  The happy animals one is hilarious. I would have no problem with someone eating me after I died and I sure as shit am not happy

    Ah yes. That one is the one where every interlocutor happens to only eat meat “from their uncles farm with 3 cows on 40 acres of pasture, where they’re hand-scrubbed by cherubs while eating figs.”

      Aw man I fucked that up. My uncle has 40 cows on 3 acres that get hand scrubbed by figs while eating cherubs.

        So we’re not getting hand milked by 40 cows while getting figged by 3 cherubs.

      and the cows only die of old age and untreatable disease…

    I don’t care about my corpse after I’m dead, but I do somewhat disagree with getting killed.

      But would you want to … get … Milked?

      Sorry

        You wouldn’t drink Valmond milk?

      Either way, it would be really hard to voice my opinion

      I donate my corpse to necrophilia after I die. Go nuts you guys.

  The “Vegans are loud and annoying” crowd are more loud and annoying than actual vegans in my personal experience.

    Often when society had an extreme default position on a topic, its defenders sound batshit insane.

    See:

    • Gay and trans rights
    • Reproductive rights
    • Veganism
    • Unregulated capitalism
    • Homelessness

    So true. I’m not vegan, but someone proudly yelling about how much meat they eat is so fucking cringe. Very “suck it, libs” mindset.

    But probably won’t get called a murderer 20 seconds into the discussion though.

      You’d be surprised. Both “The farming of your plants kills more animals than livestock raising” and “veganism is genocide because they’ll stop breeding the animals if we stop eating them” unironocally come up almost instantly when I talk about it and I’m not even quite vegan, I just avoid animal products because of allergies to a lot of them…

  politely raises hand While I think factory farming is abhorrent, I find the most compelling reasons to eat plant-based to be the environmental ones. Therefore, I think “I only eat a little bit of meat” is actually a huge positive step someone can take. If your primary concern regarding meat is the cruelty of taking the life of another animal, that’s completely valid, but compared to the others, that square just feels out of place.

  35 points for Ravenclaw for the provision of the vegan bingo.

  It took me a whole 24 hours to realise that the person having a weird, inconsistent, fact-swerving argument with me (about my assertion that most male cattle are killed young for meat) was the original one from the screenshot!

  • Enkers@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    My last time talking to them, they were arguing that the use of the word “exploitation” in the vegan society’s definition of veganism simply meant “use” because that’s a thesaurus entry for exploitation. When their argument breaks down they go full on “words are just invented”.

    • davidagain@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I found the comment chain. Nuts. They always pick and the weirdest stuff to argue over.

    Unequivocally, yes you are, and at that, you’re one of the most agonizingly stubborn and disinformed ones I’ve ever talked to.

    • commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      your link shows the same as the op thread: I’m primarily interested in a factual, scientifically accurate discussion.

        My link shows that you’re interested in muddying the waters by either intentionally spreading disinformation or by speaking with absolute confidence about subjects you clearly lack the capacity to understand even the most fundamental principles of.

        You sure love to argue against points that you perceive as supporting veganism, though!

  TIL there’s a bingo TLD.

  source
• EfreetSK@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  I’m not even sure if that bingo is supposed to be pro-vegan or anti-vegan …

  source

  • Enkers@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    When I was a young vegling, I spent some time doing “outreach” on r/DebateAVegan (air quotes because it often felt about as impactful as having a wank), and you’d see those bingo arguments being used ALL THE TIME.

    I actually did occasionally get some fairly novel and thought provoking stuff, from time to time, but mostly it was explaining the basics of biology or econ to people like in OP’s example.

      My main problem is when people are aggressively trying to make me feel guilty about just living.

      source
    • python@programming.dev ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Just curious, does a community like that exist here on lemmy? I do have some questions that aren’t answered by the vegan bingo and would love to ask someone, but going straight to !vegan@lemmy.ml feels kinda intrusive

      source

      • Enkers@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        !vegan@lemmy.ml specifically disallows debate style posts. Your best bet is probably either !askvegans@lemmy.ca or !vegan@lemmy.world
