About us
"Veganism is a way of living that is just awesome, plus we totally get enough protein! Also, we totally get enough oral sex. Probably more than you, to be honest. Not bragging, just stating facts." - The Vegan Society
"They asked me to be careful and I was confused as to why, my b12 count has never been higher!" - John
"Dominion is horror filmmaking at its absolute finest." - IMDB"
Rules
- No meatflakes or meatflake Apologists
Absolutely under no circumstances are meatflakes allowed to freely participate in this community. Meatflakes/Carnists includes all persons who are not ethical vegans. We do not condone carnist coddling and hand-holding of any sort. This includes no advocating for animal deaths. The right to an animals life is non-negotiable. No advocating in favor of animal testing, death, or mass euthanasia.
- No Non-Leftists, Health and/or Environmental "Vegans"
Veganism is a leftist social justice movement for animal liberation. It is not a diet for your health and it is not for the human environment. This also, obviously, means No slurs/bigotry, Why would you even want to?
- No support of PBC
We do not condone or advocate for plant based capitalism. We will never support animal agriculture companies, or any business that exists to extract profit from vegans while funding animal exploitation. We are frustrated these businesses have infiltrated every vegan space and being represented online by ads for TVP and first world convenience food. We're not here to make food aisles bigger, this is about animal liberation. We have all had this convo already which leads us to rule 5
- No Debates/Serious Discussion
This is a community for memes for vegans and by vegans. There are lots of other places where you can have your debates.
- No Hero Worship, Influencers or Marketing
This is a community to jerk about veganism, not a place to promote your ego, new products, or embarrass yourself worshiping a YouTuber. If it is going to a good veganism related cause then message us and it will be approved at our discretion.
- No Meta Posting
Meta posting is usually very boring and not fit for a meme subreddit. I wish I could extend this to all the other vegan subreddits. If you really need to post meta about something with circlejerk in the name get a grip and delete your account

A lot of people will unfortunately not see the parallels. 1. Because they've been too far separated from where their food comes from 2. Because it's human to go out of one's way to mentally dismiss concerns when they regard something they've been doing for a long time. Oh and 3. For bonus points is just "A cow is just an animal, but a dog is a pet!"
I assure you that I've known people who had pet goats and would be absolutely disgusted by the idea of eating it, because of emotional attachment. Said farmers also had an eating flock. I respect y'all for following your own moral standards and ideas, but telling other random people they're evil for following a natural part of the human diet is not the way ...
Not sure where I said anyone is evil. Just that people dismiss parallels that clearly exist at opposite ends of their moral compass because they want to feel morally comfortable in their choices without actually considering them, especially when they're ones they've been making for a long time. In my personal opinion we're past the point where we need to process animals for consumption and (America) has gotten to the point where it is borderline concerning how separated from our food we are, but I'd draw short of villifying anyone simply because we're all creatures of the mud flying on a big mud ball across an seemingly infinite universe and to claim black/white good/bad as objective in that regard would be overstepping my understanding of reality.
