    You are literally equating black people to dogs, what the fuck is wrong with you? Of course people care more about slavery than veganism, because humans are more important than other animals why am I even explaining this

        Can you at least make an analogy without being ironically racist?

            The argument only carries over if you value dogs and humans equally, which is a fucking awful take no matter how you spin it.
            Also, no one is eating meat purely to spite vegans, at least not anyone on this website

              That is exactly their take. That's the problem.

              M4A is modern redlining because it doesn't cover my dog. I am a well-adjusted person.

                Being against slavery is very expensive. Purchasing goods from countries which pay “livable” wages is very expensive. Much better to buy clothing made in developing countries. higher profit margin for the business as well, which is the most important part.

        It's a bad analogy even if you want to be charitable and find nothing wrong with using a slavery analogy when literally anything else could be used without coming across as racist.
        No one is eating meat purely because a vegan told them it was bad. They do it because it's the cultural norm, because it's easier, because they like the taste, and a multitude of other reasons that really don't justify animal cruelty but also have nothing to do with whatever PETA posted today. I don't think anyone is arguing that eating meat is somehow morally superior, it's not, but people like OP will gladly pretend they do and alienate 99% of people for no reason.

            The complaint is that those vegans are just too damn alienating so I guess I can’t go vegan.

            Literally point to a single person who has said that unironically. We make both of those points ("vegans are annoying" and "I can't/won't go vegan"), but we have never connected them ("vegans are annoying therefore I won't go vegan"). Seriously, link me a single comment saying "I won't go vegan solely because vegans are annoying" unironically.
