c/vegetarian

I know we differ somewhat in philosophy, but by and large, I think we’re pretty much on the same team. Personally, almost all my cooking is vegan anyway, and I love reading your recipes.

Feel free to take this down if you don’t though, no hard feelings.

    I don’t mean to be any more harsh than they are. There is a reason the average person has a negative connotation towards the term vegan and that person shows it.

    I will try to access your community when it federates (?).

      Is it harsh to tell a man who beats his wife that his wife gets hurt when he beats her and he ought to stop? Is it mean? Tell me the gymnastics you have to go through to think it’s mean to tell somehow who is knowingly harming others that it’s not okay and unacceptable

      Edit: The reason speciesists hate vegans is the same reason that misogynists hate feminists. It makes sense that oppressors hate those who speak up on behalf of those they oppress, but it’s not right, and it’s weird that you think it is

        Well, you’ve done it. So much for my fresh start idea.

        I agree with literally everything you’ve said but the way you’re saying it is insufferable. I understand you feel passionately about the cause, we all do. But lashing out and lecturing people who are trying to talk to us in good faith will not get them in our side.

        I implore you to think about if what you’re about to post is constructive or argumentative before you post it.
