  Nobody defends factory farms they’re universally hated

  But not enough for people to boycott, other than a single-digit % of the population.

  Can you explain how that is a slur? Who is being unfairly oppressed/please describe the victim of the slur?

    If you are describing omnivores as “carnies” then that would be a slur since most people consider people on the carnivore diet to be unhinged or misinformed.

    Slurs exist to denigrate and diminish ones character.

    Without argument, more vegetarians will help the world, but I don’t think name calling wins hearts and minds.

      you seem misinformed, ‘carnist’ and by extension ‘carnie’ has nothing to do with the carnivore diet, but with carnism:

      Carnism is a concept used in discussions of humanity’s relation to other animals, defined as a prevailing ideology in which people support the use and consumption of animal products, especially meat.[1] Carnism is presented as a dominant belief system supported by a variety of defense mechanisms and mostly unchallenged assumptions.[1][2][3][4]

        The term carnism was coined by social psychologist and author Melanie Joy in 2001

        I have been hearing this term used to demean meat eaters since the late 80s. I guess they were all misinformed too.

  Have you heard of the carnivore movement? There are genuinely people saying to stop eating vegetables. It’s probably mostly ragebait, but it exists.

    It feels like user wasn’t talking about specifically people on the carnivore diet. It came off as a slur against people on the most common diet on earth.
