Who's a good wank? You are! You are!
An anon at [info]fandomsecrets is very concerned about typecasting huskies. So upset, in fact, that they make a secret about it.

"stereotype's there for a reason, though- they're highly active working dogs that need to be kept constantly engaged, a LOT of people who have them think they're cute and don't realize that, leading to destructive, unruly and often 'wicked' behaviour"

"and this absolves media of always sticking to the stereotypes

why, the black character is from the hood yet again?

but, stereotypes are there for a reason!"


"What is this, We Can't Read Day? It's not about anger, it's about how damn predictable it is to pick out the troublemaker in a sled dog movie before he even does anything. Right up there I indicate that I'd appreciate being surprised about it for once."

"OP here: The secret says 'Huskies who look like this', not 'huskies'. It's about the facial markings, not the breed. If I'd used an adult with that bandit mask it might have been easier to spot. Who could be mad and little puppy wuppy, even if he does have The Face."

Of course, then we have: What I'm getting from this thread is that apparently most people can't tell dogs' faces apart. Media huskies really do look all alike to you? German Shepherds? Bulldogs? You scare me, internet. Too much time looking at cats.

YOU CAN TAKE OUR FREEDOM BUT YOU WILL NEVER TAKE OUR CAT PICTURES!

Oh, also, an example of a dog racism bumper sticker.

And, finally, we have: SOSHUL EXPERIMENT!

But wait! Is there room for one more bombshell reveal? WHY YES, I BELIEVE THERE IS!

"Read through about half of this thread, and couldn't take it anymore. It's amazing how hyped up people are about a fairly inoffensive thing. I'm ashamed of myself for getting so hyped. I tried to walk away and focus my energies on something important, but I could not resist. DAMN YOU INTERNET.

People only mentioned two movies, Eight Below and Snow dogs. The masked dogs in those movies has the same canine actor in both films. Did any of you ever stop to think that masked dog in both those movies is the same actor and is used for those roles because. A) He has a really distinctive face and is easy for the audience to recognize or B) He is a really well-trained dog. So he can preform the difficult tricks needed for the rebel/troublemaker role."


OH SNAP!


Bonus non-wanky lulz: "Well, I completely missed the meaning of this secret. I thought it was related to shapeshifter AUs in fanfiction, with a specific type of character always being portrayed as that type of dog.

Carry on."


Also, concentrating on the IMPORTANT things!
"That puppy is so adorable and such pretty eyes!"

They're wanking... about a certain fur pattern on a husky.

Yup.

Not to mention the husky "mask" is considered a very desirable trait by breeders. The creator of the Alaskan Klee Kai breed--basically, miniature huskies--deliberately bred it in so that almost all Klee Kais have the "mask" markings.

This may well go down as one of the stupidest wanks ever, but damned if it doesn't make me smile. Because PUPPIES.

*googles sled dog movies*

Iron Will; Eight Below; Call of the Wild; Balto; Snow Dogs; Born to Run; See You In Nome! An Iditarod Rookie Journey; White Fang; Iditarod: Toughest Race on Earth; Iditarod.

I've at least heard of a few of these? Mostly because of Jack London.

There's also the North Pole episode of Top Gear where Richard Hammond and a professional sled explorer race a car to the pole. The dogs feature heavily.

Um...oh dear, I don't have any puppy .GIFs...will you accept a thread where we all share pictures of our dogs?

This is Maggie, my older, yet smaller, poodle, dressed up during Christmas. She's also the dog in my icon, though that pic was taken before her eye surgery about a year ago. You can't see it in the newer pic, but her right eye was removed.

And this is Allie, our younger, yet bigger, one, sneaking a nap on my bed.

(Honestly, if any dog is stupidly typecast, it's probably poodles. Everyone thinks they're prissy snobs just because of all the owners that give their dogs stupid haircuts, but ohhhhhh, trust me, they're not...)

They think of you, probably holding a Bonio or something.

Yes, that. Right up until they started talking about dog movies.

What bothers me about sled dogs in movies is that they use Siberian huskies 'cause they're pretty, but very few mushers--and none who actually win races--use Siberians. "Slowberians", they call them. Most use Alaskan huskies or Chinooks. Not nearly as photogenic, but wow, are they ever fast.

I would have posted dog gifs but apparently photobucket now hates gifs and won't upload anything. Not even things tumblr allows.

It's not a puppy, but it is a dog. And it's a gif of the poor, typecast dog (Don Juan, or D.J.) who played both Demon in Snow Dogs and Max in Eight Below.

Before I actually read through the whole report, I thought they meant husky as in heavier guys. I prefer the dogs. They're cutier and less smelly.

"Ok, here you really are just being silly. "Internet = cat people only?" And implying that "cat people" are dumb...I mean come on.

Also there doesn't have to be a great big divide between Cat People and Dog People. You sound a bit juvenile here, imo.
