Then you've carved out your own personal definition of "bastard" and shouldn't be surprised when people don't understand what you're talking about.

"Bastard" ≠ "dangerous as hell and not to be trusted"

This is - frankly - an issue endemic to the ACAB crowd. I've had people carrying that torch claim that "all" doesn't mean "all," and now you're essentially saying "bastard" doesn't mean "bastard."

    I wasn’t the person who originally commented, nor would I exactly consider them bastards (either no dogs are bastards or they all are, depending on how literally you define it, if you ask me), but I was trying to weigh in on the negative aspects of police dogs.

    Though for what it’s worth, I don’t think there’s functionally a difference between “bastard” and “possibly harmful and untrustworthy.” If someone warns me someone else is a bastard, I’ll take from it that they’re untrustworthy and possibly harmful.

    But I was just looking for a lighthearted chat, and it seems like you’re trying to be serious, so maybe my commentary here is unwelcome.
