>“n-no pokephilia isn’t the same as zoophilia, I really do love pokemon and consider them as intelligent as humans! I-I don’t subconsciously want to fuck dogs!”

None of you see pokemon as intelligent creatures lol. To you, they’re an exotic piece of meat you desire to have a piece of, which you can conveniently “own” and carry around in a compact prison that can fit your bag. You literally have the same dynamic as a slaver and their slaves. Deep down, you look down on pokemon as submissive and inferior beings. And also deep down, you know that you’re one step away from dressing up your family dog in pink ribbons, because you refuse to take serious psychological help.

However, with all that said, you’re not as awful as pedophiles. Still awful, mind you, but the pedos are already that close to becoming despicable predators.
