Putting your head in the sand is not a good way to engage with the world.

This is what your beef comes from, for example. (from wikipidia fyi)

Ether accept that like nature itself we are often monstrous, or do something about it (and be laughed at most likely).

Pls put the image in a spoiler tag to stop the barrage of reports. πŸ™

That is my very point. It is not censored in wikipedia (and it should not be), why would it need that here?

If you want to ban me over it please do, but I don't think science (memes or otherwise) and censorship are compatible.

Nah, fam. I let people have opinions, but I have to remove it. I asked nicely. It's about common courtesy, not ideology.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Fair enough, I think my point stands well with the removal. Mind if I link to the wiki article on slaughterhouses (since there will be no image)?

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

That's fine. I don't mind that, I'll restore your comment if you agree to switch.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Sounds like a plan. I will change the image to a hyperlink.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

Thanks dude. I appreciate it.

Dawg we're vegan we fucking know, we just don't want to see this shit uncensored on our feed.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, I am not vegan. I just hate when people try and sanitize their view of the world.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Idk how u can look at that shit and not be vegan but alright

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Do you think the people working with livestock are vegan?

I worked with cows (a dairy operation) as a young worker. I like cows, but I also know that they don't really exist in the wild as we know them.

I don't think that, no, but I still can't comprehend what it must be like to live inside a brain that can be so desensitised to this cruelty.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

? Its life, its often both wonderful and cruel.

I have a hard time understanding what the inside of a mind that can not engage with reality as it is is like.

I am a big proponent of everyone at some point butchering their own food at least once.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

To describe someone who has seen the cruelty and decided they won't stand for it as "not engaging with reality as it is" is deranged lmao

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

β€œnot engaging with reality as it is” as in asking for photos to be censored.

I'm literally eating vegan nuggets right now, but thanks for being an ass.
