I haven't listened to the TrueAnon episode in question but between this, the TrueAnon twitter profile having ace/aro in its profile as an apparent joke, and the "be normal" mantra, the pod gives me definite social conservative vibes.

tbh it applies to the podcast too, but I thought you were speaking to the image linked in the post

I can't recall any quotations, but brace and liz have had a few lines I think most would receive as a minor jape that also reveal a kind of reactive antiveganism that I hope one day they look back on and cringe

edit: reactionary->reactive (as in originating from reactive aggression towards the topic at hand)

They have a pretty dismissive attitude to a lot of things they seem to associate with 'woke' liberals. Veganism, masking, ableism, etc. Kinda annoying that they behave like the caricature of "tankies" that a lot of radlibs seem to have.

Being a tankie doesnt mean you have only good takes though. Tankies are a spectrum that can range from radically progressive to frankly somewhat socially conservative (now most tankies I know are NOT social conservatives) but they absolutely do exist and I dont mean the patsoc types either. This is not meant as a dunk on tankies as a thing. But more as what I have found to be the state of tankies over multiple platforms.

Mind you tankie as a categorization is silly to begin with. But I think you get what im trying to say.

Yeah, as a big trueanon enjoyer and also im-vegan I always get annoyed whenever they make fun of veganism
