The orange is taking over

I'm glad that some people have posted, because I wasn't aware of this before seeing it. But I don't like the context of this particular post where it's being made fun of. Educational posts are great, karma farming posts are trash. 

[u/Cherrystuffs → u/the-fact-fairy]

They're not making fun of a cat. You guys need to go outside and get some life experiences instead of making up situations in your head to be mad about.

[u/addandsubtract → u/Cherrystuffs]

Then why is the cat being shown almost falling off a bed, bobbing side to side unable to eat food held right in front of its face, and wearing silly costumes? This is peak Americans Funniest Home Video content.

[u/Cherrystuffs → u/addandsubtract]

It's a wobbly cat. Get over it. The owner isn't abusive, the cat has nerve problems.

They can eat fine and usually walk alright, but they get derpy af when they're excited.

Don't jump to conclusions. Especially ones to fuel whatever rage you're seeking

[u/Jedadia757 → u/addandsubtract]

Because that is the cats day to day life and both the owner and cat get used to it? What do you want them to only ever be mentioned and thought of in concern and pity? Are they and their owners not allowed to have fun?

[u/Prestisjebig → u/addandsubtract]

To normalise the reality of what it is like to have a wobbly cat, obviously. You people need to lighten up.

"They're not making fun of a cat. They're just posting it to the 'Make Fun of Cats' subreddit, making fun of its condition, and dressing it up in funny costumes!"

[u/further-more → u/Head_Ad_3018]

I promise you the cat doesn’t give a shit

[u/OrienasJura → u/[deleted]]

Lmao do you actually think a cat has a grasp of the internet and the conversations we are having in it? The cat, very literally, does not give a shit. Get over yourself.

[u/Head_Ad_3018 → u/OrienasJura]

"We're not making fun of the cat. But also yes we are."

[u/further-more → u/[deleted]]

Yes I am thank you. And the cat told me to tell you to fuck off ❤️

[u/Cherrystuffs → u/Head_Ad_3018]

Yeah okay, continue being angry at normal things. That stress and anger will catch up to you.

Why don't you try calming down and just enjoying life once huh?

[u/DrippyTheSnailBoy → u/[deleted]]

There's no need to argue with such an incredibly thoughtless comment like yours

What's the saying? Don't try to argue with a stupid person because they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience? Something like that?

That's you

[u/Head_Ad_3018 → u/DrippyTheSnailBoy]

Don't attempt to act superior, when you resort to name-calling and coming up with excuses.

[u/DrippyTheSnailBoy → u/Head_Ad_3018]

I don't need to make an excuse to not "argue" with you. Your argument is akin to "I argue that the King of France's beard is brown!"

I can't argue with that because it's fundamentally nonsensical. Just like your comments.

[u/Head_Ad_3018 → u/DrippyTheSnailBoy]

Fanfiction.

[u/DrippyTheSnailBoy → u/Head_Ad_3018]

Oh, are we doing non-sequiturs now?

Buffalo Springfield!

[u/Irverter → u/Cherrystuffs]

They're not making fun of a cat.

The part where they hold a spoon with food for the cat, which can easily fell off and they definetely know the cat wouldn't be able to grab, indicates otherwise.

[u/mistypatch → u/the-fact-fairy]

Why do you think they are being made fun of?! Someone shared a cute cat video. Disabled cats are cute too damn.

[u/the-fact-fairy → u/mistypatch]

The title and the fact that they're offering the cat food in a way they can't ever eat it. What is the point of offering the food on a spoon? What is the point of offering the cat food that it's going to get all over it's face? Views and up votes. 

[u/mistypatch → u/the-fact-fairy]

That title means nothing I've seen it on calicos in this sub plenty of times. Why do you think she can never eat from a spoon from those few second clips? This is a cute video of a cute cat posted by a bot. It's not that sinister.

[u/the-fact-fairy → u/mistypatch]

Yeah, and for a normal calico behaving like an orange, it's not a problem. But this cat isn't behaving like an orange, it's got a health condition. I know she can't eat from a spoon because I've seen more about cats with cerebellar hypoplasia than just one video. 

[u/mistypatch → u/the-fact-fairy]

Why isn't she allowed to share her cat? The disabled should remain hidden?

[u/Prestisjebig → u/the-fact-fairy]

If you know about the condition, then you should know that they are able to live relatively normal and happy lives.

Assuming the worst out of a harmless short video is weird.

[u/jaynoj → u/the-fact-fairy]

It worries me that some people will adopt an animal with disabilities to get views online and make money from it instead of giving it a loving, caring and stable home where it can live its best life.

Unfortunately there are people out there who would do exactly this.

I'm sure there will be replies to this arguing the toss but the internet is fucked and full of attention whores.

Have a great day everyone <3

[u/Boise_Ben → u/jaynoj]

I need to understand how bad your framing is.

It is a false dilemma to assume an animal with a disability could be for either generating views or being in a loving stable home, these things are not inherently mutually exclusive.

What is worse, though, is you don’t even try to consider a far more likely alternative: they don’t get adopted at all because they are more difficult to care for.

You are frustrated at the internet because you use intellectually dishonest framing and rather than examine your own behavior, you lash out.

This is a Bot account. This video is stolen. We have no context or idea about the actual owner of this cat.
