I just do the things to her that I do to my dog, because I love my dog more.
Ah, I see — we’re calling this healthy now.

You assume that’s an accurate conclusion.
They were likely taught to display affection towards animals, as a child, without similar instruction regarding people, and are now reasoning backwards from these learned behaviors.
“I display more affection towards my dog, therefore I must like my dog more.” rather than “I like my dog more, therefore I display more affection towards it.”

I literally quoted their TL;DR.
What you’re trying to suggest is essentially saying ‘Yeah it’s totally fine to think you love your dog more than you love your girlfriend, it’s 100% healthy to treat your human girlfriend like you would an animal’.
Dude, what the fuck, I know Trump is president but let’s not speedrun our way back to the 40’s that quickly. This is either fake or the definition of unhealthy.

Yeah, a species tends to hate it’s own members the mist I noticed. Like, cats and dogs hate their own species, but cuddle up to humans.
We have other reasons to avoid cuddling humans, like people just assume there must be something sexual about it.
A bunch of times I felt like just cuddling grown ass humans anyway.
