  • I am the vegan extremist who banned Rooki and am the catalyst of this. The amount of shit you get for volunteering for a job no-one wants to do fucking sucks. I really appreciate the gratitude that’s expressed from bloodmouths especially /s

    Lemmy seems to harbor more resentment towards vegans than Reddit does, which is truly an incredible feat. Reactionaries, carnist apologists, debatemebros, are in no short order here, and have been circlejerking about this for two weeks now. An outstanding advertisement for places like vegantheoryclub.org, completely free from carnist vitriol.

    I’m sorry to the vegans that have been affected by this. I tried to make this place a vegan place, but it is apparent that the powers that be are in opposition to this. Thanks for putting your trust in me, and thanks for the other moderators here <3

    Be kind to all Earthlings.










  • Sorry for not replying sooner, was preoccupied. It’s an Earthling Ed video about the new ‘hybrid’ (plant based + meat based) products entering the market, in particular Quorn and Smug Dairy (never heard of them, but I hate their name it’s on point), and how they are being advertised as better for the environment and health than 100% meat based products. He breaks down his thoughts on it and gives a few reasons why these companies might be doing this.

    I genuinely didn’t know of this and that this was a thing so it was educational for me. Also kinda shocking (but I guess not really for a vegetarian product line) that Quorn is selling meat.





  • That’s what makes it a privilege.

    Completely wrong. You can still be vegan even if you aren’t able to live without being forced to use animal products. The literal definition of veganism includes “as far as is possible and practicable” for reason. Please make sure you read the sidebar as that distinction is very important. It allows all the things that you’ve outlined in your comment as acceptable under the definition of veganism.
