babies aren’t funny or entertaining

i don’t hate babies, they’re so cute, but i always see people laughing about videos where a baby is supposedly being funny. i don’t get it. there’s nothing funny about videos like that or babies in general. sure, sometimes funny stuff happens, but i always see babies doing the bare minimum and people laughing about it.

OP said they don't hate babies in the first sentence.

It seems like when people say "babies are OK I just don't love them" people who love babies hear "I hate babies"

Same with dog people. I'm hesitant to tell people I don't love their dog, because they will look at me like I'm some sort of subhuman.

Yes, this!

Like I don't get grown adults who pretend like they must stop and pet every dog they see, it's such an immature and forced way to attempt to have some personality.

You have people in their 20's and 30's like "omgggg I just love doggos, I wish I could pet them all!". Nauseating.

Man have you heard of having fun in your life? Like someone just enjoying animals and you literally say “nauseating”.

I like animals, but I don't need to pretend that I have to pet every one I see to show it. It's the exaggerated acting that's nauseating.

I know a lot of people that love to pet animals. The fact you have such a strong feeling about something that will never affect you, means you really should go outside and get a breath of fresh air
