How do you know an animal abuser is in the room? Don’t worry, they either won’t shut up about bacon, or they’ll make the same bland anti-vegan jokes that were old 20+ years ago.

Q: How do you know someone is vegan?
A: Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

These kinds of jokes are only funny if there is a kernel of truth to them. But no one talks about bacon unpromted.
MilitantVegan@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That’s definitely untrue. Carnists never shut up about bacon.

And are these carnists in the room with us right now?

I consume the web in 4 languages. Even BEFORE going vegan I saw unprompted meat comments on literally any video/recepie, in those 4 languages, that didn’t have meat on it from vegan/healthy creators. For years. I can bet you 69k tons of my own spit you will find similar comments yourself if you look out for them rn.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure these people are trolls.
But have you every actually seen anyone in real life just randomly talk to you about bacon or meat as a dietary choice out of the blue? I haven’t.
I think the key difference is that there is hardly anyone that sees eating meat as definining trait of their personality or some moral position. It’s just food and not something you center your live around. That’s very different for a good portion of vegans.

Kevin’s Wife does. His agent too.
Speaking of, did you know that my Bacon Number is 3?
I was in a movie with Henning Mikkelsen > the Dad of Mads Mikkelsen > in King Arthur with Ray Stevenson > in Jayne Mansfield’s Car with Levon Bacon.

You’re fighting the good fight, don’t worry about the pushback. If you have a choice, regular meat-eating in Western society is one of the most selfish, deluded things a person can do and future generations (if we even make it that far) will look back on those people, myself included, the same way we look at antivaxxers.

Guess I’ll consume some more meat while I can then

Genuine question: how do you see this response as different than rednecks in lifted trucks saying things like “guess I’ll roll more coal for every Prius I see”?

Vegans = fascists of the food world. Follow my diet or I will harass you.
That is not a good technique to sway people's attitudes
MilitantVegan@lemmy.world 6 months ago
If I use a technique that you approve of, will you stop abusing animals?
tim-clark@kbin.social 6 months ago
No, due to my medical issues. Not everyone can eat the same diet. We should reduce our waste ld food which would.make a huge dent in the number of animals for food.

Do you not consider the inputs that go into raising animals for food to be a waste? Way more calories go into feed than come out as meat.
