I was just posting a baby-step to that, because there is so much work to even acknowledge directly racist posters were racist, so I didn't even want to open that more conceptual can of worms.
And even then when some people were finally responding to my posts with stuff like "oh you and your people don't see dogs as equals, whatever, you're missing the point", despite me repeatedly saying my people view animals/humans/plants as equals and this understanding underpins why we would eat and use dog without qualms .
Then somehow I am called a reactionary, moralising idealist when that is exactly how many could label veganism and the specific sort of tone-deaf examples of it being posted yesterday.
Honestly, yes to all of this too.
