Context: official c/vegan post, lemmy.world admin post 1 of 2
TL;DR: Debate over whether claiming that plant-based diets for carnivorous animals could be safe constitutes encouraging animal abuse + whether an admin's reaction to demote the entire mod team was justified

“Meatsplained” made my day though fr.

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

I read it as “meatspinned” the first time and was confused on how that was relevant to veganism.

Genuinely the stupidest word I have ever read in my entire life

[–] Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

vegan ideology is welded directly to their identity.

When you suggest that veganism may not be the eternal elixir of life and the cure to all the worlds woes, you are attacking their identity.

No one EVER rationally responds to identity attacks.
