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!"

I ended up watching about half of Eight Below on, I think, a bus. I got all mushy at the end.

...no pun intended.
