What vegans are saying you shouldn't eat figs lol this is just a shitpost, right?
i mean...
i've seen vegans on the internet say that adapting non-vegan recipes into vegan ones isn't vegan
some people are just weird
but sure, 4chan meme
I believe that any wasps that get stuck in the plant get digested by it somehow, so what you're eating eats animals, but isn't itself one.
So I guess the question is something like "Are Venus flytraps vegan" which I honestly don't know
Yes figs contain a very powerful protease enzyme, which is why unripe figs can irritate the mouth and throat.

its from a british website though so i woudlnt take it for fact 100 percent
This whole process occurs naturally with no human involvement or cruelty to animals.
idk man I know it's not the point but it sounds pretty cruel to get melted by a plant even if a human didn't do it to you
True though this is how the wasps reproduce so they kinda gotta do it or go extinct
are we gonna have to give the bee movie the bunny cop treatment cause I'm tired man
If you get seedless figs they don't need pollination and you can avoid this dilemma entirely!
Bullshit. Veganism is about minimizing suffering and the straw man image of Veganism you're railing against is just a caricature that chuds like to pretend vegans are.
:im-vegan:
Veganism is the logical conclusion of ethical vegetarianism. Vegetarian is to succdem as vegan is to socialist.
:vegan-liberation:
I think most vegans on here hate the beyond meat companies /green/vegan capitalism and stuff like that for the reasons you've outlined.
I hope you get banned soon so I can post to dunk tank
Beautiful copypasta
sir this is a discussion about figs and wasps sir
Also :im-vegan: Veganism is about minimizing the suffering of animals to the greatest extent possible within reason.
I think OP is not a native English speaker and a lot is getting lost in translation.
It seems to be a critique of liberal green/vegan capitalism, and the beyond meat companies, etc. I think most vegans on here hate that kind of stuff already, I don't think anyone on Hexbear supports :eco-porky:
I could definitely be wrong though.
I thought that was only true of wild figs, and most figs today are just sprayed with plant hormones to make them ripen without pollination?
I don't think it makes them non-vegan either way, as the life cycle requires than some amount of animal labor/death is involved in some capacity for plants to grow, and I think wasp figs don't count as 'animal agriculture'. Though its certainly arguable where to draw the line.
