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.
