re: your argument, I think that one moment may not be actually revolutionizing the way whales interact with humans on a global scale. They're not domesticating them, and I don't know if they could've avoided this interaction.
Maybe the approach for humanity would be to keep improving how we engage with animals, through examples like this
Wild animals that get too comfortable around humans are at higher risk of injury by boat strike, or by malicious people. Look up famous examples of friendly wild cetaceans, a lot of those stories end badly.

I don't know the full context of the situation. This is just my two cents
Kinda funny to assume you wouldn’t be transformed into just that type of person if you actually experienced this though, since you’re just seeing this play out from a screen.
How dare people be excited! Everyone should always be stone faced and stoic at all times! That way the whales always hang around forever and eternally!

Teaching them to trust humans! What could go wrong. I mean they still hunt whales to the point of turning the sea red in some countries.

Turning the sea red. Really? Reddit. Lol.
islaisla@reddit
You absolute idiot. Trying to dismiss this as 'Reddit lol' without even considering it. Google it, it's usually Japan but other places as well.
