Reddit doesn't understand that the penguin represents everything they're not. They're content to just exist, happy in their hedonistic materialism. Grind, eat, sleep, wake up, and repeat. The penguin wants more. It wants to know what's out there. The dangers don't matter because the question is before it and it demands an answer. Is there more to life, to existing, than the comforting routine? That penguin is more human than any Redditor.
