    The vegan in this meme is a fucking clown. 🤡

    “I’m vegan but I’m a hypocrite and don’t actually care if others constantly kill and consume animals for no reason. People might treat me poorly if I stand up for other species, and who cares if they die anyway?”

    Looking forward to all the rare conditions everyone will suddenly have in response to my comment.

      Being a prick isn’t making anyone eat less meat. Ensuring others have easy access and knowledge of lower meat diet options does. Sounds to me like the clown is doing a better job of helping animals than you are 🤷🏻‍♂️.

        Funny because I almost used “murderer” but knew every animal abuser would set down their burger for 20 seconds to go “well actually murder is only when you kill people…” but yeah, it’s totally okay for you to use that language. 😒

          I know, that’s why I used it.

        I just don’t get it. If you actually don’t need to consume animals to survive then why do it at all? People expect us to be nice to them about it??

            Apply this to anything else though. This comes up in all sorts of other social issues whenever one group has a problem and another group sees no problem.

            “I just wish they’d be nicer about it” has been applied to environmentalism and civil rights issues too, and I don’t think it’s a valid response.

            People making you uncomfortable doesn’t invalidate what they’re saying.

            Acting like we haven’t been around people before and know exactly how they feel, who still get frustrated because they’re expected to be nice to people they’ve come to realize are willing participants to animal abuse is classic nonvegans.
