This is the most reddit thing I’ve read this year.

“Sir” lmfao.

Apparently you’ve been exposed to some restaurant that didn’t make you vegan so we should all do that which will continue not making people vegan.

That’ll save the billions and billions of innocent earthlings! Good job, you selfish, lazy, arrogant cretin. I’m so glad the world is full of people who will change when it requires no effort!

Yes earthings, we are all the earthlings. We come from earth, we share a common heritage.

Cite me if I did you shiver looking for a spine to run up.

Yeah, the carnists really crawl out of the woodwork broadcasting their disregard of rules, norms, and context in order to try feel superior to people enjoying a short break from them.

Every meal that a non-vegan eats there is one less meal made with animal products

Missed that part, did we?

That will surely save them all!

you don’t get it do you? You aren’t even vegan and you think you know how to do it all. You are so selfish and self absorbed, their lives aren’t real to you.

I think I know marketing better than you, yes. Because that’s the industry that I work in. Marketing is all about persuasion, and bluntly, vegans like you do a really shitty job at marketing the idea of being vegan, and a shitty job of persuading people to be vegan. Shame and guilt don’t sell a product or an idea; they cause resentment.

You’re acting like the Westboro Baptist Church; you’re telling everyone that isn’t already in your group how awful they are, and using the most offensive terms you can come up with to do so. Just like the WBC, you’re absolutely convinced that your way is the only morally correct way. But you aren’t actually bringing people to your moral cause; you’re pushing them away. If you want to push people away so that you can feel self-righteous, then sure, keep doing what you’re doing.

…But if you want to persuade people, if you actually want people to change, then maybe look into what actually works.

what’s your problem?

Every year around a trillion sentient beings live and die in horror. This happens in the vast majority of cases because people want to feel slightly more pleasure than they think they would feel if they ate beans.

Each one of these lives is a unique and beautiful thing, no more or less special than you or I. A brilliant, shining negation of the vast empty silence of the universe.

But chucklefuck here is more concerned about convenience than morality.

That’s my problem.

hey you just spoke your truth and people are downvoting you and i just want to say that’s fucked up. i asked a question and you clearly put thought and effort into your response. i mean you called the guy a chucklefuck, but tbh that’s a silly enough insult as to be taken entirely in jest, no prob.

idk it just feels like you’re being needlessly dunked on, this is the stupidest aspect of internet discourse.
