  • Look at all those people in that thread going “I dont know if animals have the same emotions or just similar ones” or “we can’t prove that plants dont feel pain too!” and then splitting hairs in the most asinine pseudophilisophical debates, just so they dont have to engage with the core of the issue, that what they’re doing is fucked up.

    They know it, deep down, as did I before I went vegan, but it’s eye-opening to see it “from the other side”.



  • attack on identity

    Another debate term. I’m not arguing with you. I don’t care about the truth value of that statement since it’s irrelevant to the point that I wanted to make. Please stop seeing every conversation through the lense of which fallacy can be applied. Not everything is a debate.

    You’ll see it’s a much more freeing and fun way to interact with people, I promise.


  • On second thought youre probably really young in which case I want to apologise. You’re right that I neither argued for the claim in the link nor against your claim, I don’t care about either of them since their irrelevant to the main point. Word of advice though, these kind of “fallacy debates” about irrelevant details are not productive I have never witnessed someone being swayed by it. Find something you actually care about then argue about that. Argue why you care for it, people are much more convinced by emotion than some stylized formal argument.



  • the latter lol it’s just been bog-standard racism the past century. There’s quite the movement to create inclusive childrens books though, to normalize different family structures and cultures right from the start, but animal books for vegans are still quite sparse.

    edit: there’s one book where spousal abuse is played for laughs a couple times though, by a very popular author too, extremely weird shit
