  But can a dog organise your house, cook your food, educate your children and breastfeed your babies?

    Do you have a dog that provably can do all those things just fine and is really obedient? From their point of view, those fascists had dogs which had human abilities, had the intelligence of a human, and were even more obedient than the four-legged dogs. People absolutely will have their robomaid double as a nanny. And the robomaid will also help the kids do their homework while refusing to just give them the solutions. Humans in general really love to not have to do stuff themselves.

      A lot of those people (racist supremacist etc assholes) were also fucking “the help”, and even back then I’m pretty sure it wasn’t considered socially acceptable to fuck animals, nor would anyone ever expect progeny to happen from such. That kinda defeats the argument of non-whites being another species or non-human etc, so it’s more “they’re not human when it comes to rights but human enough for everything else”

        People fuck children. The US has a president who intimately knows a lot of people who literally fuck children.
        Fucking children is socially acceptable right now if you are part of the right circle.
        But there are also a lot of people who fuck children without knowing the US president or the (conveniently deceased) Jeffrey Epstein. They aren’t in that circle and for them, it’s not socially acceptable to fuck children. Yet they still do it.
        When the human sex drive is opposed by social norms, usually the sex drive wins one way or the other. Most people with forbidden fetishes are able to satisfy the drive without actually using the real thing. But there were always some for whom that didn’t work.

        I am pretty sure, slave owners were able to come up with some excuse for fucking their slaves after their horniness raised high enough over the years. And when post-nut clarity set in, they confessed to a priest and were forgiven by god - so it was all fine anyway.
