Except here you’re not dehumanizing as much as working against anthropomorphization.

You’re not trying to remove a moral status but deny it in the first place. That’s different but the end result of it still seems the same.
The psychological drive behind the urge to call something with a deragatory term is the same in both cases.

Meh. I find that the rhetorical urge to reduce a dichotomy to absurdly general commonalities is the pseudointellectual’s version of a slur.
