I'm going to assume that was a rhetorical question. 99.963% of the ugly, woke crowd have never done anything athletic in their lives. I'm actually surprised she didn't hit herself with it.
That's because athletic competition is the personification of toxic masculinity.

African apes (gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos) diverged from a common ancestor about 5 million years ago and belong to the family Hominidae.
Gorillas are one of our closest living relatives, after chimpanzees and bonobos. They share between 95% and 99% of our DNA!
Gorillas and chimpanzees walk quadrupedally (on all fours) and use their knuckles to carry the weight of their head and torso.
There are two different gorilla species (each with two sub-species). The Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) has the sub-species: Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli); while the Eastern Gorilla (Gorilla beringei) has the sub-species: Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) and Eastern Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri). All species are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting amongst other threats, however the Cross River Gorilla is the rarest with fewer than 300 wild individuals remaining in eight small isolated populations in Nigeria and Cameroon.
Scientist have shown that gorillas display individual personalities.
Gorillas have been observed displaying emotions such as grief and compassion for other primates, including humans.
Females will start giving birth at about 10 years old and will have offspring every 3-4 years. When in oestrus she will be able to conceive for only three days in the month.
Gorillas have a gestation period of nine months like humans, but babies usually weigh less than humans at approximately 4 pounds, their development is however roughly twice as fast.
Gorillas spend a good deal of their time on the ground rather than in the trees, and will make new nests on the ground each night.
Gorillas were seen for the first time using simple tools to perform tasks in the wild in 2005. They were observed using sticks to test the depth of muddy water and to cross swampy areas.
In Mountain gorillas, the ‘belch vocalization’ is a contact call and sign of contentment while foraging. Most gorillas will use a low grumbling sound to both locate each other and as sign of contentment. Aggressive displays, such as the beating of chests and charging are quite rare but will be used by male gorillas as a warning if surprised or threatened.
Although gorillas are generally quiet, they have a range of complex vocalisations which are used to communicate information in numerous contexts including teaching survival skills to young, searching for food, and during courtship. Like some other apes such as chimpanzees and orangutans they are even capable of learning basic human sign language.

There has to be some Jane Goodall inspired pr0n movie genre. The andy7171 of 2011 would be very disappointed in himself 10 years later.

We're making this into a thread about gorillas and gorilla-adjacent stuff instead of a veiled attempt at racism? Hell yeah.

:lol: It's a funny movie, it's fairly light hearted.

It really is. Every time Mrs.CCU asks if I know where i'm going, I reply, " We'll just pull in somewheres and ask directions."

Who is the RIP for?
