What assumptions can be made about people who have pets named whimsical nonsense vs normal names?
NORMAL: Joe, Max, Shirly, June, Charlie, Odin, Thor, etc.

WHIMSICAL NONSENSE: Bluey, Pickles, Sparkle, Carmel, Charcoal, Honigkuchenpferd, basically any give stripper's name, etc.

...and what political affiliations do you suppose the ones giving their pets these stupid names identify with?

I think the people that judge others for having harmless fun are a lot worse.

Have you no sympathy for the torture these poor creatures go through being given demoralizing names?

Nah, but I have sympathy for human children that get weird names.

Who cares if you name your furbaby Minerva or something?

bro the animals don't understand english. you can say whatever you want to a cat or dog and as long as you say it nicely they'll be happy. I call my cat a fat dumbass constantly but he never seems to get mad about it

Dogs actually do understand a lot of words.

Of course they understand some words, ESPECIALLY their freaking own names. All of our beloved pets deserve to have dignified names!

Who the fuck cares? Why do you consider that relevant? Why does your mind go there first?

There's nothing weird about naming a pet after their coloration.
Besides it doesn't really matter since every single pet owner will just refer to their pet by an increasingly convoluted string of nicknames.
And the only time I call my cat by his actual name is when I'm making a vet appointment.

there's an entire race of humans literally derogatively called 'niggers' which comes from 'negro' meaning 'black'. You might as well call your black dog 'Nigger' using your logic.

You do realize that was a super common name for black cats and dogs, right? Lovecraft's (father's) cat wasn't unique.

My cat is named Coconut and I don't vote, my broad political affiliation is anarcho-fascist.
