both in the modern day. Its stupid to think there's anything special about dogs/wolves that endears us to them. If anything, it's because we've bred them to be unnatural, pathetic creatures with little resemblance to their natural species of origin. We've trapped them, bred them and made them nonthreatening. This doesn't apply to pitbulls though which is why they're so widely hated
>>4847638>Wolves and jackalsIf you are talking about livestock sure.>>4847803>Its stupid to think there's anything special about dogs/wolves that endears us to them. If anything, it's because we've bred them to be unnatural, pathetic creatures with little resemblance to their natural species of origin.Dogs were essential as far back as early nomadic cultures before the advent of agriculture. Their social structure and practicality is what makes them endearing along with thousands of years of societal/cultural evolution alongside their own evolution into different breeds. Regardless of how stupid modern dogs may be, they are still highly intelligent in comparison to most other companion animals humans have domesticated.
>>4847803“We” are not a bunch of malnourished peasants and sheep fuckers. Those were dark times for everything.
