Reply to comment by drsillyus in The fact that Cats are far more dangerous than Wolf Spiders, yet we love them far more and are far less afraid of them, says a lot about how humans value physical appearance in creatures by Run_MCID37

No, it would be like saying all cats of a certain size, not all mammals.

I didn't say all arachnids, I pointed out how a wolf spider looks like a hobo spider and is roughly the same size as a brown recluse. Both are deadly. All inhabit the same area

There is a reason that has zero to do with aesthetics

Generalizing is literally ok in this context

I know to stay away from big cats vs small. I know the difference.

But just because i know some spiders are deadly... I'm gonna generalize the fk out of them. All of them. I don't give shit if it's a daddy long leg. Touch me and die

And yet you are more likely to die from a disease your cat gives you.

People are funny.
