The main reasons I’ve seen from vegans for not eating meat seem to be all about the morality of eating a sentient animal, the practices of the modern meat industry, and the environmental impact of it. And don’t have anything to do with the taste of meat.
Since lab-grown meat doesn’t cause animal suffering, and assuming mass production is environmentally friendly, would you consider going back to eating meat if it were the lab-grown kind?
No.
No. Like, what is your damage?
For real. How are you not understanding what I’m saying?
I’m saying you’re not doing veganism any favors by being a dick. Holy shit, I literally have run out of ways to put what I’m saying. I’d like to see the idea stop getting shit on by people online. And people like you, being a dick, make that unlikely. Veganism is already facing an uphill battle in the likeability/image department, thanks to organizations like PETA and their annoying, obnoxious antics. You, being a dick about veganism makes that hill even steeper. Are you…grasping this yet?
You are making a fine argument against acting like an asshole. But the thing is, they are not acting.
Do you think the non-vegans in this thread respect you and like veganism more now after your behaviour here?
Or do you think that they also think you’re a massive gaping asshole of a vegan?
Who would consider joining this movement after seeing you trying to be the vegan morality police over a joke you didn’t like made by a fellow vegan?
The standard for veganism that you’re trying to insist on setting here is socially controlling, demanding, manipulative and just plain unlikable.
You’re really not helping the vegan cause with this behaviour.
Ironic. “Don’t be a dick” is an unlikeable position.
That makes sense.
Nah fam, what’s ironic is that you’re the one being the dick here.
lol. I ended up getting frustrated with you because it took me explaining a really simple thing like five different ways before you understood what I was saying. I feel like that wouldn’t hint at you being a really great judge of much, especially communicating about something you claim to care about with people on the internet. So…
Even an ounce of self reflection would go a long way my dude. Here’s hoping one day you’ll be able to get over that ego of yours and give it a go.
Oh my god the irony of this comment is almost too much.
I started out this entire goddamn odyssey of a conversation doing nothing more than suggesting you change your tact. Telling you i support what you’re doing but think you’re going about it all wrong.
You got snarky—even though you entirely misunderstood what I said. And continued misunderstanding what I was saying. Calling you out on doing your cause no favors and me getting annoyed that I couldn’t get my point across has nothing to do with….anything that you’re now trying to make me think this conversation has ever been about lol
I’m starting to feel ableist for laughing at you. This is no longer fun for me so I’m blocking you now.
Hopefully you can become a better person on your own. Good luck wanker.
lol the “no u r” defense. A+
