      *one guy.

      He's responsible for like all the posts bar one. Idk Im a Vegan and the whole thing just really fucking upsets me, as someone who will yell at people about Pugs if you get me started, like I really don't see the humour at all. I just find the whole thing super upsetting and the kind of Vegan "gotcha" point that doesn't mean shit to omnis anyway. I think I'm just messed up because it upsets me and I'm not being fair on the whole thing but like, if I wanted to see images and stories of slaughter and raw meat, I would be looking at subs about butchery and meat cooking and I don't because I'm a Vegan who hates that shit.

        Idk, I just heard of this today, but I'm vegan and I think its a pretty clever bit because it seems to be very successful at riling chuds up enough that they start contorting themselves to try and justify farming dogs to avoid criticising farming pigs, cows, etc

        I don't think it has to have any more importance or meaning in persuading people than just baiting morons into showing themselves to be morons, which is always funny

        EDIT: This sinophobic beauty from r/antivegan for example:

        I love how they think that the “are you okay with people eating dogs” point is such a checkmate. Bitch of course I’m okay with it, just humanely harvest the dogs. The reason I’m against eating dogs in Chinese markets is because of the abusive conditions they’re put through.

          Like I said, it upsets me which likely clouds my judgement when it comes to looking at it objectively. To me, sure it'll role up some anti vegan, "carnivore diet" chuds. But for the vast majority of people, they don't see them as the same and this isn't going to convince them they are. They'll just go "nah it's different" and find the in your face, gross imagery to be another reason they "don't like vegans".

          But like I said, sensitive area for me and maybe my own repulsion and nausea towards it is making it impossible for me to see any benefits/positives from it.

          Yeah but this is a communist site. The majority of people here aren't sinophobic.
