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?

ChipsAndKetchup. RTFT the dolphins are Boris Johnson.

I sort of agree with you, but i have a fear of spiders and being autistic means the end result isn't pretty (i have to get my 4 year old to rescue me as i have a complete meltdown) so as far as I'm concerned, black widows can go.fuck a duck.

Not All Dolphins Are Like That.

Bollox. Dolphins are proven to be highly intelligent.

I am sitting here struggling not to laugh out loud because if I do I will have to explain to two DCs about 'accidentally wanking off a dolphin'...

Blush thanks Oyster

0ccamsRazor · 07/10/2018 16:06

All you have to do is walk up close to a dolphin and wriggle your fingers at the smug fuckers. They absolutely hate that we have fingers and thumbs, whilst they are stuck forever more with their crappy flippers. It really pisses them off.

Not rape. They have no idea about consent.

So if a duck (as referenced repeatedly throughout this thread) is trying to swim away from a gang of ducks that are trying to rape her and drowning her in the process, that its ok because they are animals and haven’t got human brains? Dolphins do this regularly and yet people are enamoured and even have photos on holiday kissing them as they grin

Enough with the whataboutering. Ducks, swans, pandas, even fucking spiders. It's dolphins we're talking about here.

hannnnnnnxo · 07/10/2018 16:15

My god, stop personifying other animals and getting yourself worked up over nothing. Dolphins are not human, they are not committing the same acts that you would attribute to humans.

hannnnnnnxo · 07/10/2018 16:16

You should probably focus your useless energy on something actually important, you know, like human rapists/killers

Lweji · 07/10/2018 16:17

I blame Disney.

PhilODox · 07/10/2018 16:29

Alastair Reynolds writes about how evil and twisted dolphins are in one of his books. Admittedly, the dolphin is an individual who has been corrupted and peverted by his treatment by humans, but still....

PillowOfSociety · 07/10/2018 16:38

“I blame Disney”

Yes. And Princesses will be the next to be exposed for what they are. And small baby deer. You mark my words.

NADALT. A real drake does not take 'quack, quack, q-quaaak' followed by a bum wiggle as consent when he knows it's just too much bread talking.

They absolutely hate that we have fingers and thumbs, whilst they are stuck forever more with their crappy flippers.

Or is that what they want us to think? Has anyone actually tried to deglove a dolphin?

Do we even know how fact they can run if they decide to come after us?

If your speciesism isn't intersectional, it isn't speciesism.

marcopront · 07/10/2018 16:46

I am surprised no one has mentioned the hippopotamus. They are portrayed as cute animals with big mouths but they are one of the most dangerous animals.

HerRoyalFattyness · 07/10/2018 16:50

OP come on now.
Animals dont have human brains. Therefore they don't rape and murder as you say.
They literally act like animals!
So no, ducks drowning another duck while trying to mate with her is not rape and murder... it is ducks drowning another duck while trying to mate with her to continue the species.

DreamALittleDreamOf · 07/10/2018 16:51

I HATE DOLPHINS.

Hate them.

Once I ordered an Argos credit card with a duck on and a dolphin card arrived so I snapped it in half and ordered a new one.

Yes, I hate them that much.

ThatsWotSheSaid · 07/10/2018 16:54

What have the orcas done? Please don’t tell me black fish was all a lie and the fuckers deserved all they got? I can come to terms with dolphins and duck being bastards but not orcas!

Pickupthephone · 07/10/2018 16:55

What about grizzly bears, though? WHAT ABOUT GRIZZLY BEARS?

itsbritneybiatches · 07/10/2018 16:57

I've not read any of the replies and I am going to save it for later when I open the red wine.

There will be fireworks between DH and DSS later and I need to make myself scarce. This thread and a nice chianti is my plan.

Sera22 · 07/10/2018 17:00

Gosh, I'm off on holiday tomorrow and am meant to be going out on a dolphin watching boat later in the week. I was looking forward to it, now I'm bloody terrified!!

SecretWitch · 07/10/2018 17:02

Yabu. Take a hard look at rabbits.
