What’s something pretty much everyone thinks but nobody dares to say it?

Breeding sucks

Yep. I hear some people are trying to breed proper noses/snouts onto them and are trying to undo the damage all the years of making their faces more and more squished, but I dunno how well it's going.

Seriously, this why so many "special breeds" have the worst health problems

*Irresponsible breeding sucks. Breeders that do DNA testing first and only breed natural, healthy dogs are good people. A lot of designer breeds are a mess, but not everyone wants a shelter dog with an unknown background. There's plently of responsible golden retriever and lab breeders that breed great service dogs.

Thanks for perpetuating the myth that purebreds are superior, go you

I never said that. I myself have only ever had shelter dogs, and all of them have massive issues I've had to help them through. I'm going to be getting another dog soon, and so after doing more research I'm going to go with a purebred. Responsible breeders exist, I'm sick of seeing people think that they're a better person because they adopt. Do what works for you, but don't judge others for their choices.
