    the best part is when they are all "oh I'm vegan, I agree with you. But also stop condemning people for being rapists, people won't go vegan that way" like :confusion: how do you say this is rape yet attack those who condemn it

      Yes, basically it's "ethical" carnists, vegetarians, flexitarians, apologists, pick-me vegans. It's soft denialism of the animal holocaust.

        I like this term. Tells it like it is - glorified carnism

    i mean the carnist pov is that since they are animals it isn't rape and murder. Obviously it's awful but the second slide in reality would be "No it's fine, Humans have dominion over animals and animals are raped and murdered in nature"

      Yeah, I know. It's human supremacy and appeal to nature. It's no better than saying it's impossible to rape your wife because she's not a person, she's your property.

      The arbitrary dividing line between humanity / animality is inherently colonialist and only serves to support and perpetuate disablism and white supremacy.
