thegirlwiththeducktattoo replied to your post: What the fuck does it mean to be a “nice vegan”? …
I’d just like to point out that you don’t really get anybody on your side by calling them “murderers” and “rapists.” If anything, that turns people off of your message. I think that’s the difference between a “nice” and a “mean” vegan.Um.
Wat.
Do you have any concept of what goes on in factory farms?
I thought it was old news at this point.
On the fence on this one. I don’t know what irks me more — Ignorant carnivores who refuse to know where their food came from and how it got to their plate or the angry vegans who spend their entire living hours shoving pamphlets and judging people who don’t follow the same diet as they do.
There just needs to be an equal balance of awareness between the two and it should be to the person’s discretion wether they want to eat meat or not. I’ve butchered my own meat as a meat eater, but I went into a vegan diet for purposes of health, environment, and animal welfare. This whole vegan/meat eater thing goes along with the whole gay marriage, abortion and religion issues. What other people choose to do shouldn’t really affect you. The fact that it does only means you’re going over board and you should maybe calm the fuck down.
It all boils down to this: meat eaters should stop ignoring where your food comes from. I don’t understand how y’all freak out over high fructose corn syrup while you’re lapping up on rotted meat. How is it that cats and dogs are above swine, cattle, and poultry? Your pets shouldn’t be abused or neglected, but it’s alright for livestock? Y’all need to stop with assigning gender to food, too. Americans hate anything feminine, so call vegetables wimpy all you want, your heart won’t be as strong 30 years later. Also, vegans: YOUR DIET DOES NOT DEFINE YOU. Sure, it’s a meticulous lifestyle to maintain, but stop fishing for standing ovations just because you’re skipping out on easy meals and opted for a “healthier option”. You weren’t vegan your entire life, so save it. Best believe I’m judging your ass if I you’re listed as vegan in any of your online profiles. If you’re going to preach, do so passive aggressively. There’s a lot of “environmentalist” meat eaters you can hawk in on instead of yapping at every carnivore you encounter.
