god can we not bring pitbull discourse here
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.
Has anyone even mentioned the ethnicity of the owners though?
That's why it would be a dogwhistle
Pitbulls account for 70% of fatal dog attacks, while only being 6% of dogs. It's not a dog whistle, pitbulls are a violent and dangerous breed, and everyone I know with a pitbull is white as fuck.

Nope, pitbulls are a violent and dangerous breed. Labradors vastly outnumber them, yet never kill anyone. And there's plenty of shitty Labrador owners out there.
Breeds do matter, and shit breeds make for shit dogs.
You know, I've never thought of it from that angle before... You appear to be correct based on my preliminary fact checking:
https://law.lclark.edu/live/files/32171-25-1-third-articlepdf#:~:text=3%20Strong%20cultural%20ties%20exist,of%20this%20breed%20of%20dog.
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?
lol both sides will read this comment and think you're talking about the other one
Thank you Gaylord_fartmaster. You recognizing the joke is the highest praise a poster can desire.
They were literally bred to fight
Yup.
anyone can say this about any disagreement in existence
i don’t even know what side you’re on that’s how vague this is
Whooosh
For real
It's pretty funny winding up pitbull owners though.
Not my pibble
