The main reasons I’ve seen from vegans for not eating meat seem to be all about the morality of eating a sentient animal, the practices of the modern meat industry, and the environmental impact of it. And don’t have anything to do with the taste of meat.

Since lab-grown meat doesn’t cause animal suffering, and assuming mass production is environmentally friendly, would you consider going back to eating meat if it were the lab-grown kind?

    So in order to placate the meat eating masses, vegans should never talk back to the meat headed trolls?

    Bruh a vegan having good comebacks to trolling isn’t going to tank the cause and my putting a troll in their place with a good quip isn’t going to make the meat eating bigots hate vegans any more or less. They’re going to hate us anyway, so why not let some vegans enjoy fucking with them back?

    Or you know, just get the fuck over yourself and stop trying to control people.

      No. In order to help…yknow…the earth? The animals? Why is this so much about other people for you?

      Why are you vegan? For yourself? For clout? As I mentioned…like, three or four times…my whole idea is to help promote the good idea. Not you, not others. And you’re standing in the way of a good thing because you can’t get the fuck over yourself.

        So you promote this good thing by shitting on other vegans and acting as if you make the rules? Lmao, you’re really making us look so great infront of the meatheads.

        I’m not sure you’ve thought this through tbh.

          No.

          No. Like, what is your damage?

          For real. How are you not understanding what I’m saying?

          I’m saying you’re not doing veganism any favors by being a dick. Holy shit, I literally have run out of ways to put what I’m saying. I’d like to see the idea stop getting shit on by people online. And people like you, being a dick, make that unlikely. Veganism is already facing an uphill battle in the likeability/image department, thanks to organizations like PETA and their annoying, obnoxious antics. You, being a dick about veganism makes that hill even steeper. Are you…grasping this yet?

            Do you think the non-vegans in this thread respect you and like veganism more now after your behaviour here?

            Or do you think that they also think you’re a massive gaping asshole of a vegan?

            Who would consider joining this movement after seeing you trying to be the vegan morality police over a joke you didn’t like made by a fellow vegan?

            The standard for veganism that you’re trying to insist on setting here is socially controlling, demanding, manipulative and just plain unlikable.

            You’re really not helping the vegan cause with this behaviour.

              Ironic. “Don’t be a dick” is an unlikeable position.

              That makes sense.

                  lol. I ended up getting frustrated with you because it took me explaining a really simple thing like five different ways before you understood what I was saying. I feel like that wouldn’t hint at you being a really great judge of much, especially communicating about something you claim to care about with people on the internet. So…

                    Even an ounce of self reflection would go a long way my dude. Here’s hoping one day you’ll be able to get over that ego of yours and give it a go.
