Welcome
Welcome to c/[email protected]. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.
What is Veganism?
'Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ...'
— abridged definition from The Vegan Society

- Posts are to be as accessible as practicable:
- pictures of text require alt-text;
- paywalled articles must have an accessible non-paywalled link.

MODERATORS
Does it have any one-liners likely to be referenced by people? Like the ones from the movie
If that's your only reason for watching a movie...
This anime doesn't particularly interest me otherwise (it's multiple episodes), I already saw the movie and it was just ok. The "vegan powers", "vegan police" stuff is something I never hear the end of from other people, though. "You get 3 strikes before the vegan police catch you!" "Vegan police!" "No vegan diet, no vegan powers." "Chicken parm isn't vegan?! Gelato isn't vegan?! It's milk and eggs b-" "Being vegan makes you better than most people" yada yada. That movie (Scott Pilgrim vs the World) is honestly where a lot of people get their first exposure to veganism from, and something they gravitate to whenever the subject comes up. In my experience anyway
The vegan was the villain?
Yeah :/ On the bright side, they're presented as a pretty "cool"/attractive character and it also exposed a lot of people to the idea of veganism in the first place. I liked the fact that a lot of people heard this line said by a vegan character in a mainstream movie: "I partake not in the meat, nor the breast milk, nor the ovum, of any creature with a face." (The 'with a face' part was unnecessary, since there are faceless animals we don't eat/exploit either, but good enough)
