the carnist intellectuals have come out in force I see
It's crazy how mad people get every time a Vegan exists
It really challenges a certain type of persons ego. I don't really get it.
weirdly defensive too, your conscience nagging again bud 🤔
The problem are not the vegans. The problem is that those people have to tell everyone that the are vegans and try to "sell" to others. Just be a vegan and don't bother other people with it.
I never see these people IRL.
But they must be deeply traumatizing, because I see people who complain about them everywhere.
Then you are lucky.
Vocal minority explains it.
bot account 🤨
first interaction by account 🤨
Don't have to really, our existence is already deeply upsetting lol. But even if, how are you going to change society if you keep it to yourself
For every one person who tells me they're vegan about 10 brag they're not
People are proud of who they are, I guess.
Well. She did shut the fuck up about it.
Kindest carnist
Only kind of. I am all for veganism if I could afford it. Plus I am more impressed with thr sherpas making this their nob in spite of the obnoxious tourists.
The sherpas don't have that much choice what with needing money to survive and the nepalese economy being what it is.
I think her dying trying is an important part of the point here.
I don't agree with it. I'm sure there's a more nuanced cause of death, but that's between step 2 and 3.
Right I went with the most charitable reading.
is of course the interpretation that seems the most obvious
Vegans call themselves vegans and they get to call others "carnists"? I've been hearing them calling others "meateaters" too. It's so reducing of the people who don't agree with their ideas.
Huh? What would you call someone who cares about animal exploitation, and what should we call those that don't?
I don't go over my day calling people names. It's not hard for me to call them as they want them to be called, and if I don't know that, they are just people like me.
Carnist is a description of someone who has a meat-inclusive diet, other descriptions of people by what they can or cannot eat are e.g. vegan, lactose intolerant, celiac... It's not a "name" you call someone, it's a description of someone using a certain aspect of them relevant to the discussion.
A "name", as in, something used to insult would be e.g. corpsemuncher, bloodmouth, cheesebreth &c.
It's used as a pejorative. It's disingenuous to pretend otherwise.
I mean in the same way as "terf" I guess
So, some nonvegan people?
Edit: Also, that wasn't the point. Vegans call themselves vegans, nobody is asking them to call others by any name, proper or improper, in vegans' point of view.
The point behind not using "nonvegan" is that it frames carnists as "the normal"s and the "vegans" as the one who have "something special" going on. This is true with celiac and nonceliac, lactose intolerant and not lactose intolerant. But we argue that veganism, i.e. not killing if unnecessary, is the normal thing to do. That the only reason it doesn't seem that way is because it got normalized through repetition and how widespread it is.
Nobody is asking to stop the torture of dairy cows &c. other than vegans either so I don't understand why you think the point in your edit matters.The point in demonstrating for societal change is precisely doing stuff others aren't asking for.
I guess a vegan would see the point in that. Vegans are normal in my book, as in they are people. If they didn't call themselves vegans, I wouldn't call them any particular way as a noun. If I needed to describe them, I'd say, "they are people who only eat vegetables".
I get it, though, it's a discourse battle derived from their moral views and expected ethics. It's just they don't come across as very approachable.
I should note, although it's not directly relevant to your point, that "people who eat vegetables (instead of meat)" are also called vegetarian. The precise degree to which oppression of animals is tolerable was a contencious debate among vegetarians, which led to the creation of "The Vegan Society" to rally those that argued for "no oppression at all". So even though dairy and egg farming require animal murder (to deal with the newborns considered a "byproduct") vegetarians don't object to those.
Vegans however take the idea that animals are thinking, feeling creatures to its logical conclusion and will argue for no animal products anywhere. No leather, no beeswax, no brushes with animal hair, no trips to the zoo, no pets and so on. It's very much not just the diet, although that is of course a huge part of it.
I know what a vegan is. It's just I'm not a vegan myself to be going in-deep about their system of beliefs.
Unironically the most respectful carnist I've met
another user said it's like how christians call non-believers sinners. that makes sense to me.
The actual term is secular. The ones using sinner are the vegans of the Christian world.
So you're saying the ones who call nonchristians "sinners" are correct?
Most people are apathetic, and a chunk of those are due to ignorance. Calling them carnists likely isn't helping the cause at all.
This is a shotpost community. I'm not entirely sure I understand your surprise.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, you don't want me to take this "so serious" everyone here is just pretending to be a carnist? I'm not surprised at all, why would I be, it's like this every time a vegan is mentioned.
I'm not sure either. If it's everyone, maybe the vegan is the issue. 🤷
Huh? What vegan is causing everyone here to act like a stereotype? The one who climbed everest, or one of the vegans who started commenting after all these carnists had made all the canon jokes already
To be fair, you did start with namecalling. Whether or not the name was malicious the intent clearly is. Perhaps interact with less hate in your heart?
Huh? You sure you got the time line right? Because I'm commenting about the "carnist intellectuals ITT" after they already went off with the standardized DIN-ISO-VegAn-Jokes A1-A4
