"rude dirtbag aesthetic is cool and good unless you're doing it because you care about animals, then you're a rude PETA vegan and I don't like you :( "
Literally everything we’ve made fun of for years was in full display. The reaction was disappointing but it’s also quite funny.
MLs calling for revolution want incremental change. Anarchists want to wait for lab grown meat. People who joke about praxis calling personal responsibility lib. White people calling vegan poc racist because they think the rest of the world eats the same shitty food they do. Oh you’re rude to me so I won’t be vegan now, it’s your fault I’m going to eat a steak. Etc.
I don’t like the idea of this already small community splintering but if they’re going to be so hostile then I’d rather have a based instance to go to than not have one at all.
seems like it! i think the lack of self-awareness also gets me- they don't seem to realize that their responses to being told that animal ag/exploitation is an atrocity not that different from what you're likely to end up with if you tell a random person on the street that capitalism is an atrocity. (i.e. no it's not, why are you being so rude, communists are weird and pushy)

To be fair the rude dirtbag aesthetic has gradually withered on this site.
yeah, that's true. just weird to see the site pivot so quickly from "tone policing is bad" to "vegans are mean" i guess

Saved this. Thank you for sharing!
Lol I get people calling my post dumb when I was respectful. The ableist slur is so predictable.

Thank you! That means the world. Genuinely was beginning to think I might have engaged in bad faith behaviours.
