What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn’t heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

    A lot of us are murderers in that way. Or accomplices, whatever. The thing about vegans specifically is that there’s not any moral need for it. The goodness to animals would make you vegetarian. Not having cheese or eggs is not the slightest bit morally better.

      Eh kinda. The working conditions of cows and chickens is pretty horrible. I could see not wanting to be involved in that.

      But personally, I’m going to worry about improving the working conditions of humans first.

      Well now I’m wondering if you ever had an actual conversation with a vegan, because they actually have good reasons for this. A vegan diet is simply the most consequential idea if you want to minimize the necessity for animals to die, at the very least (even if we ignore the various ways of exploitation) because male chickens and calves obviously have to be killed in order for these industries to function.

        I’ve had conversations with vegans, and when one said that honey isn’t vegan because it’s produced by an insect (they said animal, but that’s incorrect), I stopped pretending that (at least some) vegans have any logic to their arguments.

          But aren’t you the one advocating that this is okay? Why do I need a trigger warning for something so deeply and obviously ethical?

            your deeply biased YouTube video is notoriously traumatizing, with the production house that made it providing aftercare tips. viewers report sleeplessness, nightmares, vomiting, lack of appetite and depression.

            you are acting irresponsibly

              I feel like I’m being trolled right now. It’s a documentary which is expressly about the extensive, systemic animal abuse that happens in the industry, and the first instance of that is over 5 minutes in. Did you not expect gore? Is this not like the most fundamentally obvious thing you could possibly expect from such a documentary?

              Edit: oh, comment history tells me that I am being trolled. Interesting. Have a nice day.

                I know all about your YouTube video, but unsuspecting people could be triggered, and it is your responsibility to warn others when you endanger them.

                  They’re just filming what you paid for. You should’ve warned the camera crew of the documentary before endangering them.
