Anthropomorphobia:

[apple_pathways]

Just a quick poll before I run off to work! Inspired by a gif someone posted on a friending meme and on a discussion thread elsewhere.

I have a general squick of anthropomorphism: assigning human qualities to animals and, occasionally, inanimate objects. How crazy am I? ("VERY!")

I tend to have the same reaction to stumbling upon people in animal costumes that most would have about finding a spider in their bathtub. I'd like to wonder "What the HELL were they thinking?", but usually my brain doesn't make it that far! :P

Ah, there we go. Now I have a point of reference. I was having trouble imagining the "Oh GOD no!" reaction, but now all I have to do is replace the man in a bear suit/CG animal atrocity with the giant roach I found in my bathtub at my old apartment. (-:

Roaches I can handle...they're very unlikely to try and hug you!
