careful, you can get lost in these stories they are kind of a train wreck. the worst one I've read about so far was (cw: torture) the attackers who tortured a guy for an hour with a heavy drill and made his four-year-old daughter watch

    How is that not both reductionist and kind of gross to say or hear for people that don't eat meat?

    It's like the "calling women feeeeeemales" :quark: thing. You can't blame the listener for not liking the reductionist talk.

      lmaoooooo between the two of us I don't think you're the most qualified to be making that analogy

      And I'm sorry but if the mere word meat is upsetting to you then you should probably not spend any more of your time in cyberspace.

      It's not any more reductionist than any other synechdoche. You're welcome to cut that whole rhetorical device out from your vocabulary if you don't like it. I do, I will be keeping it. This doesn't seem to be a productive conversation so I'm not going to reply again.

        Sounds like you're taking the criticism personally and the "lmaoooooo" doesn't hide that. You can take it or leave it but sounds like you want to turn it into a slapfight.

        If you can't see how eye-rolling or kind of gross your high and mighty labeling of "meatspace" can be, clearly bringing it up is just making you act even more arrogant.

        Keep doing it. I can't stop you. It may make you seem arrogant and obnoxious outside of your clique but that's your problem.

          How the fuck am I concern trolling? I like the expression, you've gone on like a five-post tirade about how it's inherently offensive because it has the word "meat" in it

            Again, be arrogant and reductionist about other living people and their lived experiences anywhere you like, but sometimes it may not be well received.

              What's your fucking problem? I clearly wanted to disengage but then you came in here calling me a concern troll for pointing out that it's ridiculous for someone who isn't a woman to compare usage of the term 'meatspace' to men actively dehumanizing us by calling us 'females'

                I feel "meatspace" is dehumanizing and reductionist. You did a "lmaoooooooo" reply and mocked me for feeling that way.
