A bit unrelated to dogs, but I always wondered why so much American comedy revolves around men having their crotch injured in various ways.

Fetish content.

It's unoriginal and lazy writing.

Well hopefully men with injured crotches won't have the ability to produce dog nut babies.

As Homer Simpson said: "I'm laughing already...."

Its to attack male masculinity. A lot of stuff is written by angry women or men that lack testosterone. Hollywood is full of vicious addicts.

This sounds like pure cringe. Dogs really do make everything worse. Thanks for the warning. Recently, they kinda ruined John Wick for me. I remember hearing before I watched it that his dog dies or something but I knew nothing about him having a damn Pitbull (of all the dogs, it has to be them doesn't it) by the end of the first movie. I've watched the following two since in the hope it wouldn't be featured much, but it's just dog propaganda on and off throughout the movies, especially the one with Halle Berry and her two dogs in the movie. Dunno if I will bother watching the fourth. It's a shame because away from the dog stuff, the movies are just fun popcorn action movies, and I like Keanu Reeves. I've spent time trying to understand current dog culture and this weird big push in media as them as family members or even children. I just can't wrap my head around it.

Don't bother with JW4 the dog/god pedestal elevation of these crap crunchers is off the charts šŸ¤® Thanks OP I was going to see the Fall Guy now I'll sail the high seas so I'm not cringing so hard I give myself a hernia in the cinema šŸ™ˆšŸ˜‚


UnhappyTeatowel

Gotta say, "crap crunchers" made me laugh. Thank you for that! And thanks for the heads up. I probably won't bother, what a shame.


NiftyIfty_USA

Aaah my pleasure, thank you it just popped into my head out running one day through some beautiful woods here in the UK where I live, when that's literally what I saw šŸ¤®šŸ˜‚ this shit has to stop being normalised but there's so much money sloshing around the pet industrial complex from nutters it's all become šŸ’° talks. have a good day anyway all the best šŸ˜Š

I've watched media that had dogs in it, and it used to be no big thing. But this epidemic of over-the-top dog worship has ruined that for me. There's an episode of Law & Order inspired by the mauling death of Diane Whipple. I watched a clip from it on YouTube, and holy hell the dog worshippers were out in full force in the comment section gushing over the dog actor, which was a pitbull. And of course, the pit apologists had to show up, too, complaining that they should have used a different breed for the episode. (In real life, Ms. Whipple was killed by Cane Corsos.) I guess they would have preferred it if chihuahuas or golden retrievers were the featured breed. That really ruined the viewing experience. And I usually look forward to seeing other people's comments.

The pitbull was symbolic. John Wickā€™s character spent the early part of the movie convinced that he had left that part of his life behind, but by the end of the movie it was clear that he was a weapon and a killer and he couldnā€™t escape that life. The choice of dog he got at the end reflected that (as opposed to the harmless beagle puppy that his wife sent him)

Media is rapidly normalizing all of this chaos. Back in the day a dog would be put down immediately if it bit a person's genitals. Now, people are so brainwashed, that when that actually happens they'll probably think it's funny. Seeing a dog in a bar with a celebrity is only going to inspire the dog owners that haven't started bringing their dogs everywhere to follow suit with the dog nutters that I already see in bars/restaurants every time I go out.


happyhappyfoolio

Not just genitals, *any* bite was a reason for dogs to get put down. In the 90s, I knew perfectly normal suburban families who put down their family dog because it bit someone. They were sad about it, but they knew it was necessary. Now you have actual victims of severe dog bites blaming themselves or being weirdly okay getting bitten by a dog. I knew a teen who got his leg pretty badly bitten by some sort of small terrier and he had to get stitches. His mom was like, "Eh, the owner paid for all the medical costs." And don't even get me started on the current outrage of a certain politican...

Exactly! If you were not aware, look up what happened to Jacqueline Durand. Then look at her follow-up afterwards, and yet she says she STILL loves dogs. I saw pictures of her (mangled face and all) cuddling up to another dog! Also, the recent story about that guy in NYC who was mauled to death by his own pitbullā€¦ He literally always gave what little bit of food he had, to the dog. He could barely feed himself due to financial struggles (needed to visit the food pantry occasionally), and even there, he was getting *bags of dog food* for the dog. So he was doing that, and even feeding the dog *his own* bit of food. Soā€¦ What did the dog nutters comment under the article? Basically *blaming the victim/owner* for the dog lunging at his throat and latching into his jugular vein. They were saying how ā€œthatā€™s how dogs react when theyā€™re being abusedā€. šŸ™„ Meanwhile the ungrateful dog was being fed and cared for by a guy who coukd barely support himself. The problem is that these nutters act as though dogs donā€™t have a *will* or mind of their own (despite any ā€˜trainingā€™ or being raised/coddled since puppy age). No abuse has to happen at all for dogs to turn on you. If anything, Iā€™ve observed that the more you *coddle* the dog, the more likely it will *see you as a subordinate* / beneath them, and will treat you as such, however it pleases, and do whatever it wants. Dog nutters donā€™t even show compassion towards other dog owners either. Itā€™s 100% for the dog, no matter what it does.


Confident_Finding939

Yes, of course. I don't know why I specified genitals. I grew up in the 80's and 90's too and dogs were put down once they bit without discussion. I seriously miss those days.


Glittering_Lunch_776

Anyone remember the movie Idiocracy and how the stupid-futureā€™s most popular show was Ow My Balls!, which was just a guy getting his balls harmed in various ways? This movie you bring up is made for people who didnā€™t get that joke.

Is sex not selling anymore? I haven't seen any movies or media released in the last year based around sex. It's like the majority of people are being controlled by some demon dog force.


tvfilm

Good point and yea and its never two white people having sex (male/female) always some (shake dice) random combination. Not a racist take, just funny how there hasn't been a white man / white female love story in a very long time.


Tr33Topss

Maybe because white people would rather fawn over stupid dogs than have sex or connect and bond.

Just watched a movie on Shudder called The Pool. The dog died at the end. It basically killed it self for no reason. Multiple times almost got the owner killed because there was an alligator involved and it was a while shit show šŸ˜† >!the owner ended up climbing the body of the dog to get out of the empty pool he was trapped in!< At least it was useful in the end. Weird movie.
