I wasn't aware that I was making a profound vegan statement when I posted this. I just thought that the panel was funny.

I have no idea what is going on in this thread.

You posted a meme that is in a round about way someone feeling guilty about eating meat yet continuing to do - that is the underlying theme of this. So I made a comment about how shaming people for eating meat doesn't help. I'm not saying you were shaming anyone - on the surface level it is funny, and that's fine, I'm just saying ultimately it made me think about people who treated me like shit for eating meat before.

Hope that helps.

Whoa, that actually is kinda deep. I didn't really think about it so hard. I just saw a panel of Sonic choking the shit out of a rabbit and thought "I'm totally taking this out of context and posting it to 196 the next time I have to obey the rule". Contextually, it's not really making a statement about veganism one way or the other, which is why I was confused. Now I see that by removing said context, I have created a sort of Rorschach test. Suddenly the panel is open to interpretation, and it can mean whatever we want. If this thread views it as a statement about vegans, then who am I to argue with them?
