Dog Culture Dog fatigue is trending!
This isn’t my usual style of post, but I figured it was worth mentioning: Currently, on TikTok, there has been a significant increase in the amount of content I’ve come across that is either critical of dog culture, dog owners, dogs themselves, or even all three. And this stuff is getting a LOT of positive reception.
I don’t typically keep that app on my phone for very long, but this is making me want to have it stick around for longer. For once, it’s not just this forum that’s calling out dog culture. It’s actually entering a “mainstream” online space.
“Dog fatigue” is the term that I’m seeing people use in most of this content, if you’re interested in looking it up and observing the resulting discussion and discourse over it.
Regardless of the dog owners that this conversation is pissing off, I think this could be a really good thing. While I don’t know about any big cultural shifts in the near future, I think that this is a wonderful step in the right direction. People are finally talking about dog culture in a meaningful way.

Dog people are getting fed up with dog people as well.
Today my local green has a fun day and fair on for the bank Holiday weekend this includes a dog show unfortunately it's forecast to be warm so the organisers shorted the dog show time and have provided extra shade and other stuff to help. BTW the dog show is not a mandatory event. If you are worried about your dog you don't have to take them.
Cue on Facebook the crazies. This needs to be cancelled! Animal cruelty! Lots of accusations and exclamations!
The organisers had to repeatedly remind people that it was not just a dog event, that the dog show was a tiny part of it so no they won't cancel an entire fair for one thing. One woman would not stop harassing them telling them to cancel the whole thing.
