Old Yeller

[peterfaParticipant 833]

Old Yeller is a Disney film where the main protagonist dies. Well, that’s just odd for a Disney film. I didn’t even know what Old Yeller was about, I thought it was just some really old and dumb dog show. Well, I was wrong. Old Yeller is about a dog that dies. OK, fine, animals die and that’s one reason why I don’t want a pet. I just don’t want to fall in love with it and have it die on me.

Well, what’s really sad about the movie is Old Yeller dies because he’s put down, but not because he breaks a leg, but because he gets rabies. Now that’s a tear-jerker right there. I’m not watching it now for sure.

Imagine a teenage boy waking up one morning and realizing something is seriously wrong with his dog. His beloved dog who saved him, went hunting, and everything, is now hostile. It’s like the dog doesn’t know him any more. The dog is deranged. The teenager struggles with the reality of his deranged dog until the town finally convinces him it’s time to do the worse. Old Yeller is no longer there. Old Yeller is rabid and needs to die.

The dog is shot.

The dog is remembered for his pre-diseased state, the dog that he was. The dog was beloved, but his braid fell under disease and Old Yeller is a dog, couldn’t stop his own impulses, and turned hostile even on his beloved master.

I see similarity in MGTOW, that relationship is like Old Yeller. It used to be a thing of beauty, but Old Yeller is now rabid. The whole system we have in society is gynocentric but with commercialization, industrialization, mass communication, and rancid arrogant narcissism, hope of an actually functioning relationship with a woman is dwindling.

The dog is rabid, and the hope for women is scant. MGTOW is to shoot that dog, to kill relationships with women.

Can’t say I’ve ever looked at it that way before, but the analogy is not far off the mark (at-least in the eyes of how men tend to view it). I am colloquially familiar with the Old Yeller story, but I’ve never seen it; I’ll have to try and watch it now that you’ve called it to my mind. I think the analogy would be really astute if Old Yeller was a con-artist of a dog (like something out of a C. M. Coolidge painting) and then got so over-confident in his abilities that he simply started attacking his mark to force him to hand over his money without all the games. Call me crazy but that is more of what feminism looks like to me. There is a dose of drunk sarcastic humor is in here but I hope you get where I am coming from; and I see the general thrust of your point and agree.

At the end of the show Old Yeller had knocked up a bitch. There were yellow puppies running around. He was gone so he didn’t have to take care of them. I could see a correlation to MGTOW with Arlis? the young man who shot the dog. He gave it a day or so to see if it had rabies. He loved the dog. He then had to do what was necessary, and go against his feelings. Take the red pill. In the end he took a blue one when he accepted the new puppy. And he got a new pinto pony.

Many times I’ve watched that movie.

@pascal. It almost looks like Old Yeller humping the tiger on your avatar.

That explains the rabies.
