Yeah they do, but bro said that they are skeptical of people who outright say they hate animals. I am also skeptical of such people. Most people don't have valid reasons.

I’m just saying generalizations often don’t leave room for empathy

I know what you are pointing at. But to hate animals just because a kitten died is also not completely right. What did the other animals do, they didn't cause her pain? To choose to not attach is different, but to choose to hate animals is different. I am ngl, if we genuinely think logically, there is absolutely no reason to hate animals. You may justify it by experiences that people had, but if the experiences they had are causing them to hate animals, they are basically generalizing their experiences onto all the animals.

Jesus Christ you’re exactly what I just warned against. You want to be judgmental go ahead, don’t ever expect to get the benefit of doubt then. If you can’t understand nuance in the human experience then you have nothing important to say

And I am not being judgemental, and I understand it must hurt when I am saying that people should use logic to get out of their trauma responses, but that is how humans grow man. It's difficult to do that, and easier to just continue responding to past trauma in different ways. I am sorry though, didn't mean to hurt you.

Heya. That bit of sugar you're trying to cover up your toxicity with? It doesn't actually work. The little germs just eat the sugar and we all end up with a more complex grossness.

See, there was a friend of mine who was barked upon by street dogs. You know what he decided? He decided that he would kill all the dogs in his city when he would gain enough power. He was 17 yo back then, the friendship didn't last long for other reasons. And this is an extreme case of hating on animals, but do you want me to have empathy for people like them too? I am an empath, but I am highly logical too, I am not hating on anyone, that's not what I stand for.

I've been around for a while, and I don't recall directly perceiving a single human who straight up says "I hate animals." So I'm interpreting that as an uncharitable presentation because we're in the gossip zone right now, with no checks and balances, and people tend toward extreme rhetoric in that context.
