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.

    Alright, I'll hang back and see how things go.

    For whatever reason, the compromise surrounding pictures of corpses in c/food has never sat right with me and I just really would like the status quo to change. But that's ok, I can also unsubscribe from c/food, I just haven't done so yet.

      I completely understand what you're saying. I think the best step would have been to ban all pictures of corpses and animal products, but unfortunately I'm not on the staff (just a comm mod). I hope in the future this is the direction the site goes

      Despite what carnists say, we actually have compromised here. They act like asking for a CW is asking for the whole world. They are very fragile, so challenging their privilege even slightly feels like oppression to them, even though they're the ones oppressing nonhumans everyday. Making them think about the violence they do and how it might be triggering for other humans around them makes them feel bad, and that's unacceptable. If vegans feel bad about seeing corpses, they're big babies who should get over it. If carnists feel bad about having to add a CW, it's because they're victims of the mean vegan agenda!
