Thanks for posting that! I was gonna say most of the vegans and vegetarians I know say similar to what you said. They have a few different reasons for why they're vegan or vegetarian, but they all tend to agree that it's generally better to just... Eat less meat. Not even not eat meat, but just eat less of it. That's pretty easy to do, honestly, so it's easy to give a shot.

Heck, (and I'm not sure if I agree with this), I once heard someone say they were a vegetarian that occasionally eats meat. It's a neat way to think of it, though, and if they eat less meat because of it, then why not? Reframe it, who am I to stop them?

Regardless, I've been trying to eat less meat, mostly because the messaging works. So, keep it up!

I can't go full plant based (medical bullshit) but the times when meat was a seasoning rather than the main ingredient taught me to cook good flavors. I still don't know how to give up butter tho

Don't take this personal, but I just have to:

Thanks for posting that! I was gonna say most of the consensuals I know say similar to what you said. They have a few different reasons for why they're consensual, but they all tend to agree that it's generally better to just... rape less. Not even not to rape, but just do less of it. That's pretty easy to do, honestly, so it's easy to give a shot.

You need to let go of the hate, it makes your life miserable. There is nothing for you at the bottom of this, just paranoia and destruction. Go meet some real people in reality, it helps.

I truly am not a hateful person. And i appreciate you eating less meat, it's important and the right thing to do. I get a little impatient with all the babysteps, the apologies and the Bullshit Bingo (long-tap for a reply) sometimes. Because if you boil it down, you are causing a creature to suffer greatly for your pleasure while living in a world where that is not necessary anymore.

I leave you with the Vegan Society's definition from 1944. Please don't reframe this:

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Ah, apologies, you are a real person. I also see you are not very perceptive or you would notice I copied one of your own messages back at you. And your reply infers that it wasn't truly meant as a joke, either.

Okay, then here's a question: What kind of context clues did you get that I really wanted you to make vegans look like jackasses? Also, second question: Have you ever convinced someone to be vegan by being a huge asshole?

Because it's not like I don't agree with vegans. But what you did was comment on a chain that includes someone saying that vegans make an enemy out of everyone that doesn't fully conform to them, and you seem to have tried to prove them right. Why??? You have to understand that I assumed you were a troll. Because that kind of attitude is so shitty that it defies reason.
