I was talking to someone the other day about how AHS on Reddit has organized and encouraged harassment, brigading, and doxxing behaviors directed at users and forums that don't support gender identity ideology. They told me that they had heard of something similar happening with... pitbull dog legislation. What? They linked me to this post about it. I'm just surprised because so many of the tactics described in this post-- getting users banned from other subreddits just because they participate in one disliked subreddit, brigading, doxxing, making a whole private Discord server devoted to planning how to get a subreddit banned-- are the same tactics that extremist TRAs use.

Has anyone else here heard of this...? I'm inclined to guess that this isn't as big a conflict as the one surrounding transgender ideology, but then again, I'm new to this topic.

So...wait...are these people trying to get legislation passed to ban pit bulls or the other way around?

I do know this fight has been going on for quite some time with breed-specific legislation (I had a pittie mix and he was the most amazing dog in the world so at one time I had skin in the game), but I was not aware of similar tactics being used.

Sorry, I'm way late to responding to you. The subreddit linked is trying to get legislation passed that will ban pitbulls by limiting breeding and enforcing spaying/neutering. People on the subreddit have been doxxed by a certain fanatic group of pro-pitbull enthusiasts. I was surprised by how similar their doxxing/harassment behavior seemed to that of TRAs.
