we absolutely respect veganism and what it stands for but

VCJ RULES ! And also the rules:

  1. no unjerking

  2. no carnists/speciesists/non-vegans

  3. no seriousness/debating (no unjerking)

  4. moderator discretion is part of it; if you fail to reply in a short time to a moderator, you will be treated as a carnist troll.

  5. avoid gruesome content (normal for the animal pharming industry) or add content warnings

  6. no AI slop

  7. screenshots from nazi platforms need to be extra defaced

Ultimately, veganism relies on personal decisions of morality. It's not fully prescriptive and leaves room for differing opinions. The question here is whether or not the relationship is exploitative.

This leaves some room for nuance. There's a difference between purchasing a pet from a breeder, which adds further demand, and adopting an animal that would otherwise be euthanized, for example.
