Me and my mom were talking about monkeys in general because i was actually very confused about the whole "if you smile, generally monkeys can see it as a sign of aggression" and she explained it to me
And other than the fact that it's a "sign of aggression" because generally showing the teeth can be used as something to show anger, my mom said this
"it all depends on the type of monkey, for example for chimpanzees your whole existence is aggressive for them, they'll snap you like a dry twig."
but also it dipends on the environment the animal grew up in, my cat could easily mistake my smile as a sign of aggression but dosen't because he grew up knowing how humans show emotions and can distinguish between them, a wild monkey for example can't know about it.
So this means that Sun Wukong won't actually find a smile aggressive, he grew up around humans and mortals and he can distinguish, but i like to think that sometimes he still does because he forgets, he did spent 500 years only around monkeys. And it's nature to him? Y'know.
and for Macaque? I like to think that he sees it as aggressive, that's it. No in-between. No "what if".
He smiles himself to show that he is not friendly, unlike wukong who does smile often to show that he is the opposite of aggressive, he makes sure not smile with his teeth with his monkeys though, his smile is way more intimidating than a human one.
Just
Silky monkey fact i guess
