I get so scared to interact with the vegan users on here. And I am on their side.
But like why do I see people getting harrassed and banned for like admitting out loud they love cheese too much so that they haven’t been able to find a replacement yet but they are looking?
Why does veganism manifest in such a scary way here? Speaking as someone who participates in non-scary vegan commities 😭I wish the vegan movement so much success and I don’t want that to result in a schism on here but I feel like doing harrassment and name calling doesn’t work well. Just like, be kind.
Thinking about it, it is strange that such extremist behavior seems so prevalent around here. In the real world, I haven't heard much like this since the Australian couple that malnourished their puppies years ago. They displayed the same level of smugness the whole time.
On the fediverse, however, it seems like I see someone yelling "carnist rapist murderer" every couple of days. I'm honestly starting to think that there actually might be some kind of corpo-backed false-flag going on here, it's so extreme and constant. There are people in this thread alone who are so extreme it reaches the point of parody.
Let's be honest, Lemmy is not a good sample of the general population. We're all atypical in one way or another, it makes sense that niche extremism concentrates here.
I agree with your first paragraph 🧡
Second paragraph is a reach. I think it’s just a symptom of online toxicity, as in people feel enabled to do verbal abuse when they can’t see the person on the other side of the screen. You don’t need to stoop to the false flag accusations to see the cause, it’s literally just the same setting that brings about all uniquely online abuse.
Ive been thinking about that and I have a theory that most of those "extremist vegans" are people trying to make others hate vegans. Im not positive this is true but it makes more and more sense to me.
Ah yes, Big Tomato is funding an anti-meat lobby on Lemmy.
The actual logical explanation you're missing is that you've been propagandized so you think murder is normal, and being against murder is extremist.
Aaaaand you've willfully ignored what I've said so you can do more grandstanding. This is precisely what I'm referring to. Your first sentence shows that you didn't even understand what you were replying to.
For context, I was saying that meat corporations may be paying trolls to make vegans look like loons and idiots in a similar fashion to Russia's pro-Trump troll farms. That is the exact opposite of what you've now claimed.
I can think of two possible reasons for your complete failure at a response:
And based on the complete disconnect between what my comment actually said and the ignorant content of your own, I'd say the latter is entirely possible.
Damn, you caught me. Yep, I'm a paid shill for the meat industry. I'm trying to trick you into eating lots of meat. Please don't go vegan, it would be so bad for our shareholder value.
You literally had to make something up to be mad about.
And yes, I'm blocking you, because there's no value in arguing with a troll that has to completely swap the opposing argument just to feel superior. Goodbye.
