An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

Rules and miscellaneous:

  1. We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
  2. No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
  3. Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
  4. Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
  5. All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I saw Dominion exactly once, and I can't put anything in front of me that contains animal murder. Everyone else is cowards.

Everyone else is cowards.

Or worse: they just don't care. There are people like that. Zero empathy.

Locking this thread as it lost any usefulness and it's getting popular among edgelord kids

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of adult meat eaters have seen multiple videos and still continue to eat meat. Very few have actionable ability to directly stop the suffering so they then stop caring. One person cutting down on red meat will never be enough until there's enough lab grown meat and/or delicious FakeMeat alternatives to satiate western society at large. We still a long ways away from that.

Until then, vote for people who want to cut down on brutal industrial practices.

If this sign were true I’d be a vegan 10 times over.

I’ve watched all vegan propaganda I’ve ever had sent to me:

Dominion. Earthling. Land of hope and Glory. The greatest speech ever (Gary Yourofsky) Cowspiracy Seaspiracy Don’t watch

Send me more I’ll view it.

This type of propaganda, in my experience, works on impulsive highly emotional people who willingly anthropomorphise animals.

A major diet change like becoming vegan shouldn’t happen because you saw one video. That’s a health disaster waiting to happen.
