I was looking at some beings within the so called black hole in the center of that galaxy and noticed they were humanoid in shape. This seemed a bit odd and when I thought that they replied that they appeared that way for my comfort. They then appeared as horizontal worms and when I preferred humanoid they reverted to their original presentation.
And I thought that my preference for humanoid is somewhat similar to human preferences for particular races, normally their own. That is called racism and is widely thought unethical.
Surely then speciesism is just as bad.

For me it was the first big step, and it´s curious you use that word, for Tolstoy has a book called 'The First Step' which dwells on that very subject. hardcore reading.
