Great Unclean One: VK Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 So anyone here would want a rabbit, ferret, mongoose, weasel, or any furry critter as a pet? Honestly, would makes these things cute? Is it big eyes? Being small? If these are cute, why aren't human kids or babies cute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desu the Blue Nerd Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 It seems like my responses to your threads tend to have videos in them. Or at least the two I actually know I've commented on. Although this one is actually kind of relevant. I don't really find babies all that cute either but maybe this video will still help to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 People derive cuteness from the ability for something to represent something threatening while being non-threatening in of itself. Kittens and similar creatures, for instance, have the wild agility of large and dangerous beasts but are harmless to us. In seeing a kitten up to its shenanigans, we are belittling and dominating a jaguar. The satisfaction in coddling a teddy bear is the enslavement and castration of a grizzly bear, enslavement and castration being wonderful sources of joy to the human psyche. When tweens refer to something or someone as "sooooooooooo cute", they are really saying "I'm a psychotic fascist and want to control the movement of your lungs". The white people who express that they find black babies especially cute do so because of a fear, perhaps subconscious but a fear nonetheless, of black people and a desire to enslave and/or castrate them that is greater than for people of other races. Much can be learned from this principle, which is why I'm spending so much time explaining it. It is of critical importance to recognize this because once we do, we can conquer all of our fears by directing ourselves to a power so high that all else is proportionately miniscule, so much so that they might as well be equal when juxtaposed to the supreme power.

Tentacruel Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Not quite. From what I understand, we find things cute that share similarities with human babies because we have a natural desire to protect our young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coral Blue Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I own a Chinchilla! His name is potato. :3 That's awesome! If I get one, I'm naming it Killa. It'll be my Killa Chinchilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperyena Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Not quite. From what I understand, we find things cute that share similarities with human babies because we have a natural desire to protect our young. Actually, I find pretty much every baby ugly as hell, and I hate babies. I think Lil Wayne's explanation of it is a little more accurate, but both the video and his explanations have something to do about it, I think.

DragonDust Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I can't remember where, but I once read that kittens were voted one of the all time most cutest things in the world. I should know! On time I let a stray cat in and she had six kittens in my other cats bed. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
