The AKC is a terrible organization that promotes asthetic breed standards over health. They set the norms and expectations for breeders.
There is an incredible movement happening primarily in western Europe to breed out brachycephalic traits from pugs both in pure bred lines and by crossing in longer snout breeds. These are known as retropugs or retromops.

FINE, "low hanging culinary vegetables".
Actually, that does sound more accurate.

Is this implying pugs are some kind of hideous monstrosity that spits in the face of god? When it's our fault they're like that?

its not "our" fault. i never wanted those creatures. its "their" fault; those who wanted the pugs and those who made them

Oh, it’s totally our fault. I will never argue against that.
