Literally any post about pit bulls on Reddit gets nuked with posts hating on pitties

I hate to say it but if we're talking just stats they got a point...

People don't understand that there are no bad dogs. Only bad owners.

Yeah, cause nature of animals never overrides their training (it does plenty)

Pitties are not naturally over aggressive. They're trained to be over aggressive by some people.

This exactly. Putties actually have one of the lower aggression ratings.

That's because pitbulls and other guard breeds attack without warning whereas other dogs growl or bare their teeth first.

Afaik Pitbulls are a group largely negatively impacted by incorrect stereotypes. American pitbull terriers and American Staffordshire terriers (pitbulls) are strong, confident, loyal, and eager to please. They are known as great companion dogs and typically do well with children. According to the United Kennel Club and American Kennel Club, they will show some dog aggression if not appropriately socialized, but aggressive behavior towards humans is uncharacteristic. In other words, it usually isn't the dog, it's the owner.
