I once knew a lady who was terrified of red pandas for exactly this reason, the fact they would stand on two legs "like a human" despite not being human just freaked her out. So maybe there's something to it.
I hope she never sees a sun bear.
Sun bears are definitely justifiably cursed.
So when she first said this. It was long ago, a time when red pandas were much less popular. So many in the group did not know what they looked like, I among them. From her fear, I inferred it must be something like, well, a panda, but red, and maybe skinnier and freakier. Then she pulled up a picture, and everybody lost it
Hope she never sees a bird
Or any bird
Was she also scared of dogs?
This was asked of her. The answer was no, and the reasoning was that they won't walk like that. She knew it was irrational lol
