    “Vegan sex” is actually a different thing. It’s penetration but you stop before you cum.

      If the human you’re fucking consented, then consuming their fluids is vegan. Hell if they consent, eating them would be vegan too.

      Animals do not consent to having fluids extracted or their lives taken and flesh consumed. Animal agriculture keeps animals in filthy, torturous conditions too, which no animal would ever consent to either.

    It only counts when it’s voluntary, tho.

  It’s like how they put the word gate after something to say that it is a scandal involving the former word.

  Somesort of political scandal involving road maintenance? Oh yes well that’s roadgate then. Even though the Watergate scandal was in fact it scandal in the watergate hotel, rather than a scandal about water.

    Someday we’ll have Gate gate, or maybe even another scandal at the Watergate complex, so Watergate gate.

    I can’t wait!

  Awe so the article author has a vendetta against vegans got it.

  I mean, abstaining from animal products makes someone a vegan, right? If you abstain from AI products then it would follow that you’re an “AI vegan”.

  source

  • normalexit@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It follows, but it is also feels like click bait.

    A definition of vegan is:

    A vegetarian who eats plant products only, especially one who uses no products derived from animals, as fur or leather.

    There is an environmental parallel, and it made me read the article to see what they were on about – so I guess it worked.

    To be clear, I am very pro environment (I live in it); I just feel like this is crossing the streams of related, but completely different movements, isn’t particularly helpful.

    Abstaining from animal products is just vegetarian. Veganism requires an extremely strict adherence to a very specific set of rules concerning animals.

      Vegetarians can eat cheese, which is an animal product.

  But it makes people come off as extremely annoying. So that’s working.
