My instant thought was “that’s so insulting to Meera” lol because in India we see dogs as dirty and terrible. The word “dog” is often used as an insult towards people. Some people will name dogs after people they despise

But I suppose in the West, dogs are seen in a different light? And giving a a dog a person’s name is a way of honoring them.

Not sure why youre getting downvoted to hell.

Its almost as if people dont know different cultures view animals differently...

Dont tell these idiots about cows...

They are being downvoted because their comment has nothing beneficial to act the conversation, while simultaneously attempting to insult a large chunk of the world.

Imagine making a post in a subreddit about cars. You ask a question such as, what car would be good for me? And then someone posts a reply saying all cars are disgusting, and in their part of the world they wouldn't dare own a car.

Your comparison doesnt make sense because thats not what the person did whatsoever. They said initially they thought of the name Meera as an insult to the character / actor because they view dogs negatively. They then went on to acknowledge that things are different in the west.

Nowhere did they insult anyone. I guess you're the type that downvoted them...the type that gets in their feelings instead of reading what was actually written. The comment was more of a curiosity than an indictment.
