Chimps and bonobos share a common ancestor, and diverged after diverging from genus Homo, so they're equidistant from humans, in terms of phylogeny.

Also the chimp would also hide it in their example A while back, an orangutan escaped at a zoo, and he basically just... Went to the zoo, same as a human would. They found him and put them back in his cage, he had a great day. If a chimp gets out, you flee the park before somebody dies

The Murders in the Rue Morgue example seems especially egregious because the entire point was that the murder seemed impossible because the murderer must have done things that a human explicitly cannot do. Of course, that won't stop the sufficiently racist.

"Orangutan" is from Malay for "forest person" so they've been seen as intelligent for a long time.

Outrail posted:Of all the primates to use as a derogatory metaphor why the orangutang? They're awesome. I want to be a chill old man of the forest and occasionally poop on tourists. By this point the specifics of why organutang was covered by the quoted post. I'll just add on to say that monkeys are Uncanny Valley before we even had that concept. Something that looks and behaves human, but isn't. Our violent animalistic progenitors, those are both universal fears really really easily contorted into xenophobia. It's why horror movies can start off as satires and then the sequels make them earnest in their misogyny and bloodlust.

Chimpanzees are terrifying. I don’t even like being too close to regular monkeys though to be fair. I went to a monkey temple once in Thailand where it was just an old disused temple in the middle of town that a bunch of monkeys lived in/at now, and they come right up to tourists expecting food. They’ll jump onto you and crawl up your leg trying to get into your pockets and bags, too. I didn’t want any part of that, partly because I noticed that, obviously, when the monkeys weren’t hanging out at the temple mobbing tourists they were going out into town to raid dumpsters. Every so often one of them would put a hand wrong while climbing around on the power poles and get cooked. There were two park rangers at the temple, a man and a woman. The woman was walking around making sure the monkeys didn’t get too fresh with the tourists and tsk-tsking at them as she gently but firmly pulled them out of people’s hair. She had a sealed bag of little balloons filled with sugar water that she would hand out as treats; the monkeys would take them and pierce the balloons with their teeth so they could suck out the liquid. The man was wearing a cowboy hat and mirrored sunglasses and carrying a two-meter bamboo stick, and everywhere he walked there was a two-meter radius of zero monkeys. You know they tell you not to bare your teeth at monkeys because it’s a threat display? As this dude walked around the monkeys would scatter and retreat to a safe distance, then turn back and bare their teeth at him as wide as they could. I hoped he locked his windows at night. He saw that unlike the people I had come there with I didn’t want the little shits to be climbing on me with their trash fingers, so he walked back over to the guard shack and got a spare bamboo stick. He handed it to me and suddenly everywhere I walked there was a two-meter clear circle too. I said thanks and gave him a thumbs-up. I don’t think it’s good for people and monkeys to live that close to each other.

I visited an orangutan sanctuary in Borneo where they free roam the trees above you. They lay out food each day where you can see them gather which helps them raise funds for operational costs. We had a 20 minute briefing on the do's and don'ts of how to behave around them. No camera tripods because they look like rifles, many of the orangutans had been shot at, or their mothers shot, so they will attack anyone with a "gun". No yelling or raised voices for the same reason. Also apparently the mature male will attack infants and children that cry so it was suggested to not bring any young children into the sanctuary for their own safety.

From that thread: ejstheman Jul 22, 2008 19:22 Reg Date: Feb 11, 2004 On the off chance this isn't a retarded troll, you might want to consider your actions more carefully in the future. What would happen if everybody posted a message for 90,000 people to see, any time they needed a hand with something like this? That is, imagine that 90,000 people each posted messages like this with the same frequency that you do (i.e. one per year) There are 365 days in a year, so that's about 250 messages a day. If people did that on SA, nobody would buy accounts or post anything worthwhile, because the board would be choking on spam, so of course it is against the rules. You need to think this stuff through. -------------------------------------- Imagine a community with that many active members.
