If your first date is a glorious scam heist, the future looks promising

Maybe don't order carnist options though

You son of a bitch, I'm in.

Why not let people excercise their liberty to decide for themselves. Plus how is this relevent to a date a majority of people are omnivorous anyways

Was their comment one of those ‘self-identifying without being asked’ moments? Certainly feels stereotypical to me. But, it couldn’t be that obvious.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

It is. Some stereotypes exist for a reason, they're earned.

I prefer Arch Linux over the Golden Arches. It's much better for your health.

I want to say ‘exactly’, if I’m reading your comment right. The ‘carnist’ commenter could have ripped on McDonalds, or chicken nuggets in general, which both would have been super easy and everyone would have agreed with, and not made it weird by specifically falling into the stereotype here.

Its not the liberty of the animals to be exploited and murdered.

Nuggies are breaded, not just meat, so this is omnivorous not carnist.

Usually vegans use the term carnist to represent those who engage in animal products full stop, rather than breaking down the difference into carnivore and omnivore.

To us vegans, whether you're carnivore or omnivore results in the same outcomes. Plus, many conversations surrounding veganism don't necessarily involve diets, such as with clothing, in which case again it's easier to use a single term to describe everything non-vegan.

You might say that non-vegans is a good enough term to describe the above, but that kind of framing can paint carnists in a more benevolent light that acknowledges their freedom of choice, rather than framing carnists with regards to the outcomes they cause, and the victims that suffer because of them.

so it's just loaded language

Carnism

Ideology that supports the use and consumption of animal products.


Things can have several properties, for example a thing can be red, which doesn't mean the thing is not a cube.

Thank you for providing the definition. Keep fighting for the animals!
