god can we not bring pitbull discourse here

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love all dogs but I can still appreciate a good pitbull eating kids joke. He just looks so happy.

It's just got as a sidedish the face of its owner.

You mean the literal dog whistle for racists? Because a large portion of pit owners are POC so they get to spew their hate without saying it out loud. Ever wonder why they get all bloodthirsty about killing those dogs? There ya go.

I was mauled by a German Shepard with shitty owners when I was a kid. They're literally trained for military and police work, yet where are the GSD hate groups? It's almost like the people who hate pits, are the same who bootlick LEO and have thin blue line stickers. It's almost like breeds don't matter, it's the training by the owners.

Even despite that experience, I don't hate GSD, I hate shit owners. Shit owners make shit dogs. It's either that or Patrick Stewart is secretly pulling the veil over all of us.

But it's not really the dog they hate... so yeah let's not have them here.

It's the same deal as them hating welfare, weed, crack, the homeless, the poor, and people with "low IQ" (That one's mainly Jordan Peterson).

It's a tried and true strategy to push minorities into poverty and bad/desperate communities, then turn around and use that as justification to discriminate against them, "but not for their skin color, it's because of xyz".

This poor doggo did nothing wrong.

Look at his smiley face.

I wanna hug him and tell him he is a good boy.

Oh now you've stepped in it, those pitty owners are relentless.

Kind of like a dog with a child sized bone?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Anyone else old enough to remember when dobermans and rottweilers were the killer breed of the day? I wonder what the next one will be.

That scale is pretty interesting, trying to make 295 seem like it's more than 500.

[–] ezri@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Blue bars are attacks, red are deaths. I'd say 3000 is more than 500, yes

[–] MountainTurkey@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alright, why does 113 look like it's half of 500?

[–] AnarchoYeasty 1 points 1 year ago

Because they had to in order to get Rottweilers and pit bulls to show up on the graph correctly.

It would really funny if black folk decided to make it something stupid.

Bunch of rap videos with blinged out Pomeranians. Stock footage of a flock of them running and barking.
🎵 come around, imma get you with my pomeraptors 🎵

3 months later, a slew of news reports from Sinclair owned news stations about small dogs and behavior issues. Some crying church lady with dry wispy blonde hair, talking about how Jesus only loves golden doodles.
Then a flood of memes calling Pomeranians finger guillotines, a stream of repeated news articles about the same few attacks, repeated to false consensus.
