->"Okay that’s it. Stop. Sorry. This is a real pet peeve of mine. [[HuggyHuggyHippos Why the fuck do hippos get a free pass? Why do we still labour under this misguided delusion that hippos are our friends?]] Hippos are not our friends. Hippos are our worst enemies (and that’s saying something, human beings have a larger and more impressive rogues gallery than Batman). We treat sharks like they’re Satan with a mohawk and yet how do we depict literally the most dangerous animal in all of Africa? [...] We make little boardgames of them swallowing marbles and stick them on cereal boxes. Why? Because they look like sentient leather couches? In conclusion: Fuck hippos."

->''"It turns out in the real world, hippos fucking kill people. There's this word, 'territorial', that nature takes pretty seriously. When it's applied to a two-ton animal with teeth the size of bowling pins, that is one hell of a word. The sort of word you either pay very close attention to, or end up with a complimentary 'Killed to death by a fucking hippo' tombstone. That sort of thing is really embarrassing for the family, you know?"''
