For a long time I sort of passively accepted that veganism is the morally correct position to hold, but it was easier to just not think about it and keep eating animals like everyone around me. But every time I saw a post from here unapologetically calling carnists murderers it sharpened the contradictions in my mind until I was forced to actually confront that cognitive dissonance and deal with it by becoming vegan.
Bullying works folks keep at it
Same here except it was r/vegancirclejerk
I remember the last time this was brought up on the site, carnists said "that's basically what fatpeoplehate did" as if contributing to animal torture was exactly the same as not living up to conventional beauty standards
It was VCJ for me as well
VCJ represent
Imagine not hating the oppressors of animals
