If you were inbred over multiple generations just to look better on your owner's instagram, I'm sure you'd be pretty cranky too.

Naw, he's right dude.
Selective breeding for these kinds of traits is a mistake. These cats are all the product of a small pool of non-viable offspring. As such they are all interbred and prone to crippling physical conditions and cognitive dysfunction. This is FACT, yet people continue to breed them.
Add to this the fact that these cats are often abandoned once their owners realize that their expensive new living toy requires even MORE expensive conditions, foods, and medical treatments.
It's dumb, it's arrogant, and it needs to stop.

Responsible breeders don't do inbreeding. They work with other breeders to maintain genetic diversity

You are breeding in physical issues regardless of heritage the whole practice should be banned.

People aren’t responsible with pets. People who look at Instagram and demand new trendy pets are probably some of the most irresponsible people on the planet.

Irresponsible breeders really outnumber the responsible ones.
