Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

This is what I came here to ask, (though my articulation was going to be closer to "LOL WAT") I mean, come on. I have never seen huskies portrayed in a negative light, because the kind of fiction that includes huskies in the first place tends to be survival/dogsledding stuff, which favors them for being intelligent, trainable, and extremely strong. So what the hell?

It really feels like in terms of 'bandit face' husky colorings, this particular specification must be so few and far between that it's not a true stereotype. If there is, it can't be much different from the whole 'raccoons are mischievous!' idea that is based in the way they look and behave. It certainly isn't stopping people from seeing how beautiful these dogs are and buying them, so I doubt the huskies themselves care...

I see this secret as a waste of anger. Direct some of that toward human racism...

[(Anonymous)]

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.

[(Anonymous)]

ahaha, the best thing about these kind of secrets is that the OPs get so butthurt over the fact that their totally obscure and ridiculous rant isn't immediately embraced by all of the internet.

yeah, you keep being mad about all the MILLIONS of sled dog movies out there. i'll be waiting for the next one to see if you'll be pissed off when it debuts (though i might be waiting for awhile...)

[(Anonymous)]

Naw, it's all good. I'm really surprised at how un-dog-knowledgeable y'all are though.

[(Anonymous)]

i've owned dogs all my life and never a cat, and i still don't know what you think you're proving here. whatever you have going on has nothing to do with being 'dog knowledgeable' and everything to do with being crazy.

[(Anonymous)]

This. Discussion over. Everyone go home now.

[(Anonymous)]

Y so serious?

[(Anonymous)]

This is the internet, we prefer cats.

[(Anonymous)]

Suckers.

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck you, I don't.

[(Anonymous)]

Look, the trouble is you didn't explain in the secret that you were talking about sled dog movies. I have never actually watched a sled dog movie, and I'm not sure I've seen any movies with more than one husky, so the secret just left me nonplussed.

What you want to do here is say "Ooooops, I didn't realize other people were operating in a different frame of reference" not get defensive and accuse people of poor reading comprehension.

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP

I would think the phrase 'look like this' would have been enough to indicate that it wasn't a breed complaint though.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

I did pick up that it wasn't a breed complaint, which actually made me more confused, because I couldn't think of any movies with multiple huskies available to be stereotyped by their appearances.

Then I found out it was sled dog movies, and it all made sense.

[(Anonymous)]

I picked up on the fact that it wasn't a breed complaint, but jumped to the conclusion that it was about eye color.

(I know a couple of people IRL who find blue-eyed dogs creepy/suspicious-looking, so them being stereotyped in films wouldn't entirely surprise me.)

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen people mention this about amber-eyes dogs, like weimaraners. Also ran across this quote once:

"I am quite firmly convinced that the frequent prohibition in breed standards against light eyes is due to the fact that dogs with a light eye color look more predatory, like wolves. Light eyes are creepy, they remind us of predators. Can’t have that, can we?"

Personally, I think they're gorgeous. (And have a sneaking fondness for one-blue-one-brown huskies.)

[diet_poison]

I don't get this response at all. People post secrets ALL THE TIME about fandoms that are really specific and don't always specify what kind of fandom it is. Usually it's more popular fandoms so people don't lose their shit about the fact that they don't recognize it right away.

It's ok for someone to post a secret about a fandom you don't get. It makes sense for them to be posting from a frame of reference that isn't yours. I never saw anyone assume that everyone HAS to get and understand sled dog movies. Hell, I've only ever really watched one; it's not like something I'm super into or anything, but it's ok if OP is. If you don't really watch many things with huskies, why get in on this secret and be so condescending and make so much noise? Why not just say, "Oh, this is a part of fandom I'm not really in, isn't it," and scroll past?

[(Anonymous)]

da

because op(?)/anon is being purposefully trolltastic about it

seriously, they admitted it like twice in the thread already

[diet_poison]

ok that's true and OP is being obnoxious, but does everyone really have to be obnoxious back?

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

I'm not! I'm just the person going around saying it makes so much more sense in the sled dog context!

Whenever someone posts an unlabeled secret from a non-mainstream fandom, someone will want to know what on earth they're talking about.

[(Anonymous)]

Except 90% of all huskies in the media have the same goddamn look. Do you have a special radar? Because I find it really hard to pick out the trouble maker when nearly all of the dogs have the same look to them. Considering the mask markings are the most well recognized looks for huskies, I am not surprised in the slightest that it is the most used type. Lord only knows how you can pick it out.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't know much about dogs, I take it. There's a variety of husky markings frequently used in the media.

[(Anonymous)]

lmao, what the hell. whether someone perceives a great difference between huskies presented in the media has nothing to do with 'knowing much about dogs'. are you for real? this is a joke.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't know much else, I take it. Protip: obscure and pointless "knowledge" does not make you superior.

[(Anonymous)]

Not so much- they have a pretty specific profile they want. No piebalds (ie, white round with disconnected spots of color), they prefer dark pigment, must have blue eyes, and they preer an open mask to bars and goggles. (The puppy in the gif has 'goggles' but those'll fade once the dog grows up- they're less picky on casting puppies since there's a narrower window for filming there most of the time- you'll notice that husky puppies in animated stuff don't have the goggles.)

-not an OP (who really could care less about the wank) but a husky owner who does commercial work with her dogs

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't think it could get any stupider than bagged milk wank or do you store your spices on your oven wank, but then here comes husky face pattern wank.
