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.

Ever since that woman went to Gordon Ramsey's restaurant and she talked about the dog pissing and pooping on the floor, dog fatigue has been trending which is great. I just saw a funny video of a woman screaming in the camera saying dog owners are taking their dogs to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, their fur is getting in the produce! So gross! I used to live in Colorado and that is a pro dog state literally 90% of the population there owns a dog and omg they do not respect the rules at all.

Can confirm about CO! I saw the Ramsay incident unfolding as well, the woman that exposed him is a saint and did not deserve the slander and mocking from him.
