One of the things I've noticed just being a sub 5 and "going outside" and "touching grass" is that dogs are treated better than I am.
I don't mean in the "dogpill" sense I just mean as a class of creature.
Dogs are respected. Affection is shown to them. Deference is shown to them by utter strangers. A dog comes right up to your face and you tell it to fuck off and you're the bad guy. If I did that to someone I would be arrested. But it's a dog, so nothing happens. And moderns are so fawning over them. I had a dog and like dogs, but ffs get a hold of yourself.
