Why do humans adore lions?

I can understand feeling more sympathy for mammals than reptiles or fish, but why is a man-eater universally admired?

Because in the wild it represents power and might. Also they look majestic, time to grow a beard user.

coz they're just big cats

humans liked lions for thousends of years ( since the roman empire)
Its just a popculture thing

That's practically the definition of culture that is not pop. Consistency over thousands of years. Every culture that had contact with lions admired them from the start.

Gobekli Tepe. The oldest monuments on Earth have many depictions of poisonous, deadly, and dangerous animals. Man has always worshiped those things which are most dangerous to them as if by worshiping them we gain some power over them.

Because they fuck like 60 times a day.

Not just lions in general, animals in general. We're so high above the food chain that we can admire them and nature in general. That's how abstract our mind is compared to theirs, that we can admire the beauty and come up with human relatable metaphors surrounding them.

Lions are for faggots

I shed a tear of joy every time I see a faggot get worked up over the death of a lion.

I don't.
Lions are ugly, lazy, and useless, especially males.
Tigers, on the other hand...
