  • maryw commented on the word anthropomorphobic

    anthropomorphism: The assigning of human traits to nonhuman animals. I think many people are anthropomorphoebic, afraid of accepting that animals are similar to us, especially in terms of sentience. I think even more people fear the opposite: taking characteristics that should be restricted to nonhuman animals and assigning them to humans.

    (Author spelled it “anthropomorphoebic” but I’m inserting comment here as well.)
