Breedism In Jurassic World

In Jurassic World there is a line by Dr. Henry Wu where he says "you cannot have an animal with exaggerated predator features without the corresponding behavioral traits." This is breedism or at least something very close, it's the closest world I could find to what I am trying to talk about. Basically a type of essentialism.

So there is this false belief that animals such as pitbulls are inherently bloodthirsty and violent because of their genetic makeup. As everyone should know this is false, and that a pitbull being aggressive is because of how they are treated and raised. This concept is called breedism and some nitwits try to play it not just to animals, but some more dangerous ideas.

So this line about the Indominus Rex is playing off of the idea that the I. Rex is somehow inherently bloodthirsty because it was given these traits, that somehow it is just evil because of behavior that is caused by genetics. The also seemed to further imply this just inherently aggressive and evil by saying the I. Rex ate it's sibling. While ignoring siblicide is not uncommon in the natural world, including among dinosaurs aka birds.

So while they were probably intending for this to be a message about playing God, it doesn't work because of this line. Basically impact vs. intent. Written by Eris the Lorekeeper

I just learned there is honestly a movement around the term “breedism”, comparing caring about dog breeds to racism, and that PETA has made KKK comparisons concerning this and I... just....

I feel so ignorant for not having known this and it was a definite case of ignorance is bliss

How clueless and racist do you have to be to pull this kind of comparison I never wanna hear this term again

Re: racism in anti-pit bull sentiments

There is plenty of racism in pro-pit bull sentiments as well. You'll find racism wherever there are white people, basically.

There was one I remember of a pit bull in a headdress saying something like "they want to eliminate me, too" its sooo gross. They call it "breedism" and there are a ton of white peoplel on the internet that say its as bad as racism.

I've also noticed a lot of the people in pit bull advocacy will immediately talk badly about michael vick but will bend over backwards to defend a white person as "wrongly accused" of dog fighting.

I just wanted to let you know the dog in your side pic (which looks fake) isn't a pitbull. Also, I hate ugly motherfuckers like you. You say it about my harmless dogs, I say it about your terrible self.

Isn't it interesting that only pit bull advocates can identify a pit bull on site, but anyone who does not care for them can't "spot the pit bull"? its bullshit. 

You’re dog is only ‘harmless’ until it attacks, then its “never shown signs of aggression before”. Do you honestly think that you are the only one who boasted about their pit bull being sweet or harmless, only to have it attack? That cognitive dissonance is why the dine and dash phenomenon exists, where a pit brutally attacks another dog and then the owner flees the scene to avoid accountability. They cannot cope with the disparity between bragging about the peacefulness of their dog and the unpredictable, brutal aggression exhibited by the same animal. I hope it never happens to you (I don’t wish harm on strangers bc I am not a total piece of shit), but if it does it won’t exactly be shocking. Thats what they were bred for, and you can’t love the DNA out of a dog. 

The dog in my pic is from a pit bull breeder. The breeder and his customers don’t seem to feel that its a fake dog or picture.

I swear wanting one of these dogs is a redflag for a personality disorder. Sane advice like "find a place to live where your dog is actually welcome" was not dispensed. These crazies consider owning a pit bull a civil rights issue on par with race and disability rights. 

No one is obligated to live around any dog or any type of dog they are not comfortable with. I have no obligation to put someone's easily wounded ego over my own fucking safety.

"In tests given by the American Temperament Test Society pit bulls consistently do better than many other breeds--including beagles and border collies. Not only do they bite proportionately less often than many other dog breeds, we see a much smaller percentage of fatal attacks by pit bulls than by other large breeds, when statistics take into account the far greater numbers of pit bulls in the population."
