Yeah in this case, dogs are easy mode. There are indeed some similarities between cats and rabbits, with two major differences:

1. Rabbits are 100% prey animals with all that entails (stuff like having their eyes at sides of their head, used to being ambushed and chased down - consider something as simple as what angle to approach them from, as opposed to animals with eyes in front of head), and

2. People usually keep rabbits in cages where their only socialisation is “visits” once or twice a day, if that, and their frustration will build to incredible degrees when denied their need to roam and investigate and chew and burrow, and bond with their family. “Body doubling” where the rabbit can inspect the whole space while keeping an eye on you as you do some chill activity from a safe distance is important to build trust. Not keeping them confined to a cage while we go about our lives and think they’ll have any trust in us whenever WE feel like picking them up for a cuddle.

We are the predators, it’s up to us to make them feel safe.

I’m sorry you’ve never had a pet rabbit bond with you before. They are social as fuck, people are just terrible at fulfilling their pets needs and understanding (and respecting!) what they communicate. That’s not the animals fault.

“Dwarfs” is just short for “Dwarf S(tars)”. The plural is on star, not dwarf, and hidden in the shortened version.

I fully relate to being uncomfortable when others use my name. I dont hate it anymore, but people using it when talking to me weirds me out. I know who I am so you don’t have to remind me, and you know who I am because you’re currently talking to me!

It just feels like constantly being poked with something sharp when someone overuses my name, or I get on edge like I expect them to try pickpocket me at any moment, or I get tense and feel my fuse shortening like they’re being condescending and sort of explaining my own name to me?

I don’t know, it’s just really grinding my gears. Dont know if it’s adhd though, or having overactive walls and defenses, or something else.

Fight club comes to mind

So does Bridget Jones Diary.

I’m not saying whether its more stereotypically male or not in movies (I’ve never thought about it, maybe its that there have historically been more male leads in general?), I just like bringing up the classic naugthies rom-coms whenever I can.
