Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

There are some very militant vegans out here on Lemmy, equating eating meat with rape and murder and generally being annoying without actually contributing to the discussions.

They are actively harming their cause. So much so, I suspect them of actually being trolls trying to make vegans look bad.

Or they are just dumb as a brick and don’t understand common discourse. That’s possible too.

Well if you support the rape and murder animals (both common in animal agriculture) don’t be surprised when people get upset

  Thank you for proving everyone’s point. This is the .01% I was talking about @CalciumDeficiency

    Eh, sometimes it makes sense to just call things as they are instead of trying to tiptoe around peoples feelings.
    
    If you don’t think artificial insemination is a form of rape/sexual violation, then idk what kind of meaningful discussion we can have. If you don’t think unnecessary killing is murder, then again idk what kind of meaningful discussion we can have. (Note that there’s not really any good reason for the term “murder” to only apply to humans. If someone kills your dog would you be opposed to the use of the word “murder” then?)

    Cool you should just block me, we won’t get along and I won’t be able to respond, since I’m blocking you right after this.
    
    Your parameters for conversation aren’t conducive for polite conversation.
    
    Feel free to say whatever you like back, I won’t see it and maybe you can feel better pretending like you won.
    
    Have the life you deserve.

    Do you refer to animals predating other animals as murder too?

While eating meat is neither murder nor rape, for meat to be produced, exactly that needs to happen.

Or how would you call it?

  Animals are born and die, it is the natural circle of life.
  
  You can blame the meat industry for horrific practices to satiate the market with cheap meat.
  
  But it is definitely possible to have ethical meat consumption that doesn’t involve murdering or raping the animals.
