  the definition of veganism has nothing to do with consent, only exploitation.

    And if I’m consenting, then it isn’t exploitation when a hot vampire gives me the biggest fucking hickey

      consenting exploitation is still exploitation

        Scroll down to verbs. When you’re talking about someone else, there’s an implication of unfairness. This is why vegans don’t eat animals or use animal products. If the animals could consent, there would be nothing wrong with it.

    Doesn’t consent imply the absence of exploitative forces?

      exploitation and consent are unrelated. I exploit water resources every day, and consent is an absurd topic to raise in this context. the definition of veganism requires the abstention from exploitation of animals for food. there is no exemption made for consenting animals

        Exploit does mean “use/utilize” but I assumed the common subtext of “use unfairly or in a manner not conducive to overall welfare”

        The way that people use the word “exploit” when talking about living things is different from the way we use it when talking about nonliving things. It implies a lack of consent from the one being exploited.
