Am I the asshole for responding to the question "hey, would you like there to be NSFW tags on my BBQ [corpses] a week from now?" with "I would like that, thanks."
Hexbear users: a week's worth of struggle sessions about how vegans are lying assholes who are only pretending to have trauma to personally target carnists and make them feel bad
But it's the vegans who are assholes
Anyway, it's far more common for parents to force kids to eat corpses even though they know it's an animal and don't want to. It's kind of a false panic to think vegans are targeting kids with slaughterhouse footage.
I'm not strictly opposed to kids seeing that stuff though before they've been indoctrinated out of their compassion, but it's not like on my to do list
We are burdened by normative bullshit to be effective. Incredible horrors are normalized and walking outside of them is considered the weird/offensive thing, oftentimes. Not saying we should pull punches or stay away from shock or hard-line advocacy, but showing violence to other people's little kids would definitely be counterproductive. It's unnecessary for teaching and will alienate others in the wrong way.
The original context is this, though: aita_for_telling_my_sisters_kids_about_veganism
I assumed when they said kids they meant little kids but it's actually teenagers and the poster did only good things. Uncritical support for their actions.
Have you ever done a cube?
I'm not sure what you mean so I choose to believe it's about tofu. Yes, absolutely, all the time. I actually have eight blocks in my fridge right now and am gonna make a vegan yu xiang tofu later. Or maybe right now it sounds really good.
Have you ever done an experience, like Earthlings experience?
Like watching gruesome animal ag videos? Yes.
No, have you ever done street activism?
Okay that's three times in a row where I don't know what you're referring to. I've done irl organizing and protests if that is what you're thinking of.
Maybe you could just say what you're thinking?
Cool.
I'm not using coded language or anything lol
I feel like the cube things is I still don't know what it means and I've been an online vegan for years and years.
she's referring to a cube of truth, run by anonymous for the voiceless.
ty!
