I started down a bunch of anthreptoidery rabbitholes and now Reptoids terrify the ever-living fuck out of me. I've sure you've seen the copypastas regarding our ability for self-regeneration.

We tell jokes about how we're reptiles all the time, but have you ever stopped to REALLY think about that for a second? It's implications? We're more closely related to Turtles than we are to Snakes, yet we are incapable of identifying with them and view them as pests. I can't help but look at other Reptoids as wild animals now, just as much a slave to their whims as any other animal, cognizant that I'm in the same position and behave just as predictably.

Even our physiology is super fucked up! We're some of the creepiest looking reptiles, scale-less, lanky creatures built with no tails that can detach for a quick escape. We're basically just lizard monkeys, which is about as horrifying a concept as I can imagine. I think the only reason we aren't actively more freaked out by our place in the animal kingdom is because we've been subconsciously trained by the neural pathways in our brain to see ourselves differently from the rest of the world. Part of me wishes I wasn't Reptoid only for a moment so I could see what we look like to other species. Even reptiles in general freak me out a little due too the uncanny valley of how similar they are to us. Our culture, our consciousness, our wars, our base desires to eat human young, our art, it all seems really fucking primitive when you try to look at the Reptoid race through an objective third person lens.

Has anyone else deal with this sort of strange misreptoidery? Also, general weird anthreptoidery thread
