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.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

Content Warnings must be placed before the rest of the title.

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.

Some people are straight up fascists towards certain pets. Pitbulls? Poc ghetto child mauling dog that should be killed. Cats? Bird killing plague spreading vermin that should be killed. None of these genocidal malthusian nazis ever have any better ideas beside culling animals instead of making sure these animals dont do these things by neutering populations and rehoming them if possible. I genuinely was mortified on reddit back a while ago when I saw literal pitbull hating subreddits using literal fascist language towards pitbulls like they see them as literal pests that should be mass murdered to prevent child maulings or whatever dog whistle metric they wanna go by.

Keep your cats indoors. Your neighbors' yards aren't a free litter box and many people enjoy having birds and critters around.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 32 points 3 days ago

They also live longer, happier lives. Outdoor cats have a lifespan of 2-5 years. Indoor cats have a lifespan of 15-20 years.

[–] PraiseCorn@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

Of course, not advocating for outdoor cats. I'm just against slaughtering them and sentiments that lead to this as liberals and fascists solution to invasive species is just to fucking kill them.

Lol if any of my neighbors can actually find where my cat buried his poop, if they dig it up and bring it back to me I'll do them a solid and rebury it on the property line lmao

If it's a choice between cats being able to lay under the sun and breathe fresh air pitted against the lives and freedom of birds and rodents, I'm sorry, I'm naturally selecting the cats all day. Little critters never stood a chance

Never expected to see this level of individualistic contempt for the commons on Hexbear.

I am reminded of this beautiful post.

Feral cats are absolutely a pest

Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered.

yes but there is absolutely a Certain Kind of Person who enjoys enthusing over how much they all deserve to die horrible deaths and those people are fucking freaks

Self-righteous hunters lmao, it's like those people who find invasive species and torture them.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

That's horrific

Nah dog pitbulls need to go extinct. As do pugs, boxers, king charles spaniels, and every other dog bred to suffer. Pits suffer from being bred to be aggressive.

It's pretty wild how even after like 1 or 2 generations of not being "purebred" they just become really sweet and playful. Maybe still have a bit more prey drive than other dogs, but it really wouldn't be hard to "kill the Pit" by just shutting down the breeders and letting them become normal dogs.

[–] Salmarez@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fair enough, but im-vegan and https://aeon.co/essays/why-keeping-a-pet-is-fundamentally-unethical. Pitbulls are so domesticated that they cannot even breathe properly, so maybe no one should have them?

[–] whiskers165@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

This is the real answer to all arguments about dog breeds and whether cats should be kept indoors. People are not ready to the end of pet ownership.

I wish they weren't our pets but instead our friends 😿

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):

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.%24b28129&seq=1

Pitbulls are strong powerful dogs, it's a zero mistake dog, because they will cause severe injury or death if they snap.

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 52 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

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

[–] Florn@hexbear.net 37 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Exactly. German Shepherds are as dangerous as a shotgun on the coffee table but see how much traction you can get to ban them. It's never been about the dogs themselves.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ooh, could we pretty please ban German Shepherds?

Nazis and Cops would be so mad, and they make up certainly at least the plurality of GSD "owners".

Can we ban beagles but only the one old beagle that’s always passed out at the bar I go to and never available for petting? And by ban I mean can he live in my house headpat

God, I fucking love him

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 40 points 3 days ago

So you won't watch the video to understand the title, but still find it necessary to outright dismiss that racism has anything to do with it. 🤡

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 36 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Sorry I don't think "I'm gonna not asses the argument and just dump a rant based on the headline I misinterpreted" is a valuable contribution to the discussion.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 27 points 3 days ago

Always some bullshit surrounding dogs on this site. Very first comment just had to be this.

comparing animals to humans

This is a liberal rebrand. One has to ask how is it not racism to be comparing the treatment of a violent breed of a non sentient species to whatever subgroup of humanity is being racially targeted. As an example, we all know how the biggest asmongold aka roach man type losers love to bring up FBI crime stastics on how African American supposedly do the most crimes and ignore that a serial pedophileremoved white man can be president. We all know this statistics are bullshit. Meanwhile pitbulls along with other violent breeds are vastly more dangerous than others and comparing these cases is a massive disservice to Africa Americans and a cynical use of a real issue by western leftists.

I will watch the video but I am already so out off by this braindead title

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

All I'm saying is that the movie Plague Dogs would have went completely differently if one of the dogs was a pitbull. All I'm sayin'. Also Dead Domain is a liberal zionist, as per BadEmpanada's critiques of her (maybe someone better critiqued her on this, but he's the first I know of).

They seem to have Hasan like opinions on things, hate Destiny and have this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=89&v=k4d6FLLMsbo were they seem to talk about the onlyfan's owner's zionism and AIPAC as bad things. So unless Im missing something Im going to assume BadEmpanada calls Dead Domain a liberal zionist for the same reasons he would call Hasan one plus some transphobia for spice.

[–] DudleyMason@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Plenty of shitbag dog racists in this thread spewing debunked bullshit.

Colleen the Karen Queen (founder of the website that originated all of this bullshit) has done more damage to society than just about any other single individual who isn't a politician or Billionaire.

Supporters of BSL are just mad they can't be openly racist against the types of humans they don't like, so they settle for open prejudice against the type of dogs they believe the humans they don't like have.

[–] AF_R@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Pit bulls and similar breeds are outright banned in large Chinese cities.

There is no debate. Either you agree they should be eliminated as a breed as humanely as possible, or you are reactionary.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 6 points 3 days ago

I'm sorry, but my sweat little dog has been bit 4 times. Each time by a pitbull. No other breed has ever come close to biting her.

They can be sweet dogs. But they have very strong prey drives, and resource guarding. They will bite before they've even figured out what's going on. I believe it's been the resource guarding that caused each incident with my dog, but I saw one of the pitbulls that bit her kill a neighbors cat, and that was absolute prey drive. The cat was killed on its own property too, the dog was wondering by.

Not a single one of these pitbulls was a "problem animal", by and human standare. It's just how they react in certain situations and how powerful they are that make them incredibly dangerous.

[–] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have heard the Reddit left leaning hive mind going crazy about pitbulls as well. It's not just the right.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 33 points 3 days ago

Reddit is not left leaning.
