god can we not bring pitbull discourse here

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 55 points 2 years ago

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.

You know, I've never thought of it from that angle before... You appear to be correct based on my preliminary fact checking:

I haven't read this entire study, to be fair. But it does go into detail on this topic.

… GSDs are just as common on banned breed lists as pitties.

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".

What discourse? A bunch of people spewing debunked myths that align with their personal beliefs yelling at a bunch of people with thought out positions based on research?

[-] gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago

lol both sides will read this comment and think you're talking about the other one

[-] fkn@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Thank you Gaylord_fartmaster. You recognizing the joke is the highest praise a poster can desire.

[-] yeepyorp@mtgzone.com 4 points 2 years ago

i don’t even know what side you’re on that’s how vague this is

[-] fkn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Whooosh

They were literally bred to fight

Most pit bull-type dogs descend from the British Bull and terrier, a 19th-century dog-fighting type developed from crosses between the Old English Bulldog and the Old English Terrier.
