If the admins weren't cowards they would have taken the same stance on rabid anti-veganism as they did with other reactionaries such as the stupidpol transphobes: make the site's stance clear and ban all those who transgress it.

I really expected better from this site's user base, as well as the mods and admins. Something like "the vegans are right, if you're not vegan you're an ass but we won't ban you, if you're anti-vegan gtfo".

So much for the intersectionality, y'all take any critique as an affront to your status as a leftist, and instead of doing better you shoot the messenger. This isn't about me, I don't care what a bunch of liberals like y'all think of me, this is about the animals y'all kill everyday. Animal exploitation is slavery, except y'all also eat the dead slaves. Animal exploitation is genocide, except y'all rape the animals so you can kill them again and again. I know that makes you uncomfortable, so do something against it instead of silencing or ignoring those like me who fight it.

What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka

    Hey :im-vegan: and I've been on this comm from the beginning and I gotta say this whole thing wasn't one sided. There was a lot of bad faith from both sides here, I initially argued against a lot of the anti-vegan sentiments that I agree are reactionary. But there were a lot of shitty takes from the vegan side as well. I think going after the admins rn isn't good look since they're genuinely just trying to keep the site together. I really think everybody needs to work on engaging in good faith and assuming good faith from other users on here, we're all on the same side.

      I saw no wrong takes by the vegans here apart from the ones we removed.

      Most vocal omnis aren't acting in good faith and should be banned. Please stop advocating for the omnis, see rule 2

        True the ones I was thinking of did get banned so I'm glad about that. And yeah maybe you're right they might not be acting in good faith I just wish more people would :sadness:

      It was 100% more apparent from the anti-vegan side, literally any post made about anything to do with veganism was ratio'd and bombarded with idiotic anti-vegan takes. There were a view shitty takes from the vegan side of course and they were rightfully derided/banned.
