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

that's chill
What about people who eat meat but are not against vegans?
Something like
- People who are against the enslavement, exploitation and killing of billions of innocent animals, but not so much that they wouldn't partake by eating a cheeseburger now and then?
At least that's me some days.
If you're not murdering baby kittens and using fresh pig carcasses as furniture, are you even carnivoring, bruv?
Should it be exchanged with a piglet gas chamber/hatchling shredder for a better temper?
I love animals!
Especially smothered in BBQ sauce
Or with a crispy skin.
What about them?
Violence is not the answer, it's the question, and the answer is always yes.

Vegans are food for non-vegans, simple!
And if I compare carnism to cannibalism I'm the weird one.
I'm not even against the killing of people. Only suffering bothers me.
Hey, you most likely weren't raised vegan, too. I'd also argue that to oppose suffering, you have to give individuals (i.e./that is people) some sort of worth, but then most killing doesn't check out.
Naw, I know some people with negative worth who still shouldn't be suffering. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're suffering from their lack of worth. This is a matter of ethics, not value.
Those might be suffering from lack of self-worth, but making difference between people's worth opens up a can of ethical mold. Misanthropy is one thing, but the value of human life is untouchable.
No, that attitude is simple evolutionary pressure to stay alive. The value of a human is no different from the value of a cow ethically, and I'll eat cow. I don't want either to suffer. Some people are economically far less valuable than cows.
Cultural evolution > Social Darwinism
Do you eat human? From a "farm"? Or shot "in the wild"?
Right to exist is not touched by effort.
Do you know what would reduce suffering for both cow and human?
Nobody has a right to exist. You have to fight just like anything else.
I really hope for your environment that you don't actually believe or implement this.
So THAT'S why i only eat meat when i'm in front of my vegan friends!
and then everyone clapped
Hey, you most likely weren't raised vegan, too. I'd also argue that to oppose suffering, you have to give individuals (i.e./that is people) some sort of worth, but then killing that isn't self-defense doesn't check out.
