We get it, you're vegan. We can tell by the smugness and the pretentious virtue signaling.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How is it virtue signalling when it prevents the deaths of many animals.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

where are the animals it prevented from dying?

[–] Lemminary -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Breaking news: hunger is solved by people furiously typing at their keyboards.

You're right, tho. But what are we gonna do about the smugness?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Calling others who reduce animal suffering as smug is not the own you think it is.

[–] Lemminary -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not the message, it's the delivery.

Being smug doesn't sting. Pay attention to what I'm criticizing, please.

I know you have your talking points and want to get to them but we're talking about something else here. I have nothing against veganism but I do have plenty to say about the stupid fan club.

We get it, you copied some Reddit comment a long time ago and that’s your default retort.

[–] Lemminary -2 points 1 month ago

Maybe I copy-pasted it from the deepest entrails of my brain. Who knows? Even I can't tell ya.
But I did think of it, reworded it, and then edited it, so..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We get it, you like to torture animals.

[–] Lemminary -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Can't say I like it having never done it. I gather you don't recommend it?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Eating the flesh and secretions against the consent of the animals is enjoying torture.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

you are stretching definitions to meaninglessness. no one likes torture.

[–] Lemminary 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is it now? Aren't they dead by then?

I'm just saying, accusing people of enjoying torture is exactly the smug attitude I'm criticizing. You can take your better-than-thou attitude and shove it.

Oops, I think I hit the nail on the head and it squeaked.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Someone is having trouble admitting they’re wrong.

[–] Lemminary -1 points 1 month ago

Are they not vegan? But if it talks and walks like one...

Also, holy shit the Avengers assembled.
