Here's an idea, maybe the affluent and ultra rich can stop their decadent luxuries before us peasants give up the few pleasures in life left to us.
You mean eating meat?!
Me, I just like to rape, don't take that peasure from me. Go for billionaires first!
You’re fucking annoying
Why?
Do you truly lack that much awareness? If I didn’t already understand your point you would be the last person to teach me anything. You’re far too aggressive and as an abuse victim myself I don’t appreciate you using rape to make your point. I’m reading discussions and suddenly your comments pop in to completely derail it.
It seems like you're willfully ignoring their point to attack them on tone. I think the parallel is that both comments are saying something of the form "I enjoy doing something that harms others, therefore it's justified."
Did you watch the video? I'd maybe approach with caution if not, because it deals with topics like sexual assault, but it really makes this point clear.
If you are going to use sexual abuse to make a point you better be concise or the very least be funny. So yah, tone would make sense to comment on as if that was the only thing. You want to lead someone to that video, the way they are going about it is piss poor. You think that video is something new? that i haven't heard it before, get out of you bubble. If you can't phrase it as well or better than the video, maybe let the video talk for itself.
They could at least try to bring their point respectfully, instead of derailing and pushing gore into peoples faces.
We don't need to tolerate their behaviour, let alone give their argument even an inkling of thought.
This kind of stuff is what gives an otherwise noble goal a bad name. It is counter-productive. I know plenty of people who would start eating more meat just to not be associated with those people.
You ticked some boxes off the Vegan Bullshit Bingo there. Plus I didn't post gore (even though I could have, milk and meat production are incredibly violent and you know it).
It's a short film of three people talking, you should watch it.
And people like you are the reason veganism has a bad name
We would have more people going meatless if people like you didn't exist.
