Reply to comment by EasyBOven in Stories with humanized animals are cute. Stories with animalized humans are terrifying. by NoNo_Cilantro

Then you should be equal open to treating your water bottle with the same level of respect. Don't try to argue that it isn't living, because those are my morals.

It doesn't matter dude. We pick what we want. But thankfully, society mostly aligns with what I consider the most morally outrageous such as rape, murder, etc.

I'm happy to hear an argument about any moral claims.

How fortunate that in a reality where moral opinions are just random chance and not based on anything real, we find ourselves in a society that matches your morality. There can't possibly be an underlying cause for societies making similar moral decisions

Your second paragraph made me laugh. “Based on anything real” dude what part of subjective do you not understand? We have free will. Thankfully, society can mostly agree that killing, raping and a bunch of other stuff is extremely bad. But a whole of us think people like you who take it this far are stupid. We can justify killing and eating an animal. We can’t justify killing a human. You can’t justify killing and eating an animal. I CAN.

This is just an assertion. We don't have to get into the weeds on meta-ethics, but if you want to assert that it's ok to treat an individual as property because "subjective, tho," you're either going to need to concede that you would have to allow people to murder and/or demonstrate subjectivism.

But if you want to circumvent all that nonsense, I'm perfectly willing to have a conversation with you about your moral perspective and see if it can be applied consistently

Yeah me and 90% of the world will continue to do exactly that. Just like we always have.

You can keep asserting that we have to share YOUR beliefs.

Do exactly what? What are you even responding to at this point? Are you making up your own meaning to my sentences now?
