APE with many human qualities, including a loud yelp: oran utans are not known to imbibe, hence that specific usage likely is a referent to「dog swine beast with tongue and prick head hanging out」as a referent to a very hairy human of northern European ancestry. Asians generally grow much less body hair than do Caucasians, and as do oran utans that are covered with long reddish hair, an allele found principally, but not at all exclusively, among the Gaelic Eire-ish and Scots in northwestern Europe. The Scots and Irish are well-known as inventors of some of the most excellent of pleasurable libations and are understandably proud of their heritage of generously imbibing on any given occasion, and "God Be With Them All." Allusions to「hairy barbarians」abound in Asia with reference to folks native to lands situated to the east of the Caucasus Mountain Range, and other members of the Caucasoids, as APES. Perhaps that is only fair, since Caucasoids often have referred to Orientals as monkeys, as have the Chinese referred to the Japanese: 倭黑猩猩 our heroes, the bonobos. What goes around, comes around.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
