I want to believe it’s a bit mocking the childfree subreddit

But also it’s so…

I checked the subreddit, it’s completely unironic comedy gold.

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.

I’m betting it started off as a joke sub and then a bunch of misocynics showed up for real

Why the fuck is there a subreddit called /r/dogfree? Dogs are rad

What if you took all the ridiculous behavior of anti-natalists and made them anti-pet?

I’m not a reddit or about it but I think dogs being everywhere in public is kind of annoying.

Furthermore, I think dogs being treated like people in a society which has such extreme poverty is emblematic of a deep sickness.

And what’s the solution? Treating the dogs worse?

The solution is to fix poverty not complain about dogs, like right wingers complain about immigrants.

It’s the classic western thing where we acknowledge a problem and then decide on the dumbest possible solution, which we somehow make 3x as expensive and also individualist.

Animals aren’t people. So yes they literally should have less care and resources put towards them.

Note: I’m not saying abuse dogs or some shit but the average suburban golden retriever in the US has better living conditions than 50% of the people on the planet. Nothing pisses me off more than when we have entire industries that revolve around pampering wealthy people’s pets. I see advertisements with sad music whining about animals eating the same processed food and instead you should feed them fresh meat or fish. Pet food consumption would make it the 5th largest country in terms of consuming meat products. Guess what the biggest driver of deforestation is? Part of fixing poverty is removing wasteful bourgeois elements in society. In wealthy dominating nations there needs to be reduced consumption across the board. That includes Fido.

Fuck off with the comparison to rhetoric about immigrants. You’re showing your entire ass.

Saying that dogs being fed and treated better than people is fucked up is not saying abuse dogs. “emblematic of a deep sickness” is not making any moral claims besides stating that “it’s kinda fucked up we treat dogs better than people”. I really don’t think that’s controversial.

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.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
