Would you also consider it preachy when people criticize other cases of animal harm, like bullfighting or dog beating, or is it just the financing of factory farming that can’t be criticized? If so, why? It’s troublesome that people enforce a social stigma that you can’t talk about what we do to farm animals without suffering social consequences.

VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 year agoVegans are like religious people: most of them are totally fine. It’s the preachy and overly defensive ones that suck.

Dude made a joke at preachy hypocrites who kill a shitload of dogs. Lighten up and save your strawmen for another time.
DarthFrodo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Who kills a shitload of dogs? I think you replied to the wrong comment.
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 year ago
Peta do. They operate a shitload of shelters, none of which are no-kill.

And unfortunately the preachy ones are the only ones ever speaking up

Because they’re using veganism as a substitute for having a personality. Never goes well.
If you tell anybody to stop doing something they like they’re going to tell you to fuck off.

Yeah like when they told us we shouldn’t use slaves anymore! Get off your high horse and stop telling us what to do!
federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 1 year ago
comparing slavex to animals is what slavers do.

Because vegans ever speaking their minds is automatically interpreted as “preachy”.

I have never seen a vegan preach, here or on reddit. But i have seen hundreds of comments complaining about complaining vegans.
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 year ago
That’s a streaming load of horse shit. You’re evidently wearing ideological blinders rivaling those of religious fundamentalists.
dx1@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, it’s the ones who talk about their thoughts that are the issue. Fucking jerks!
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 year ago
You can talk about your thoughts without being overly sensitive to criticism and ridicule. If you’d just chill the fuck out, I bet most other vegans would like you more too.

I am not accepting non-vegans’ opinions on how to be a better vegan at this time. I will keep your comments on file.
thorbot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Great! I’ll file that away under “N”: Nobody Fucking Cares.
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 year ago
I’m not offering you advice on how to be a vegan. I have no experience with being a vegan, so I wouldn’t be qualified.
I do, however, have a lot of experience with not acting like an insufferable zealot with a persecution complex.

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%)
