      Vegans are fine, PETA on the other hand is a shitty horrible organization that needs to burn in a fire.

      Vegans are like religious people: most of them are totally fine. It’s the preachy and overly defensive ones that suck.

        Would you also consider it preachy when people criticize other cases of animal harm, like bullfighting or dog beating, or is it just the financing of factory farming that can’t be criticized? If not, what’s the difference? It’s troublesome that people enforce a social stigma that you can’t talk about what we do to farm animals without suffering social consequences.

          Dude made a joke at preachy hypocrites who kill a shitload of dogs. Lighten up and save your strawmen for another time.

                  In this case I was talking about the OP tweet exchange, in which a guy replies specifically to peta

                  And in my other comments I wasn’t referring to vegans in general either, only the preachy and overdefensive ones. All the vegans I know IRL are good people who aren’t constantly preachy and defensive.

        I have never seen a vegan preach, here or on reddit. But i have seen hundreds of comments complaining about preachy vegans.

          That’s a steaming load of horse shit. You’re evidently wearing ideological blinders rivaling those of religious fundamentalists.

          Because they’re using veganism as a substitute for having a personality. Never goes well.

          If you tell anybody to stop doing something they like they’re going to tell you to fuck off.

                Carnists have such bad reading comprehension. Let’s try another one and see if you get it

                Yeah like when they told us we should give women rights! Get off your high horse and stop telling us what to do!

                It’s comparing slave owner rhetoric to non-vegan rhetoric. Just because the word vegan comes up doesn’t mean animals are being compared.

                  it’s comparing the institution of slavery with the institution of animal husbandry. it’s comparing slaves to animals. it’s fucking gross.
