Vegans are acceptable targets to mock these days but i've a challenge for all the meat eaters here: Watch and tell me it doesn't affect you.

"Most of us consider ourselves animal lovers"
It's called Dominion and if you can't invest the 2 hours then just watch the first section on pigs. It's one thing to hear about the bad, mean things that humans do to poor livestock but it's quite another to witness the terror and the pain of the animals as they're suffering slow, horrific deaths.
Tell me what you feel watching it.
Does it compel you to make different choices?
Does it at least make you want to make different choices?

@SW-User How can you tell if a complete stranger is a vegan?


Talk to them for ten seconds. 😆
@LordShadowfire

How can you tell if someone's a hypocrite?😜
@SW-User

What makes vegans lame?

@Pikachu i enjoy vegan dishes but anyone who makes their diet their personality is lame
@SW-User

I think that goes for anyone who takes one part of their lives and bases their personality on that.
The vegans i know don't tend to talk about it very much unless it comes up as a matter of practicality.

Like i said, vegans appear to be an easy target for mockery these days. I don't think the mockery tends to be very thoughtful.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you...


...and eat you.
@LordShadowfire

Whatever you say, hypocrite🙂👋

@Pikachu I'd love to know how I'm a hypocrite. Be warned, I'm just in the mood to want to start shit with whomever.
@LordShadowfire

You're a hypocrite because you get all self-righteously upset when you feel a belief that you care about is being made fun of but you're only too eager to make fun of a belief that you do not share.
I call that hypocrisy.

@Pikachu I think you and I might be using different definitions of the word belief. But thank you for having the guts to flat out tell me what you think. Some folks around here would rather block.

I'll take a look at myself.
@LordShadowfire

Well i agree that this is a different kind of belief but it's still something that is important to lots of folks.
Thanks for keeping it civil in the face of criticism.

@Pikachu I've lost enough people around here that I thought were friends. I'm not going to intentionally throw something away because I think I'm right.

Again, thank you for having the courage to speak up.
@LordShadowfire

Ugh, maturity. What's up with that? lol
If more people could remember that a disagreement doesn't have to be a fight then this would be a better world.

@Pikachu Anyway, the joke I was making was more about those kinds of vegans. You know the ones. They make it their whole personality. And you just know that if they were somehow to take the opposite stance, they would still make it their entire personality.
@LordShadowfire

Yeah like i said to Queen, anyone who makes one issue, hobby or belief their entire personality is kind of challenging to like
