Only could make a subreddit like r/IHateSunshineAndRainbowsAndPuppiesAndIceCreamAndNiceThings and somehow fill it with people who actually feel that way. It's that kind of phenomenon that makes me unironically think they make Redditors in an underground lab somewhere.
my theory is that someone started it as a parody sub of /r/childfree, but by creating it immediately created a new identity for insane freaks to latch on to.
The post is silly, but western dog culture is still misanthropic, gross, and hypocritical. I will never trust people who say they like animals more than people (weird how they usually eat meat…). They remind me of that lady who demanded the removal of homeless people at a public park because they scared her dog. Also, Reddit doggo language is like nails on a chalk board.
I only agree with the latter half of your post. Being a misanthrop is a bad thing now? If you discriminate against everyone equally on the basis of their humanity, there is no problem. It's pretty based, actually. And dogs are based aswell. Introverts, autistics, anti social mentally ill people... they all probably like their dog more than the people around them because they cannot participate in normal human to human connection. Through their dog they get a chance to still socialise somewhat. So I believe the misantrophic "I trust animals more than people"-people should not be treated as a bad thing
Yeah, as someone who's mildly autistic I feel much more comfortable around dogs, whose feelings and wants are clearly communicated without speaking, than humans, who don't even directly communicate their intentions with the ability to speak.
I dont think it’s a progressive mindset personally. I assume most people on here are against capitalism because they care about people and their well-being and believe that humanity is worth saving in spite of its flaws.
I don’t think being autistic automatically makes someone a misanthrope. Yeah, it’s harder to process social cues, but at the same time I don’t want to believe that I’d chose the lives of my gerbilles over a human if my apartment caught fire or whatever.
I never trust people that say you can't like animals more than people if you eat meat. Have you met people? How can you not prefer the company of a cat? That seems weird.
That bitch Karen would have tried to chase those people off either way the dog was just her excuse that day. Usually they use their own kids to justify their behavior but hers are probably no contact lmao
Agree with the doggo shit. People saying "hooman" make me want to claw my eyes out.
You have to admit though, that it's a very accurate username. Caring about that type of shit is equally as white as the people who kiss their dog on the libs.
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?
Did I say "imagine being scared of dogs"? No, I said "Imagine hating dogs and dog owners so much that you post on a toxic subreddit entirely dedicated to that hate"
It's like someone said "r/incel" is a toxic community and you went and said "Well actually loneliness and depression among young males is a serious problem, why are you making fun of them?"
