I am against animal agriculture for the same reason I am against sexism, racism, ableism, classism and homophobia.

The circumstances of a creatures birth does not dictate what it is “meant for”, every one deserves to live happy, healthily and with dignity, but some simply want to live.

  • Exactly!!! Porn exists and is easily accessible to anyone that looks. I watch TV and movies for story and charcters, not softcore. It’s just tacky and uncomfortable to make it part of an otherwise serious drama. Yes humans have sex and that’s nothing to be ashamed of nor hidden, but we don’t need tits and titillation to show these two characters are intimate.


  • True Incognito mode is a myth, it only stops keeping a history in the tab of that browser. Everytime you use a browser to go to any site ever, the browser logs you went there. So does your ISP and the site your connecting to. No matter which mode or browser you use, if you go to Google, then Google knows you went there and logs your searches.

    The closest you can come to browsing the web anonymously would be with a mix of dedicated privacy OS like Tails and either a VPN or Tor as a middile man, but that assumes those proxys are not corrupted. Free VPNs make money by selling your “secret browsing” habits.

    The internet is nothing more than wires, if you connect your wire to someone elses, every intermediatary knows.

    Millenal here, but yeah there are too many wildly unnecessary sex scenes in a lot of mediaLike, if it’s an earned thing as part of a romance movie? Sure. But if there are bouncing titties I the first 30 minutes I’m just annoyed and uncomfortable. Looking at you HBO, a conversation between two charcters isn’t helped by them banging while talking.

    Plz stahp.

    But, I’m also ace too… so maybe I’m biased 😂















  • there are a number of vegans that think no one should own cats, and there are equally a number of vegans that think that cats should be fed a vegan diet with essential amino acid supplements rather than letting an obligate carnivore eat meat.

    And there are WAY WAY WAY more vegans that work at animal shelters specifically trying to put animals in to homes.

    The overwhelming majority of vegans do not do this. Like, I don’t know how to convince you of this other than saying in that of being vegan for 8+ years, going to vegan specific fairs/conventions, reading vegan literature, particating in vegan discords and moderating a vegan community that I have never once interacted with a a person who actually did this.

    IN THE VERY LINK YOU PROVIDE, vegans calling this behavior out and saying if they can’t feed a cat meat, not to own one. This accusation simply isn’t based in reality.

    It’s certainly a sentiment among vegans that gets amplified in any space where they tend to congregate.

    • Cannibalism is a sentiment shared among many meat eaters, that behavior tends to get amplified in those spaces, just look at Jeffrey Dahmer and Armin Meiwes. They are all like that.

    No. It’s a vanishingly small minority that you are pretending is a monolith because it’s an easy strawman. Honestly you sound like the deluded pro-life folk who protest outside planned parenthood because they read online that post-birth 3rd trimester abortions happen all the time. I can’t stop you from believing in nonsense, but it frankly makes you sound ridiculous.


  • This isn’t an unpopular opinion. In fact, it’s an extremely popular one. Every corner of the internet goes out of their way to say they hate vegans, This isn’t even remotely original.

    I’m not interested in changing your mind. You do as you like, and frankly it seems like you are just venting, so rock on. But if you are intersted in fact based discussions, I think you need to move past your the stereotypes, assumptions and flat out falsehoods.

    Human suffering is not preferable to animal suffering.

    No vegan thinks it is. I would kill an animal to save a human.

    They force their shit into pets like cats who can’t thrive on a vegan diet

    Snuggling my non-vegan cat right now.

    steal your pet from you so they can kill it

    Crazy people of every community exist. Without question the overwhelming majority of vegans do not support the behavior of a few that have done this. That is exactly as fair as me saying carnists practice cannibalism because of the handful of psychopaths to do so.

    And the rest of your points fall under the “no ethical consumption under capitalism” good place type arguments. However, I find it particularly egregious to say vegans don’t mind slavery. If a human slave in involved in a plant based food, then it isn’t vegan.
