  Huh? What would you call someone who cares about animal exploitation, and what should we call those that don’t?

    I don’t go over my day calling people names. It’s not hard for me to call them as they want them to be called, and if I don’t know that, they are just people like me.

      Carnist is a description of someone who has a meat-inclusive diet, other descriptions of people by what they can or cannot eat are e.g. vegan, lactose intolerant, celiac… It’s not a “name” you call someone, it’s a description of someone using a certain aspect of them relevant to the discussion.

      A “name”, as in, something used to insult would be e.g. corpsemuncher, bloodmouth, cheesebreth &c.

        It’s used as a pejorative. It’s disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

      another user said it’s like how christians call non-believers sinners. that makes sense to me.

        The actual term is secular. The ones using sinner are the vegans of the Christian world.

    Most people are apathetic, and a chunk of those are due to ignorance. Calling them carnists likely isn’t helping the cause at all.
