Why are people so resistant to the thought of feathered dinosaurs? Nobody says an eagle or a cassowary are not badass
>>5044082It's mostly disingenuous creationists seething at anything that proves evolution
my hecking dinosaur movies broo
Armchair faggots who don't know anything and only see small birds around them so its all they know.
>>5044082Some good explanations posted so far, but don't forget about autists who hate change.>I learned this thing in grade school!>Now you're telling me Mrs. Breckenridge was WRONG and I have to RELEARN things?!>NONONONONONONOSame deal with "Pluto is a planet!!!!1!" posters
>>50440821. Creationist faggots coping.2. Edgy retards who got all their dino information from Jurassic Park.
>>5044082Humanity craves dragons. Feathered dinos are further from dragons.
>>5044290I actually think the root of the problem lies here; that some faggots are going to push for feathered dragons in fantasy, and the discourse will pollute /tg/ for years
The age of mammals will end.
>>5044082because they are trying to put feathers in all of the dinosaurs
>>5044258This>inb4 paleoschizo
>>5044291They already did the push, the fantasy equivalent to this is the wyvern vs dragons debate, where the wyvern design is pushed solely for realism more often than not.
>>5044303if its not the welsh dragon its not a dragon
>>5044082It's because it's mainly fags that don't go outside and aren't familiar with animals that whine any this. Ever few weeks or so one of them will make a thread on /pol/ claiming feathered dinosaurs are a psyop to demoralise kids
>>5044294Mammals like Repenomamus hunted dinosaurs
>>5044338>huntedMore like scavenged
>>5044295>because they are trying to put feathers in all of the dinosaursEven the one with 500 teeth?
>>5044082they're notyou're making shit up to start an argument again
>>5044353>he hasn't run into the no-feathers-on-dinos!! posters yetWelcome to /an/, enjoy your stay new friend
>>5044369>one schizo on /an/ is a crowd of real peopleyou schizo
>>5044340The Psittacosaurus and Repenomamus died entralaced on each other. They were fighting
>>5044379I think there's a couple of them, so sue me
>>5044400you think a board that gets less than one post per two minutes has more than one retarded schizophrenic creationist lurking all day every day?there's so few people here whenever I talk to anyone on this board I assume they're that dumbass. I assume you are that dumbass. I know he's here because I just talked to him in another thread. And I know it's the middle of the fucking night and there's probably only one person here aside from me. Which means you are almost certainly the dumbass in question.
>>5044402>you must be himNah, dinosaurs had feathers. You might be right and it's one guy, but I can disagree if I wanna, and the more you act like a fag the more I wanna
>>5044082The main sticking point for me relates to the insistence that large carnosaurs were feathered, despite literally 0 evidence for such claims. Yes, many later carnivorous dinosaurs were feathered - though, they were exponentially smaller and more specialized, as well. A t-rex is not the same thing as an archaeopteryx. They're both dinosaurs, but are otherwise completely different - the latter feathered, the former currently without any evidence of feathers to speak of entirely.
Nobody seriously rejects the fact that SOME dinosaurs had feathers. What people are resistant to, is your troon accelerationism. You tried pushing all kinds of weird shit like giving t.rex puffy dick sucking lips and painting Raptors as whatever random modern bird you saw last to make them as unappealing to young straight White boys as possible. Well tough shit troons people noticed and we won't be accepting the lgbtsaurus.
>>5044303GRRM is a faggot
>>5044608Skyrim and GRRM were disasters for the proper draconic raceWelsh dragons and Chinese dragons are the only real types, anything else is mental illness
Because of the contrarians that keep going>this fossil shows feather-like structures on this small raptor>okay now look at my picture of apatosaurus as a peacock
>>5044399(Assuming this fossil was real, I think(?) there was some sketchy details on how the fossil was obtained) The psittacosaurus skeleton in the fossil does look to be 'resting' since it has its tail curled up and is laying down, which would be more consistent with it being a carcass, then got buried alongside a scavenging repenomamus. Though we already know repeno did eat their babies/juveniles so they already do 'predate' on them.
>>5044611chinese dragon is not a real dragon, its lindwurm
>>5044713Dragons aren't real
>>5044249>pluto is not a planet because deshawn can't remember all those other planets!!!!!!great argument
>>5044761what an idiot
>>5044598kek, that's a good impression
>>5044765cope, tard
>>5044598>meanwhile, young straight White boys:>Anya the cuddleraptor is my waifu
>>5044771>he doesn't understand his mistake>he still thinks he's in an argument
>>5044778>he sucks my cockermm...awkward....
>>5044598Why should young straight white boys dislike feathers? What about old lesbian black women?
>>5044082>Why are people so resistant to the thought of feathered dinosaurs?Because non-people are so insistent to the suggestion of feathered dinosaurs.
yes..
>>5044082An eagle or a cassowary are not badass
>>5044082The lack of evidence for feathered dinosaurs outside of Coelurosauria and even within Coelurosauria, conflicting evidence with some species showing (proto-)feathers and others showing scales with the exception of Maniraptora.It is sensible to depict Microraptor with feathers, including flight feathers.It is sensible to depict Deinonychus with feathers, though flight feathers become increasingly questionable the larger the maniraptoran gets (compare modern flightless birds and reduction of flight feathers/forelimbs).It is not sensible to depict Tyrannosaurus with feathers when we have found numerous scaly skin impressions of it, and not a single feather.It is utterly retarded to depict Triceratops or Diplodocus with feathers when neither they, nor their relatives demonstrate feathers in any way, shape or form.
>>5046656>>5044598Fossils like Kulindadromeus and Tianyulong heavily suggest feathers were basal to dinosaurs as do pterosaur pycnofibers. I'm sorry you're too retarded
>>5044291>>5044303>>5044323>>5044608>>5044611yeah I hate how they ruined dragons. A dragon is a huge snake, that's what the word draco means in greek. A huge snake that causes tornadoes. but woke liberals decided to add legs to it to destroy the white race and here we are
>>5046670kek
>>5046668>Fossils like Kulindadromeus and Tianyulong heavily suggest feathers were basal to dinosaursBoth bristles at best. NOT feathers.Also, how can you be "basal" when the first dinosaurs like Eoraptor existed around 230mya?>>5046668>I'm sorry you're too retardedYou clearly can't read.>>5046838>>5046670>>5044082>Another OP feathered dinosaur samefag thread which isn't saying anything new that hasn't been debunked a million times before. How sad.
>>5046852
>>5046854>child posts a meme.>Yet the child wants to be taken seriously at the same time.
>>5046857You are a ridiculous person.
>>5046670no, draco is latin, the greek is drakon, which is derived from derkomai, which means "the one who sees", this is semitic psyop
>>5044082Feathered dinosaurs are cool.
>>5044082it's just pop culture
>>5044249Pluto was 'demoted' because they were discovering too many planets and it was annoying the astronomer's union. It was a VERY narrow vote.
>>5047002Yeah, that's what the pic is saying. If Pluto was still a planet we'd go from nine planets to like 26 or more, and that's plain silly.
>>5044249>Some good explanations posted so far, but don't forget about autists who hate change.>>I learned this thing in grade school!>>Now you're telling me Mrs. Breckenridge was WRONG and I have to RELEARN things?!You are autistic. Autistics copying little popular factoids without learning the meaning, reason or intention. >Same deal with "Pluto is a planet!!!!1!" postersIt literally is... It doesn't magically not become a planet because of an academic committee that simply wants to draw attention to itself.>>5047011>Yeah, that's what the pic is saying. If Pluto was still a planet we'd go from nine planets to like 26 or more, and that's plain silly.That doesn't logically follow at all.Eris would be the only additional planet because it is the only one larger than Pluto.Basically the International Astronomical Union (IAU) told you to do something just because and you did it just because.
>>5044249Pluto is a planet faggot
>>5044294Okay Pierre, whatever makes you feel better.
>>5047032>calls others autistic>is obviously autistic
>>5047032>this retard doesn't understand planets aren't a natural classification, they're literally invented by humans
>>5047040>Anon calls himself out again...>Absolutely zero self-awareness...
>>5047048>autistic retard uses "NO U!">but sadly, it's not 2012 anymore
>>5047043>This tard still insists on calling things planets despite the fact that "planet" is in his own words "a human invention".
>>5047051>>5047040>>calls others autistic>>5044249>autists who hate change.Anon has absolutely zero self awareness.Due to suffering from...
>>5047055>suffering fromRetarded autists like you
>>5046852Kulindadromeus has complex feathers, not just bristles. Via phylogenetic bracketing, it suggests even the most basal dinosaurs like Eoraptor had complex plumes
>>5047011It's not silly if that's reality. The issue with "dwarf planet" is it is effectively meaningless, the definition actually invalidates Neptune (Pluto intersects it, so it hasn't properly cleared its orbit, thus making Neptune a "dwarf" as well) and was created specifically to demote Pluto and for no other reason. A solution in search of a problem. And while an argument could be made that Kuiper Belt objects are a different category than terrestrials or gas giants, that doesn't make them non-planets.Really there's a greater argument to be made that gas giants aren't planets than that Pluto isn't one. Pluto has far more in common with Earth than Earth does with Jupiter, and Jupiter has far more in common with the Sun than it does with Earth.
>>5047082>Kulindadromeus has complex feathersLiterally didn't..."The specimens assigned to Daurosaurus and Kulindapteryx also include preserved integument on the humerus: "oval platy scales" and bristles. The latter reportedly has longer bristles">>5047082>Via phylogenetic bracketingSome extinct lemurs built civilizations before humans came around thanks to phylogenetic bracketing.
>>5047065>mirror mirror on the wall.
>>5047082>Kulindadromeus>trusting "the science" of some communist shithole that can't even make a cool name with actual meaningThe fuck is a "kulinda" some turkic term for chickenfucking or something?
>>5047140some location in siberia
>>5046668>believing anything the chinese say
>>5047144So indeed a turkic "term" (more like an animalistic growiling).
>>5047153at least its named after a location where it was found rather than some pop culture zoomer speak, we are going to see a bussinsaurus or forrealamus in our lifetime
>dinosaurs without feathers>dinosaurs with feathersBoth exist. Both are fuckin cool. Why is there any argument when dinosaurs are awesome?
>>5047155Pop culture (aka (((khazar))) culture) is also incoherent turkic growing, therefore false dichotomy.
>>5047193Actual turkish mythology would be a hit in germany
>>5047197>thinking mongoloids fucking dogs is a point of pride
>>5047274here king, you dropped this
>>5044082Just more Paleo nerds looking to pick fights. I genuinely can't give a shit what color the crests are on ancient beings that will never see this earth again. It's just pointless bickering and revising to keep the grants flowing.
>>5047297It's funny because after the nearly half millennium long Islamic Golden age this is the only aspect of Arab culture gokturds and their Ottoman descendants managed to preserve.
Feathered dinosaurs are analogous to supporting ukraine, trans rights, the metric system, voting blue no matter who, blm, free palestine, harm reduction, the care she needs, for less than the price of a cup of coffee, walkable cities, baby yoda, and we'll all be dead in 5 minutes bc global warming. I mean climate change.
>>5047384They also preserved the pederasty
>>50473865/10 impression, try to sound more unhinged and less like a stock cable news guy
>>5044340That artist clearly got offended they found a dinosaur killing mammal and had to make up this nonsense doodle to cope. Why are dinofags like this?
>>5047586Because dinosaurs are the superior race according to them, nevermind the fact that only dinosaurs that survived are birds
>>5047583It's true though.
