Every year around a trillion sentient beings live and die in horror. This happens in the vast majority of cases because people want to feel slightly more pleasure than they think they would feel if they ate beans.
Each one of these lives is a unique and beautiful thing, no more or less special than you or I. A brilliant, shining negation of the vast empty silence of the universe.
But chucklefuck here is more concerned about convenience than morality.
hey you just spoke your truth and people are downvoting you and i just want to say that’s fucked up. i asked a question and you clearly put thought and effort into your response. i mean you called the guy a chucklefuck, but tbh that’s a silly enough insult as to be taken entirely in jest, no prob.
idk it just feels like you’re being needlessly dunked on, this is the stupidest aspect of internet discourse.
Lol it doesn’t matter. Do gooder derogation is a well studied phenomena. It’s generally more important to people to protect their image of themselves as a good person than to actually be one by their own values.
We’ve all gotten frustrated at that person trying to get us to use guppy bags to filter plastics from clothing in the wash, or who was an early mover on reusable bags or whatever. Shit a lot of people probably simultaneously hate on people that leave dog poo behind while also having not gone back to pick up after their pets that time they left bags at home.
Almost everyone loves animals and hates people that hurt them for pleasure, but then goes and hurts them for pleasure. That’s a fucking painful truth, it sucks to realise you’re not fundamentally different from some horrible trophy hunter or whatever. It hurts to realise that the chicken you’re eating has emotions just as vivid and real as that dog you love to pat on your walk to the bus stop.
Much easier to just hate on the people doing something different than to acknowledge it’s not too difficult to change and having to look deep into yourself and ask some hard questions. Invent a cartoon where they’re all self righteous do-gooders, probably rich and privileged with no notion of the real world. Then why listen? they are the enemy and the enemy is wrong.
The truth is we all have blood on our hands, almost nobody was done the service of being raised vegan. I’ve loaded chickens up on a truck and sent them off to die thirsty and confused myself. We’re just the ones that chose to stop killing, because some fucking hero spent their energy and sanity making sure we couldn’t look away from the horror.
Sorry if our jokes are too acerbic for you, but absolutely nobody is making carnist come in to a circlejerk and make arses of themselves because they found a fragment of the fragment of the world that doesn’t cater to them.

That’s my problem.
