The idea that wolf packs are led by a merciless dictator, or alpha wolf, comes from old studies of captive wolves. In the wild, wolf packs are simply families

I mean. They are a matriarchy. So one could say the oldest is the alpha female. Who only accepts a new female in the group if she’s able to sexually satisfy the matriarch. And in case you want to see what bonobo gay sex looks like… don’t. It looks like two sopping tumors rubbing against each other.

…There are a range of animal behaviors out there, and just because humans choose to identify with some more than others doesn’t mean we have to.

Gold males used to be pretty damn good. Now they’re just as buggy as the rest, and usually need a few patches on release day.
