    How would you be a better vegan? Is there a competitive vegan league? Is there a cash prize that goes out to whoever can anthropomorphize animals the most in dogshit ads? Because if so, I think making an Islamic state beheading video but with chickens shouting “Death to KFC!” Would really sell veganism to the American audience. Or maybe we could settle for annoying shitposters on a meme community. Both have an equal chance of working (0%)

      If petah made an Islamic beheading video with chickens shouting death to kfc I would immediately reconsider my dietary choices

      Although I should reconsider my dietary choices already it’s not like I make good ones

      He replied to me acting like I was at fault for defending myself. IDK why you’re going on this tangent of all the perceived slights vegans have done against you by speaking their minds. This is really fucked up, tbph, there’s a completely unreasonable expectation that vegans are never to speak about the ethics of animal agriculture to anyone.

        See that’s interesting, when I tried to respectfully speak my mind on the vegan community in lemmy they just banned me after one comment, but exuse me for laughing at vegans whenever they leave their walled gardens and cry when nobody on the lemmy shitposting community wants to hear from the vegan community. You talk up and down about intellect and facts, but whenever I actually engage with vegans they have (90% of the time) just deleted or banned any criticism. That may or may not be you, but when you talk about vegans as a whole being this “oppressed community” unable to speak their mind, it’s just funny to me. Because at least here, you can come and be ridiculed, but you won’t be banned or censored.

          I have a pretty good sense you posted something inflammatory and obnoxious in a vegan community, and frankly that doesn’t excuse you being hostile to vegans elsewhere, even if it was something you wrote in good faith and got banned for. Pointing out “hypocrisy” on the part of a group of people with heterogenous beliefs does not make sense.

            My favorite “my group is too big, thus you can’t criticize it because there may be two whole people who aren’t obnoxious” defense. Hate to break it to you, but I can. Until literally ONE Vegan behaves differently then any I have engaged with, I can and will continue labeling the community as obnoxious. You are also not helping their case.

              You’re literally lumping people into the stereotype that they’re obnoxious and preachy based on them defending themselves against public accusations that they’re obnoxious and preachy. That’s an irrational, circular stance.

                    I’m not whining or bitching tho I am slightly disappointed that my shitpost is now being invaded by two angry vegans mainly most of the comment section is filled with you
