>his waifu kills his goat for some reason
The whole animal subplot is very important for understanding the distinction between human/android. Androids have no sentimentality, and seek the objective truth. Humans seek the truth, but there are limits. Authenticity is shown to be very important in the novel, and the societal focus on owning a real animal is one of them. To get back at Deckard, robowaifu kills the real goat he was proud of owning. It was something of real value to him.
Keep in mind that the androids proved the human religion false earlier in the book. Deckard finding the toad, a symbol of the religion, and his wife's decision to keep it, is an important statement given these themes of authenticity. Authenticity is what you make of it, and humans seek practical truth. They carry on with their religion, they make believe the toad is real, because it lets us carry on.

It's more realistic than >muh chase sequence
Blade Runner and DADoES are both good, but they seek different things. That's why the movie complete guts the religion and animal subplots to focus on the androids.

Why should I make that distinction and why is it important to do so?

>Androids have no sentimentality
They do. Human intuitively empathize with what they perceive to be an organic life form because it's similar to themselves and androids don't because it's not similar to themselves. That's all there is to it. Thus "Do androids etc. etc."
But, no. You have to push your ideas about how human is something so good and righteous and being human makes you so much better.
There must be right and wrong and we must be the ones who are right.

It's actually about Jews if you read closely.

Right, that's the conclusion at the end of the book.

honestly point one is the reason i made the thread

as a kid i played the game (which is fantastic), loved the movie as a teen, just finally read the book and that shit bothered me a lot

deckards dealing with androids that are murderous, highly intelligent, and yet just keeps blurting his thoughts out to them. his lack of subtly bothered the fuck out of me.

The book is better than the film.
