As someone who tries to eat less meat in general because climate change and cows are basically giant grass eating slightly smellier dogs, I cannot take anyone who unironically uses "carnist" and "bloodmouth" seriously from that point on.

The more names you use to describe "person who eats meat" that you think are insulting and derogatory, the more people roll their eyes and move on with their planned meal.

Also when they add extraneous hyperbole to invalidate themselves.

No, there's nothing sweet or savory about rotting meat, but it isn't rotting, now is it?People that eat meat do not eat rotting carcasses (RFK aside) the same way vegans don't eat rotten vegetables.

Yeah I'm basically in the same boat. I call myself a half assed vegetarian - I don't typically buy meat for myself but if I go somewhere and meat's already been ordered I won't make a big fuss. I think meat is bad for the environment and cruel to the animals, and want people to care more about that, but it's an emotional issue that needs to be handled as such.

It is annoying that some people are so emotionally invested in meat that it's a hot button triggering topic, but that's how it is.

Some left wing people will call the USA like "burgerland" or "ameriKKKa" and I'm just like that's not going to win any converts. People who aren't already firmly in your camp are going to stop listening.

if you're very passionate about something it's easy to use strong words, and i think while it's annoying to me it's generally acceptable if used like this. I can't personally develop any strong feelings about vegetarianism or veganism, but I've had my passionate political moments in my life (and still do sometimes) and I guess it's kind of respect worthy, at least when I myself can see the logic of the argument or even agree to an extent.

Used to be I would get pretty frenzied when confronted with what I could fathom about capitalism, so I can empathize.

Then we use the liquid remains of their children to coat them in crumbs.

One of the saddest truths about aggresive vegans is that, no matter what they say or write, normal folk won't care. Yes, we skin 'em, we fry 'em, we eat 'em. Exactly. No matter how you dress that, that's normal. And you trying to dress it as disgusting is only making it sound more epic.

I think it's totally natural for humans to eat meat. But also definitely more moral to abstain from eating it.

If the situation were reversed, chickens would eat us without a second thought.

I've seen a rooster eat a chick before, it was horrifying.

I am perfectly fine with the knowledge that my stomach is a graveyard.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At most, my stomach is a funeral home.

If you eat meat and it remains permanently in your body, please seek medical attention.

Really ridiculous how vegans think this will put off any meat eaters from eating meat.

Actually it's having the opposite effect, it just infuriates people and makes them hungry.

I myself am hungry for a chicken now!

"Bloodmouth" is one of my trigger words. As soon as I hear it I know the speaker is a complete fucking moron and stop listening. From that point on all I hear is mwah mwah mwah like Charlie Brown's teacher. Feckless background noise.

Although I have to say "bloodmouth's graveyard stomach" hits SUPER hard
