I know that there are people who will say that it is an ape and not a monkey.
But come on people give me some freedom too.XD

did i ever mention any of that though? besides, people arguing that this is not a monkey but an ape are wrong. here is the catch: all apes are monkeys. if you refer to a chimpanzee as a monkey, you are still correct, you are just using a more general term.
here is the thing that makes me uneasy though. the monkey face (LOL! XD) on the dog. i guess the chimp looks so human-like that this picture stands on the edge of uncanny valley for me XD but great work on merging the two together, as always!

No not from you but I did had that conversation many times over and over again.
I use almost the same argument as you and still they say that I am wrong .
And just between you and me it is the face of a young gorilla and not a chimp.
But I can understand this mistake because there are a lot of chimps that look like gorillas.
I am a big fan of gorillas and even I do make that mistake sometimes.
If they only show the face it is sometimes hard to tell.XD

omg! now I can see it's a gorilla! i guess i didn't notice the ginormous nostrills before! XD But should you ever have this discussion again, tell them that apes are the most advanced subgroup of old world monkeys (native to africa and asia), sometimes also called the "narrow-nosed monkeys"Β΄or Catarrhini; (by contrast, the new world monkeys are called the "broad-nosed monkeys," or Platyrhini inhabit the americas)
Here Is why the other people are wrong. they don't know how common descent works. here is the deal: No species can ever grow out of its ancestry. that is why birds are still theropod dinosaurs, and whales are still artiodactyls. No one would argue we are not mammals, that we just "evolved from" mammals. why, then, would someone keep claiming that apes "evolved from" monkeys, or, which is even worse, "just had a common ancestor" with monkeys? This is utter nonsense. a tailless catarrhine primate (i.e. an ape) does not stop being a catarrhine primate just for losing its tail. Yes, apes evolved from non-ape ancestors and yes, before there were apes there were all sorts of different (tailed) catarrhine primates most of which are extinct by now, and of course modern non-ape catarrhine primates and apes share a common catarrhine ancestor, but the conclusions these underinformed people come to are flat out wrong.
one more example: snakes have no legs whatsoever, yet they are classified as tetrapods. why? because they had four-legged ancestors and they have all other features typical of tetrapods (whales with their almost nonexistant hindlegs are clasified as tetrapods for the same reason) and birds, just because i mentioned them before, are theropod dinosaurs. we can find confirmation of this in the fossil record and in the genetics of modern birds. birds still have genes for teeth and long bony tails, only those genes got crippled due to mutations and are no longer functional. they have, however, been experimentally reactivated in chicken embryos which promptly started showing growth of teeth and many more tail vertebrae than normal. (i am going off topic here into the "missing link" debate, but just this alone is proof enough that birds are indeed dinosaurs, even if we didn't have the hundreds of fossil genera neatly showing their diversification and evolution from the jurassic to the present.)
Just to wrap it up going back to the point, in short, apes are still monkeys because their ancestors were monkeys and because apes still show the majority of the diagnostic traits typical of catarrhine monkeys. and they never stopped being monkeys to begin with.
