The idea is that c/food should be vegan and all the pot roasts (corpses), smoked meats (also corpses), and homemade pizzas (again, covered in corpses) could go in a newly-made comm, something like c/carnism or something. I dunno, we could even let the carnists pick their comm name, I don't care.

But basically, if Hexbear is going to be a vegan site, then pictures of corpses should not be in a comm called c/food, because corpses aren't food.

    personally I just think posts reveling in the suffering of innocent victims of murder should simply be banned sitewide, but apparently im annoying which is a greater crime :shrug-outta-hecks:

      I mean, sure, I agree. But given that we're not getting that (just look at the ratio of upvotes comments by vegans get vs comments by carnists), could this be a reasonable compromise? It seems less shitty of a compromise to me than allowing corpses in the "food" comm, as long as they're labeled. Quarantine the carnists in their own little comm, rather than quarantining us in ours, you know?

        A good rule of thumb is to not suggest a compromise to your own advocacy. Let the people with whom you're negotiating do that. I understand and appreciate the sentiment of trying to build bridges, but the omnis are going through a period of cognitive dissonance and with cartoonish reactionary sentiments that we've all seen in other struggle sessions (leftists that have told others to self-crit proving that they can't do that themselves). They are very much in a mood to stick vegans in their corner - hell I think most missed the message in the first place since it was only stickied for like a day.
