Whales. Baleen whales specifically. Orcas? Sperm whales? Those are just giant dolphins and therefore cool. Orcas are even comrades. But pics or video footage of a humpback from any angle will reduce me to tears. Pure lizard brain terror. It's fun because other people think they're like, majestic and shit, so whale pics are common and seen as harmless.
But no.
Whales are sea monsters.
you watched finding nemo as a child?
I'm too old for that to be the origin but yes I do not like that scene one bit! My mom blames Pinocchio, but Monstro is a sperm whale and those guys are cool.
