Negro Matapacos (“Cop-Killer Blackie”) was a famous stray dog from thestreets of Santiago who joined student protests across the city from 2010, and in particular during the 2011 movement for free education.
he was a stray dog from the streets of Santiago, and began joining student demonstrations in 2010. The following year, one of the biggest social movements since the fall of the military dictatorship began, fighting for free education and against neoliberal reforms to the education system.
Negro Matapacos was then seen regularly at every demonstration, defying tear gas and water cannons and always barking at or attacking only the riot police, and never any students or rioters. He subsequently continued to appear sporadically at future demonstrations, and hung out on university campuses, becoming beloved to student and radical movements as a symbol of resistance to violent authority.
His last days were spent resting with people who took him in, with a crowdfunded veterinarian.
Some people who knew him sent us some of their memories of him, telling us how he defied tear gas and water cannons, and only ever barked at or attacked police officers, and never students or rioters.
After his death, his legacy lives on in songs, street murals, an award-winning documentary and in the memories of all those who knew him. He was a good boy.

Theory:
I'm not who you're responding to but the entire reason "cocksucker" is considered an insult is culturally-normalized homophobia and we should stop using it as an insult. It's the same reason me and the other 90s kids no longer say "that's gay" when we don't like something.
I disagree. For a woman, sucking a "cock" is a degrading experience as well. A "cock sucker" is a sex slave regardless of gender. Nobody sucks a "cock" because they enjoy satisfying male sexual desires. They do it for money or social acceptance. It is insulting someone by saying they are oppressed economically or socially to the point of prostitution. This is why it is a problematic insult.
that attitude is a big part of understanding cocksucker as a pejorative, but it's also not true.
Oral sex can be done out of love and/or mutual enjoyment. "Sucking cock" implies a power imbalance. The cock owner exploits the sucker for their own gratification with little or no regard for the sucker's wants or needs.
Why do you find the idea of pleasuring a sexual partner degrading? To me at least, trying to make each other feel good and to satisfy each other's desires is just a central part of having sex.
Oral sex isn't degrading but "sucking cock" is. A sex worker sucks cock. A sexual partner engages in oral sex.

Exact same argument made by chuds who want to say the N word.
Honestly nvm why am i even arguing, I just remembered (yes i said it an hour ago im dronk) hexbear upvoted Naomi wu +100 without a single word about homophobia when she used the word. This is literal concern trolling, like, lol.
not the argument you think it is
sure thing, hexbear poster posting via more lib instance after ??? happened
so everyone who has ever sucked a cock in human history is gay right, while we're ignoring shit in each other's posts
"It's not always homophobic, it can also be misogynist"? That's the defense you're going with?
P.s Sorry i called you a motherfucker, in case it's not obvious I DON'T think you fuck your mother or anyone else's
sorry there are further levels of gender and interactions there you cannot grasp but yes, idk, what do you think you're saying if "cocksucking" is inherently HOMOphobic? You're restricting it to male-male interactions? like, what?
And again, nobody has told me exactly what nature of bigotry is being performed in calling a cat "a little cocksucker," j/s. Sorry bubbles, you're a homophobe
I hate word prescriptivist motherfuckers trying to tell me how to talk, like you know what goes on on my head. I say "cocksucker" because it flows in the moment i use it in and sounds good and satisfies whatever anger i feel that needs an invective and i resent being told that I'm a fucking bigot for it
Honestly, for real, imo it's people JUST BEING NERDS. Like, for real, how often do you think people say SHIT and think about actual shit? Every time somebody says shit they're thinking of doodoo ass poopoo? That's what the WORD means, right? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
And every time someone says FUCK, they're thinking of FUCKING right? Why else would they say the word, right? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Fuck all the way off with this shit lmao
glad I don't get this fucking obnoxious when I'm drunk. using the word that way is saying the act is a negative, insulting thing when there's absolutely nothing wrong or insulting about sucking dick. learn to take criticism and stop being a baby
