I'm watching an anime called Guin Saga, based on a medieval epic series of novels written in Japan, from 1979 till now, with considerable inspiration from Robert E. Howards, Conan the Barbarian. Anyway, there is a race of ape people (not necessarily "bad" by default, like orcs or goblins and so on) and I'm really biased against them. It's just, for some reason, Non-Human hominids, namely, monkeys, apes, and so forth (not Prehistoric Neanderthals for example), I find just "annoying." I've never liked apes, monkeys, chimps, and so forth, and I'm having a hard time understanding why. They are a popular motif in various cultures and mythologies, something I do enjoy reading about. But they just seem "off" for being an "animal." Maybe it's because they are too human-like but not quite human. Not uncanny valley however. That being said, I don't have a good reason, or even an easily discernible reason, for disliking them.
Anyway, feel free to comment on my idiosyncracies. Does anyone else just dislike something without any good reason?
