      Probably because a lot of it is real fucked up, and makes people uncomfortable.

      Like female bedbugs not having vaginas and so males have a sharp penis and literally stab the females with it often resulting in death of the female, because it’s literally just an open wound.

      Further, male angler fish only exist to find the female, touch her, get stuck to her, and get absorbed by her body until all that’s left is the testes, now absorbed by and part of the female. The female can hold multiple testes of multiple males inside of her and choose to self-impregnate whenever she chooses.

      Don’t even get me started on felines and spiny penises so the female can’t escape once the male has entered.

      Like a huge amount of animal sex is rape.

      Yeah I don’t spend my time reporting it because all it does is remind me how lucky I am to be human and be able to have a consensual, loving relationship with another human.

        I think the point is, human discomfort shouldn’t play a role in scientific reporting. Humans have projected a lot of human social elements (sex and gender roles, etc) onto animals and called it science, but it’s not objective. If we are self censoring, we can’t effectively share knowledge with others and we might miss important things down the line.

        Pretty much all duck sex. Sometimes males will gang rape a female to death.

        The documentary on koalas I watched 2-3 decades ago was kind of traumatizing.

        Is it bad that part of me is like “GOOD!” because, “fuck bed bugs!”?

        I’m pretty sure female bedbugs do have vaginas and it’s just that the males don’t care. Also it’s somehow better if they stab them.
