You are literally empowering the people spreading the shock collar hoax. Keep putting veganism in such a spotlight if your goal is to scare people away from it, I honestly don't care. Veganism is something people will address properly once we solve the biggest and most important issues first, deal with it.
Lol, what? Every vegan in this thread is saying it's bullshit an calling out people who promote it. In what way are we "literally empowering" the hoax by pointing out that the people promoting it don't care about animals unless they can use it to attack Hasan?
I think you misread what was going on completely and then jumped on the opportunity to start bashing vegans and lording over your supposed moral superiority that you earned from checks notes not lording your moral superiority over people. I'd call it an honest mistake if you weren't such an asshole about it.
