Technically they’re littermates…
Why not just call them a brood while your at it? It’s because we’re humans, and we don’t like to be reminded that we’re all just one worldwide catastrophe away from reverting back to savage animals.
Because then if your twin children got into a fight whilst cutting out paper star decorations you would get to say its star craft brood war.

Identical twins should be called clones.
Hey, look! I found a furry!
Litter is usually reserved for animals that typically have more than one child at a time, it’s normal for a dog, cat, mouse, etc. to have multiple babies at once, whereas with animals like humans, pandas, etc. it’s a somewhat unusual occurrence so we call it something different

It is used and has a negative connotation.
It only has a negative connotation because it is generally an “animal” word and humans believe themselves special and somehow above and separate from animals. It is the same with referring to someone using an object pronoun. Call someone “it” in English and see how fast they lose their shit. Like, mother fucker, you warp spacetime and have volume, you are a fucking object.
Yeah, but the negative connotation is the exclusion of agency
Unique perspective right there. I appreciate the rare respect for non human species though. Feels like the vast majority here has hierarchical thoughts when it comes to other species.
