The main reasons I’ve seen from vegans for not eating meat seem to be all about the morality of eating a sentient animal, the practices of the modern meat industry, and the environmental impact of it. And don’t have anything to do with the taste of meat.

Since lab-grown meat doesn’t cause animal suffering, and assuming mass production is environmentally friendly, would you consider going back to eating meat if it were the lab-grown kind?

If you have less respect for vegans because you saw a vegan once took the piss out of a carnist troll on an internet forum… you do realise that’s fucking pathetic of you right?

That’s…not what I’m saying. At all. Are you…reading what I’m writing? I literally can’t make it any clearer.

You, (as in you, the person I’m talking to) are being a dick (a douchebag, a pissant, an annoying prick). And you being a dick (douchebag, pissant, et. al) makes trying to stop others (other people on the internet; people who are not you; meat eaters) from hating all vegans (other people; not yous who also happen to subscribe to and live the vegan lifestyle).

You being a dick makes vegans look like assholes. And looking like assholes makes people hate vegans even more. Stop it.

So in order to placate the meat eating masses, vegans should never talk back to the meat headed trolls?

Bruh a vegan having good comebacks to trolling isn’t going to tank the cause and my putting a troll in their place with a good quip isn’t going to make the meat eating bigots hate vegans any more or less. They’re going to hate us anyway, so why not let some vegans enjoy fucking with them back?

Or you know, just get the fuck over yourself and stop trying to control people.

No. In order to help…yknow…the earth? The animals? Why is this so much about other people for you?

Why are you vegan? For yourself? For clout? As I mentioned…like, three or four times…my whole idea is to help promote the good idea. Not you, not others. And you’re standing in the way of a good thing because you can’t get the fuck over yourself.
