    Hey everyone! This meme is based, but more importantly if you're still hung up on drama from months ago your comment will be removed for dramabaiting and being reactionary. "Vegan = bad" is some reddit their chud shit.

      Obviously this site is pro vegan, but this doesn't strike you as even a little bit antagonistic and counterproductive?

        No. If you're vegan, awesome, if you're not vegan, go vegan and watch Dominion, but anti veganism is reactionary. Not to mention reigniting an argument from months ago just because someone dares question your morality is petty and counterproductive

        Anti-vegan because we should be... against individual morality?

        Understanding the difference between the impact of one's actions and the ethics of one's choices is kinda important for anyone, Leftists included.

          the meme plays out like alot of these memes where one side is being "irrational" and the other is making points.
          The Vegan is portrayed as just yelling at the "carnist" to go vegan, and then the he makes a criticism and the vegan replies with "muh pupperinos".
          idk how this meme isn't suppose to be taking a jab at vegans.

            That meme is routinely read both ways, with the Too-Intense Guy and the Too-Casual Guy interchangeably sympathetic.

            In the original bit, Casual Guy is a chronic fuckup and Intense Guy is at his wit's end. You're supposed to sympathize with him, not the fuck-up.

            It's picking apart the apathetic anti-vegan lines point by point.

      Imagine saying this to people advocating for any other marginalized group.

      "If feminists wanna start struggle sessions and 100 comment threads about how socialism means feminism or whatever outside their community under the guise of memeing at least get better memes." Not that we don't have anti-feminists on Hexbear, but at least they didn't succeed in limiting all posts about womenby's liberation to one comm.

    This thread has made me realize that you can edit a removed comment after the fact and it will change how it appears in the modlog

          It was Asian comrades who made the dog eating memes, and indigenous vegans and vegans of color who were banned. Stop rewriting history.

              Fuck you, I lost literal years of my life to being gaslit. How fucking dare you

              Dogdiet as a meme was literally made by an Asian vegan to make fun of how speciest and racist carnists are. The VCJ mods were predominantly people of color and they were banned along with users who are indigenous vegans and vegans of color.

              Your screenshots of the VCJ discord are fucking out of context bullshit.

                  Holy fuck. I'm actually Jewish. How dare you call the quotes from holocaust survivors fake? Literally go look them up. Every quote like that has been cited. Why would you call them fake, what the fuck? You're spitting in their face by erasing their voices like that.

              There’s literally pictures of their discord convos about their desire to stick around solely to ruin the site

              Does sarcasm not exist in your world? Also stop trying to bring up old drama, we're not banned from talking about being vegan

      I don’t think it’s particularly shit-stirry, not calling people names, advocating for moral good, not bad faith :shrug-outta-hecks:
