    Imagine hating dogs enough to post on “r/dogfree”.

    Imagine caring about the oscars having a dog in it.

    Imagine your vision of a tragic future being “they will have a ‘best dog’ award at the oscars”

      Imagine hating dogs enough to post on “r/dogfree”.

      Over 4.5 million people in the US alone are bitten by dogs every year. Dogs are fast, strong, vicious animals which can and do maul people. All the time. Why pretend not to understand why some people fear or hate them?

          Having empathy for victims of violence is being a “nerd?”

          Straight up, fuck you. Terminally online irony-poisoned redditlord.

            It’s one thing to be afraid of dogs, and it’s another to be a fucking jackass hating all dogs unconditionally to a cartoonish point.

            So yeah, fuck you :nerd:

              My next door neighbor has one of those giant neglected murder beasts that sits in the back yard all day and barks non-stop. Every day I leave for work, I have to listen to it barking at me and scrabbling at the fence and wonder, “Is today the day that it jumps the fence and literally eats my face?” (cw: the pictures are not particularly pleasant)

              I then get to work, and my coworker, unprompted, for the fifteenth time, tells me that I should adopt a dog and how great dogs are. And I tell him, again, that there is no chance of that happening whatsoever.

              Then I log onto the internet on my phone and see, “Biggest red flag? When someone doesn’t like dogs. I mean what kind of freak would you have to be not to like heckin puppers? They’re so wholesome! Better than people!”

              It is no wonder that there are places where people vent about not liking dogs.

      I’m not a reddit or about it but I think dogs being everywhere in public is kind of annoying.

      Furthermore, I think dogs being treated like people in a society which has such extreme poverty is emblematic of a deep sickness.

          Saying that dogs being fed and treated better than people is fucked up is not saying abuse dogs. “emblematic of a deep sickness” is not making any moral claims besides stating that “it’s kinda fucked up we treat dogs better than people”. I really don’t think that’s controversial.
