    I’m not a vegan but saying “humans eat meat like all superior species” is so weird bro like superior in what way?

      Yes, yes! Humans are superior because they eat meat! Just like small dinosaurs do! But I eat more meat than they do. It is not fair. So I should share my meat with them! I do not need all of my human meat. I sit at my human computer all day, I do not need my human legs. If any small dinosaurs hid under my desk and ate my legs, I would not mind. They are hungry and need my meat, so I will let them have it.

      !wow y’all are dense.!<

          You are arguing with someone who is roleplaying.

          They are, as far as I can tell, pretending to be some small dinosaur which is in turn pretending to be a human on the internet. It is a bit character.

              Sorry I had to just deadpan describe what you were doing. Normally it would be a mood killer, and I would avoid doing that, but the mood in here is already rancid.

                Yeah, it’s okay, it wasn’t your fault. I honestly should have checked the community before posting because I just showed up here from the all communities feed and thought I was in /c/196 or something. It’s why I made the original edit to my post. The, “you’d be okay with eating humans then, right?” is such a played-out meme anyway. There are a lot of reasons why eating humans is an extremely bad idea; anyone posing that question unironically probably isn’t going to have a sense of humor anyway.

      I think they’re satirising carnists, who think that eating animals is okay because of biological supremacy but won’t admit it.

        Eh, kinda. It more has to do with the fact that there are a lot of problems with eating human meat from a health and safety standpoint and it kinda blows my mind that people still use, “so it’s okay to eat humans then, right?” unironically. It’s a little bit of column A (making fun of carnists), a little bit of column B (making fun of the, “human meat” argument), and a little bit of a hidden column C (I like smol raptors and I firmly believe that they’d be on the same level as cats and dogs when it comes to pet popularity if they were still around). I was actually considering making a shitty drawing of a bunch of raptors at a computer or in a trench coat with a human mask or something, but the joke’s kinda ruined at this point.

      humans are superior because we have tamed out environment to a degree that no other animal has been able to do. we are the top of the food chain and are in control.

        We are controlled by our pets. We have laws that force us to take care of our pets and enforcement called the police to ensure these laws are followed and the best part is the entire species is so dumb and inferior that it doesn’t realise it.

          not sure what point you are trying to make. I hope you aren’t implying that because we have laws preventing people from abusing their pets that somehow pets are at the top of the food chain

            The point I’m trying to make is humans aren’t superior. I don’t genuinely believe pets are at the top of the food chain but I also don’t believe humans are superior. Superior has connotations of looking down on the rest to me that maybe it doesn’t have to you.
