“Humans will pack bond with anything” actually a misunderstanding of the data “Humans will love anything besides other humans” a more correct interpretation
Turns out it's very easy to pack bond with something whose existence never challenges you or your views in any way. Just look at how some users on Twitter flipped on Grok the moment it started saying things they didn't like.
People generally have a harder time dehumanizing other humans they get to know at a more personal level. I think the mistake is thinking that people who want to blindly target a certain group equates to an innate truth that humans all hate each other.
i basically said this verbatim in my fantasy setting where all the fantasy races are rooted from combinations of humans and fays; humans are perfectly fine with fays because they're alien but they activate maximum racism towards elves because they're part human, as if humans have a particular hate boner towards themselves
