Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

stop comparing animals to humans, and no I'm not gonna watch the 1 hr youtube video. Dogs have been selectively bred for thousands of years for specific traits to perform certain tasks (herding, hunting, companionship etc..). Unlike cats, dog breeds are real. Weather you want to believe or not, pitbulls are fighting dogs, why else would they be the dog of choice for dogmen (professional dog fighters) when it was a legal "sport" and still the dog of choice for illegal dog fighting rings now? Joseph L Colby, a pioneer of the pitbull breed, wrote a comprehensive book on American Pit bull Terriers, mostly about dog fighting (when it was legal) (CW: extreme animal cruelty):

Pitbulls are strong powerful dogs, it's a zero mistake dog, because they will cause severe injury or death if they snap.
No investigation, no right to speak. Nobody is saying discriminating against the breed is racist to the dogs - the vilifying of pit bulls specifically is part of a longstanding and pernicious campaign of racial stereotyping of the dogs in association with their owners. The image of these dogs is intrinsically linked in rotten American society and popular consciousness to black and latino people, and that is indeed part of a racist crusade.
edit: also, seriously? you're just going to come in to the thread, start out by saying "I'm not watching that" and then "whatever it's about, there's no racism get over it"? fuck off
Are you really doing the "if you change the word, the meaning of the sentence changes - feel owned yet?" shit? Goddamn you're dense
Oh piss off already you fragile little fuckhead - like actually what is wrong with you? Are you seriously claiming there is no, not any, racial stereotyping and prejudice around the image of the pit bull terrier? Because you're on some "don't believe your lying eyes" shit.
And I don't know where you got the sense that I'm pushing for animal liberation by relating it to racism - well I do know, because you evidently can't read for meaning - but the racism around the breed (and others) is just a fact of American society. I advocate for animal liberation without the racial connotation, because it aligns with my principles broadly you fuck.
Absolutely staggered by the caucasity
Lmao. Keep insulting me. Youre argument is absolutely clownish in the extreme
I should expand. Since you did respond I guess. But the point is that defending pitbulls because pitbulls are used as a vector for racism is absolutely brandead because the data does show the dogs are violent af. I mean they were literally the types of dogs bread for the native genocide and chasing runaway slaves. Like what the fuck are we doing here lmao
You've done nothing but insult, and haven't acknowledged a single thing I said in good faith
No, I think you really might just be dense. Christ.
Westerners using racism to defend their unethical ownership of a violent animal is such a vibe. Absolutely peak
It's not defending the ownership goddamn! It would be best for everyone if the animals were treated humanely and, you know, not fucking bred for the purposes of fighting! Are you incapable of grasping the fact that this is also a highly racialized animal at the same time?
