At least find a good reason, rather than doing literally the thing you want them to do. Like, insulting them for leaving is just as bad as them crying that their toxic behavior scares people away. It makes no sense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] socsa@piefed.social 2 points 2 years ago I mean this kind of a perfect example of doing the thing where you blow shit up over an extremely pedantic issue which is at best tangentially related to the core ethic, specifically because you view nuance itself as a threat. As far as purity tests dissolving into self parody, I'm not sure there's a better example for veganism. And I say this as a person who otherwise sympathizes with vegans, but often finds them insufferable. Self awareness is the vaccine to self parody. permalink fedilink source parent [–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago Like a family camping trip, classic fun.

And I'm not convinced by your news article either as the study described relies on the reporting of pet-owners. Vegan cat owners forcing such a diet on their pet aren't exactly people I trust to be 100% honest about the wellness of said cat. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago That's the problem, just because they don't immediately drop dead doesn't make the diets any better for them. permalink fedilink source parent
