Ah yeah, I've had an interaction with that anti-vegan user before, and let me tell ya, if you want to speedrun vegan bingo... ideal discussion partner right there.

politely raises hand

While I think factory farming is abhorrent, I find the most compelling reasons to eat plant-based to be the environmental ones. Therefore, I think "I only eat a little bit of meat" is actually a huge positive step someone can take. If your primary concern regarding meat is the cruelty of taking the life of another animal, that's completely valid, but compared to the others, that square just feels out of place.

The "Vegans are loud and annoying" crowd are more loud and annoying than actual vegans in my personal experience.

Often when society had an extreme default position on a topic, its defenders sound batshit insane.

See:

  • Gay and trans rights
  • Reproductive rights
  • Veganism
  • Unregulated capitalism
  • Homelessness
[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 5 days ago

So true. I'm not vegan, but someone proudly yelling about how much meat they eat is so fucking cringe. Very "suck it, libs" mindset.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

But you probably won't get called a murderer 20 seconds into the discussion though.

[–] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

You'd be surprised. Both "The farming of your plants kills more animals than livestock raising" and "veganism is genocide because they'll stop breeding the animals if we stop eating them" unironocally come up almost instantly when I talk about it and I'm not even quite vegan, I just avoid animal products because of allergies to a lot of them...

It took me a whole 24 hours to realise that the person having a weird, inconsistent, fact-swerving argument with me (about my assertion that most male cattle are killed young for meat) was the original one from the screenshot!

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

My last time talking to them, they were arguing that the use of the word "exploitation" in the vegan society's definition of veganism simply meant "use" because that's a thesaurus entry for exploitation. When their argument breaks down they go full on "words are just invented".

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I found the comment chain. Nuts. They always pick and the weirdest stuff to argue over.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

When their argument breaks down they go full on β€œwords are just invented”.

that never happened

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 days ago

TIL there's a bingo TLD.

Almonds are bad for bees? Huh

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (9 children)

The happy animals one is hilarious. I would have no problem with someone eating me after I died and I sure as shit am not happy

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Ah yes. That one is the one where every interlocutor happens to only eat meat "from their uncles farm with 3 cows on 40 acres of pasture, where they're hand-scrubbed by cherubs while eating figs."
