>there are six criteria that animals must meet for domest

>>54746718
We even have our own term for domesticating humans, it's called "assimilation" and "integration."

>>54746718
The intelligence gap between humans and elves might not be enough

>>54746718

Joy.

>>54746718
Humans aren't able and/or willing to domesticate goblins, so here is your answer. Also >>54746778
There aren't that many settings in which elves would consider humans being pets, especially not many in which elves are across the board more intelligent in crunch, this thread has barely any basis in any setting.

>>54746718
Two thirds of that doesn't apply to cats either.

>>54746718
>Third, domesticated species must be willing to breed in captivity

aside from the odd panda-like exception, if you lock humans in cages with no direction other than food every day, they're more likely to be trying to break out than bang

>>54747668
The idea is you find the ones that are willing and breed them.

Domesticated animals are very specific genetic stock. The same should be true for people.

>>54747704
it would be far easier to just make golems.

bargaining with the human economies would mean the humans would, on their own, without any sort of domestication, help the elves acquire materials in exchange for trivial magic baubles

like if we were to expand this pet/domestication definition to the point it functions, we're just looking at a regular society.

>>Humans are omnivores
This one is also an issue. While we are omnivorous, we also eat the same things that our elven overlords eat. Most animals that humans have domesticated are herbivores, however they all eat grass which humans cannot eat. Cats and dogs are the exception.

This matters a whole lot less when you can cast magic and make food out of nothing, but that's besides the point.

Maybe try not posting in it you retarded faggot.

>>54746718
What do you think political correctness is? (((Humans))) are able to domesticate humans.

What makes you think elves wouldn't?

>>54747814
>bargaining with the human economies would mean the humans would, on their own, without any sort of domestication, help the elves acquire materials in exchange for trivial magic baubles
So humans are like cats to the elves?
>>54748571
Cats and dogs are able to eat scraps considered unfit for human consumption. Maybe elves need much higher quality food than what humans can eat and could feed their "pets" with what would normally go to waste. It would give a reason for them having a lower population.

>>54746718
They can in the same way humans have been doing it to other humans over the millennia in the various forms of slavery.

If you treat another sapient species like animals without respect or dignity, it's going to create problems.

Then again, modern society is in love with cats and dogs. I'm not certain how people would react to being treated as a beloved pet rather than a beast of burden.

think the term 'working class dog'
of course this also applies to the lower elven castes.

of course it's all based on perspective, elves have no issue using ancient elven magic that they learned when they were a little bit younger to get basically free resources like food and materials, since elves find
>knowledge > effort.
while the humans for the most part, find that
>effort > effort of learning many decades of knowledge

dwarves could easily do the same thing with humans, and depending on the setting they do with technology or forging great weaponry and armor.
but dwarves simply enjoy hard work, so it's usually done to a lesser degree than the lazy elves

But if I'm a pet of an elf then we can't do BDSM otherwise PETH will be all over their ass.

Dungeon meshi got too popular, she isn't a recipe for good threads anymore. We need to get a new meme elf.

>>54750565
Truth be told the only reason I know of it was a thread posted a few days ago here with the same OP image. I have no regrets, best manga I've read in ages.

/d/ is a disgusting place

>>54746718
Humans are domesticated irl, tho.

>>54748571
Pigs eat just about the same stuff we eat, but uncooked and uncleaned.

Maybe elves would be as picky in relation to humans as humans are in relation to pigs.

>>54751085
Pigs eat just about whatever you throw at them. Pigs eat things that would make a seagull vomit. Pigs would eat seagull vomit.

>>54746718
Not really.

>Humans aren't able and/or willing to domesticate goblins

Goblins are ugly, smelly and retarded, who want to domesticate them?
Besides, in some settings, they're controlled by evil wizards or something.
