AIBU to be livid how dolphins are portrayed compared to how they are?

I am angry and sick and tired of how dolphins try and make out they are nice and friendly and cute when they are anything but. They are one of the most aggressive species in the animal kingdom, regularly involved in GANG RAPES of other dolphins that sometimes goes on for days, they also kill their OWN children so that the mother pays more attention to her husband dolphin so he can have sex with her without her being distracted by her child and they also are aggressive to humans when nobody is looking (I.e in the sea when nobody is around, not when they have an audience like at a sea world centre) But everyone says “aww dolphins are so cute and so friendly” but their not.

I think it’s because they look like they are always smiling and laughing that people think they are cute, but to me they look like they have evil eyes and cackling rather than laughing. People say alligators and crocodiles and snakes are evil what about dolphins? People only see the tame ones that like to show off to humans and do tricks and let us swim with them and stroke them and think all dolphins are like that but the ones in the wild are a different matter altogether.

Plus, people say that dolphins are clever because they use clicks to communicate with each other. Has nobody stopped to think that they may be clicking and conspiring amongst themselves?

I’m actually fuming, only because I just got back from someone showing holiday pics and they were going on and on about the dolphins and how they were so cute and I told them dolphins aren’t cute and they are dangerous and would they swim with and pet crocodiles? They Didn’t get why it was the same but any animal can turn against you and I have even saw footage of a dolphin purposely try to drown a human and drag them underwater. AND they also kill other sea baby animals and play volleyball with them, they don’t even eat them or are threatened by them, they just do it for a laugh. Why are they seen as friendly animals?

Isn't this the 3rd remake of A Star is Born?

Does he still commit suicide to stop holding her back I wonder? Wink

Lweji · 10/10/2018 07:07

Yes, poor dick.
Being a dick can be hard.

SuspiciouslyMinded · 10/10/2018 02:14

Everybody knows dolphins are aliens - out to get us, the bastards!

And I’m really sorry for that poor nearly-drowned, gang-raped dick you mentioned in the post above.

WhereistheWit · 09/10/2018 22:29

I can’t stop laughing 😂 ‘fuming’ about dolphins. Best post I’ve seen for ages

Otherwize · 09/10/2018 21:53

These posts have been mostly funny 😂

Ducks sound horrible and someone on here told me not to feed them bread anymore because it was bad for them but now I feel like throwing down whole loaves so they can suffocate themselves lol. I don’t even like animals that much and yet reading that post about that dick that died in the vet after that other poster rescued it on her oar after she was gang raped and nearly drowned and bleeding all over was absolutely harrowing.

I think we can all agree that wasps are just evil and nasty for no reason!
PS can anyone who has seen the new A Star Is Born tell me if it’s good ? NO spoilers.L pls

OP You ate the wrong damn mushrooms

I hope you've had a nice cup of cocoa since
.... and you weren't too stoned to feed the cat, or you will shortly have proof of which animal can be truly evil to humans.

Yanbu

I feel this way about kangaroos. I always see tourists here in Australia going over to pat kangaroos and I want to yell 'wtf are you doing?!'

picklemepopcorn · 09/10/2018 13:48

Monkeys and dogs go on strike if the reward for their work is unfair. I've seen an experiment on a video, so it must be true.

bemusedmoose · 09/10/2018 11:25

Hmmmm so when people say shark attack they actually mean dolphin but want to sound more macho....

All animals can be aggressive, they generally dont like other creatures in their space - bit like humans really - pretty evil a as a species they rape and commit domestic violence frequently just like dolphins, doesnt make us all evil though.

Lweji · 09/10/2018 10:39

How about A-dolphin Hitler?
They are evil enough.

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day

minniebirdy · 09/10/2018 09:30

Dolphins, like most animals and certainly people, have very different personalities. Some kind and gentle, others not. We accept this in people. There are many stories of dolphins rescuing people etc. I once accidentally swam with a group of them as a child when they steered me to the shore in rough seas.

MorningsEleven · 09/10/2018 09:30

No wonder they can't be arsed with a shag... They are too tired!

They're probably anaemic. They should eat some fish, it turns dolphins sex mad.

onegiftedgal · 09/10/2018 09:16

Sure you haven't confused them with orcas?
Love the irony of you thinking that visiting a Sea Life Centre is showing kindness to these animals whereas what they do naturally in the wild should be stopped in some way - I'm in stitches 😂😂😂

MooseAndSquirrel · 09/10/2018 08:07

Op I totally agree!!

The slippery fake fishy bastards have given me rage for years... They are savage and I've never understood why people think they are adorable. They are sex driven rapey knobheads.... At least a shark is honest about their bitey nature.

Pandas are also stupid and clearly want to die - no idea why we give them so much effort and money!
They are obsessed with bamboo, that they are not only terrible at digesting, but as its got such low nutritional value they need to spend all day munching it... No wonder they can't be arsed with a shag... They are too tired!
Ffs have some meat or dam vegetables (that you can actually digest) you fluffy idiots and stop being so bloody dramatic!

Also, pp saying we can't project morals on wild animals, it's nature so they have no concept of consent/rape,
Well then, why are there so many courtship displays all through the animal kingdom... Males dance, flounce, show their colours and/or butt's, fight off other males, flex about, all in the hope that the ladies take a fancy and let them have their wicked way.

Plus we don't actually know animals don't have concepts of rape and right/wrong.
We just assume - for all we know, they all could have highly evolved sense of right and wrong but, they just enjoy being bastards.
Clicky, quacking rapey bastards.

(no drugs or gin here... Sadly, just some of us see the truth...)

Animals exist largely by instinct and have no human level of consciousness so cannot be held to account for their actions.

OK, but you can say the same about Brett Kavanaugh. What about the victims?

Allycumpooster · 09/10/2018 07:42

It’s the same with sheep, people think they are just harmless fluffy farm animals.
They are the BORG I tell you!

headinhands · 09/10/2018 06:55

I feel your pain op. I thought badgers were all cute and special and the 'poster animal' of peace loving woodland animals, and then I found out they EAT BABY RABBITS.

Teacher22 · 09/10/2018 06:49

Anthropomorphism much.

Animals exist largely by instinct and have no human level of consciousness so cannot be held to account for their actions.

Well , I say that, but the kitten on YouTube who keeps pushing the dog back through the cat flap looks as if it know what it is doing.

🤣🤣🤣

AvantFunk · 09/10/2018 02:21

I've always been a little bit envious of people like OP who can just get so far out of the box on recreational drugs. I've tried a few of them and never come to any profoundly ridiculous musings like this.
