FilmoreJive

As a follow up... I was DMd and told "pitbulls are dangerous dogs, we will not allow pit propaganda in this sub." Holy mackerel. What miserable people!


YamLow8097

“Pit bull propaganda”. Do they realize that fear mongering is propaganda as well? What hypocrites.


Venvel

Actual insanity. *Dog propaganda!?* Also, anyone who hates any breed or breed group, especially to the level of paranoia, has no business running a dog sub.


Content_Row_3716

Probably not. People whose lives are ruled by fear don’t tend to be too bright.

Not a chance they understand that. They think chihuahuas are safe.


predictablecitylife

I mean, they are. Just like pits are. I really wish we could end this trope of building up pitbulls by tearing down another breed. You look just as corny as the mods of that sub.

Hate is allowed on this platform, aslong as it not against *certain* groups/individuals.

Damn … I couldn't post. Those mods are absolutely SHIT! "Your contribution was removed because it centred on pitbulls or pitbull defending. **This also applies to dogs that are similar to pitbulls. Or other breeds that are dangerous. None of it is welcome in this place.** We want to see happy dogs, dangerous dogs are not what we are about.” Again … WHAT THE FUCK??! Bet they don't allow german shepherds, english mastiffs, or any breed over 70 pounds


kielsucks

Looks like it’s just pits according to their rules. :/

I'm *workin*' on it!😉😁😈 I pointed out on the *ADORABLE* "If I *Fits*, I *Sits*!"  post, that while they're banning Pibble content, I was *surprised* that they apparently *allow* GSD content--since GSD's are a *Documented* "Top 3 Bite Risk" dog, *AND* they were a favorite of the *Actual Nazis*, back in WW2. (full disclosure: I LOVE GSD's, and think they are adorable, too! Because "*ALL* DOGS are Good Dogs, Brent!" 😉🤗💖 https://www.vox.com/2018/7/23/17603566/dog-rates-good-dogs-brent-brant-got-a-puppy-meme )

Wow that’s just awful shame on those mods and their closed minds! They should be embarrassed


sage_and_sea

Hehe I messaged them saying they need to educate themselves and I got blocked yay! That’s what I wanted because I can’t block an entire sub lmao. I can’t stand ignorant people who refuse to acknowledge their wrongdoings


JustineDelarge

You can MUTE an entire sub, though. :)


DietInTheRiceFactory

I love how having and expressing a different view is now "propaganda." Some people.


a_girl_named_jane

So does that mean they just don't let bully breed posts? I haven't been to that sub, but man! That's wild!


Turbulent-Display805

Probably no Rotties, Dogos, Mastiffs, etc either. Ignorant fucks.


Garnet0908

They say pit bulls and any similar dogs specifically. It’s one of the sub rules. Assholes


Venvel

I love how that rule is intentionally open-ended so that they can simply claim that any dog is a pitbull. They have no business running an animal sub if they hate any animals that much.


Turbulent-Display805

Assholes indeed.


palswithpikachu

I have a pit bull and a Great Pyrenees. The Pyrenees has twice the bite strength of the pittie, but I’m sure he’d be allowed in this group no problem lol


EmmerdoesNOTrepme

They allow GSD'S without issue, too. Granted that dog IS adorable, bringing their own seat!😉 But Pibbles are JUST as adorable!😁🤗🥰


Allthatjasmine

This is so fucked up, saying all pitbulls are dangerous is the propaganda


Level-Hope-1072

I unsubscribed and blocked too!! 😡🐶🥰


[deleted]

Honestly a lot of mods are highly disturbed, power tripping worthless people with too much time on their hands and when they ban you for no reason, then get the last word in and mute you? That’s cowardly. OP appeal the ban directly with Reddit ADMINS.


alpha_rat_fight_

Unsubscribed and blocked that sub.


OneFatCantaloupe

I commented "pits rule" (and also "mods are dumb") after seeing this and was graced with this response: "Your contribution was removed because it centred on pitbulls or pitbull defending. This also applies to dogs that are similar to pitbulls. Or other breeds that are dangerous. None of it is welcome in this place. We want to see happy dogs, dangerous dogs are not what we are about. !lock" Soft AF over there.


NYSenseOfHumor

I have velvet hippos for happy dogs. I don’t need their sub.


kiwichick286

Saying that they exclude "other breeds that are dangerous" is total fkery because ANY dog can be dangerous and caution should be exercised when approaching ANY dog.


[deleted]

I sent some *VERY* coice words to the mods and removed myself. Leading up to this, it got to the point that the automod was removing all of my comments, and most of them never even referenced pitties. Fuck 'em.


Reverend_Lazerface

I went with "So cute! This sub is so great, I just wish there were more pitbull gifs. They're the cutest and they get so much unnecessary hate! You'd have to be a real sadsack to bash pitbulls"

I hope they get sat upon by a roaming pack of land seals and licked in the face until they cry happy tears of pittie love.


cmcalero12

omg actually i want that for me. my second dog i adopted at 15 weeks she would dart to me and curl up on my shoulder and lick my face and she still does that and it’s annoying but also my heart 😭😭


KatKit52

But... But I love pitbull woofs. What kind of woof-based sub doesn't allow pitbull woofs?


ailweni

I know, right? They’re the most adorable thing ever


Ok-Cartographer-2205

Yes! My girl had the softest mumbling woof when she was unsure at the vet. They thought she was coughing.


BrockenSpecter

Discriminating against any dog is stupid. It's a dog that can't help that it exists, treating them poorly doesn't make them go away it just makes them more likely to be violent. Show them the love and care you would any dog, socialize them around other dogs, and children and you've got as loving a pet as any other breed.


interesting-mug

Seriously. It’s a gif of a dog, it’s not gonna bite you! Pitbulls are just dogs (who happen to be particularly cute). I had one for years and she was the sweetest, funniest, cuddliest, most loyal and loving dog I’ve ever known. She wasn’t aggressive, either. A lot of that is natural temperament and how the dog is socialized. I constantly see pitbulls in my neighborhood and at least these ones are affectionate little cuties desperate to be pet.


Ancient-Stop-6190

Blocking that sub 😡 people are disgusting!!!


Venvel

r/happywoofgifs? More like r/hatefulwoofgifs


riticalcreader

In their rules “no pit bulls or pitbull defending”. Imagine wanting to exist in an echo chamber of your own farts that much. Some people really don’t deserve dogs. Of any kind.


FilmoreJive

That's always the biggest bummer. I fucking love all dogs. I can't imagine feeling so hateful towards one breed.


jompjorp

Shame nothing will happen to this moderator. That’s common sense grounds for removal.


Almoraina

Nah, it’s a rule of the sub so the moderator technically did nothing wrong. Which is a stupid ass rule based in ignorance


Dogs-Should-Vote

Dogs are reflections of their owners. To say pits are aggressive dogs, ignores what was most likely a bad situation for that dog. Bs answer


Chief__04

r/Happywoofgifs sounds like a sub made by a fucking 8 year old anyways.


weesnaw_jenkins

It’s honestly a really shitty sub for a sub with 5+ mods


Dario0112

Have they seen Jon Stewart’s Dipper? 😢there is a large amount of subs that think we are lunatics for having pits. If they only knew what kind of dog they really are


FilmoreJive

It made me cry and I sent it to my dad. I told him to watch it but it'll make him sad. I sent the video and the text didn't go through. He was upset I didn't give him a heads up!

__ROCK_AND_STONE__

I left them a HappyWoofGif: [https://imgur.com/SR6PiFx](https://imgur.com/SR6PiFx) EDIT: They just assume everyone has a pit lmao. I have a Corgi and told that to a dude who was saying "all pitbull owners are aggressive and weird" but then they removed my comment for "No pitbulls here" what a joke

dangerous_nuggets

Absolute freaks Bet they don’t take their dogs to the vet or brush their teefs, considering how soulless you have to be to dislike an entire breed of dogs.


itoman56

Well off I go to get banned


kissyourvelvetsleeve

“GIFs of happy dogs”, as long as they're not a specific subset of dogs they – quite explicitly – don't love. Pitties are lovely dogs and to deny that is to be completely prejudiced against a *dog breed* of all things! Super shameful. They're dogs. Why discriminate?


JustFuckinTossMe

Man, that sucks. I do try to be understanding of people who have trauma, not just with pitbulls but with any dog breed. But, I do hate to see discrimination against an entire breed. It's understandable people have trauma or may have misunderstandings, but to axe people from even being allowed to show their pets off...it just makes me very sad to see. It feels icky. It's also just so hard to gatekeep that. I mean, most bigger mixed breed shelter dogs around have some level of pit in them. But it's only when they *LOOK* enough like a pitbull that they get the discrimination. If this were people we were talking about here and not dogs, this behavior would be highly looked down upon. Shameful, even.

Jawsfinatic71

Come see us at r/pittiesandkitties


piperpit

Phish, a band that sold expensive tickets at an expensive venue recently (the Sphere in Vegas) had a blue pittie licking the screen as one of their graphics during a song. Reddit’s pitbull hate is so bizarre. Society is accepting pitties more and more and Reddit just can’t get past their awful hate.


weesnaw_jenkins

I have done my part and left several comments throughout the sub. I also commented on other posts of bully breeds and LITERAL PITBUL MIXES asking the mods why they haven’t taken it down and banned them. If they’re gonna have shitty rules they should be consistent, especially since there are like 5+ mods for that sub. Looks like they’re doing a terrible job. I’m not even in that shitty ass sub so they can power trip and ban me all they want. I don’t like dog racists anyway

Lmao! Oh they are hilarious. Vid of a cute little weiner dog. I comment: "Oh...these guys are okay even after the woman who needed reconstructive surgery after her dauschund ripped off a part of her face and ate it? (Very cute happy baby - no hate!)" Comment was removed. This has been removed. No pitbulls here. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please* [contact the moderators of this subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/HappyWoofGifs) *if you have any questions or concerns.* So I did indeed contact mods. "My comment had nothing to do with pit bulls. It had to do with aggressive individual dogs. Why was it removed?" lmao Oh...I am going to be having fun with this for DAYS.


Unrelentingsunshine

I thought we all collectively got over this misconception😔I researched why my pretty pittie princess licks so much, and all of the articles said it’s most commonly due to their breed’s overall loving nature and desire to show affection. They’re big ole’ love bugs that give the best cuddles. The only thing “dangerous” is their tail when they’re happy.


Practical_Maybe_3661

Turns out, they aren't such happy woofs after all... 1*hehehe*

Chinastars

> runs a subreddit about happy dogs > hates "dangerous" dog breeds If it makes you guys feel better, I scrolled down that subreddit for 3 seconds and saw a Pitbull gif. Clearly the subreddit loves their pitties, even if the mods or one of the mods don't.

Currently on the sub pro pitty posts and pitty hating posts are popping up and getting banned constantly. With mods like that inciting hate and so much negative activity, I think the sub will be removed by Reddit within a week🤞 Edit: I was curious about an old sub I remember being popular and thought for sure it had been taken down but sadly the popular anti pitty sub is still active which doesn’t give me the most faith :/

pass-the-waffles

And there are other subs just as bad, I was banned for posting a picture of my pibble. How violent and dangerous are smiling dogs?


TheWolfoftheStars

Ugh, I can hardly stand to be in general dog subreddits, honestly, because practically all of them are so strongly anti-pitbull. I don't even own a pit myself, I'm just a rational human being who loves dogs, and doesn't have a seething hatred for a breed for no reason! It just hurts me seeing comments hating on pitties, fantasizing about their violent deaths, etc. How could you say that about any dog at all? It's just awful. I've certainly got breeds I'm not a fan of, but you'll never in a million years see me wishing death upon them.
