    Number one reason I don’t want to be called a vegan. Especially online ones are particularly cringe and rude. It’s ridiculous. They’re like the American Protestants of diets

      It’s not a diet anymore than being against domestic violence is a fashion choice.

      A diet based on plants follows from the ethical conclusion that other living beings are not things we can extract resources from and destroy for our pleasure and convenience.

        You all gotta get better pr, seriously. Not eating veganism is not comparable to domestic violence. What the heck.

          You know it was in my living memory that killing a man for hitting on another man was reasonable self defense.

          Just because something is normalised doesn’t mean it’s not a hideous evil.

            Comparing eating meat as normalized to killing someone for hitting on someone as normalized is literally insane. You just keep making worse comparisons.
