So your advice is: 1) don't pay it and 2) work and live in a different country. Super reasonable! /s

At the risk of overanalyzing a web comic, I feel it's worth cautioning that this screams toxic nice guy syndrome.

Why? You're disappointed with the explanation? Disagree with it? Or you don't like its somewhat informal tone? I thought it was well written, enjoyed the information / humor, and can respect the explanation.

The meat industry contributes to a significant amount of global carbon emissions (11-17% of global carbon emissions according to a few sources). The meat industry has been the primary reason for the Amazon rainforest's deforestation. Industrial cow, pig, and fish farms are quite destructive/poisonous in whatever environment they're in. The large amount of antibiotic misuse in meat farms is leading to super resistant bacteria. In multiple studies, a healthy vegan diet is has been shown to be better in multiple health metrics when compared to a healthy omnivore diet. And, finally, the meat industry is typically terrible for the life of animals involved, especially the large meat farms.

Overall, prolifers typically supporting the political parties that typically support the meat industry does suggest hypocrisy. I imagine that's what the original commenter was suggesting.

Are you trying to making a connection between a bad / weak man and being gay? If so, that's a shitty, inappropriate attempt at a joke.

In several of the parks, yes! Hell, getting drunk off of "drinks from around the world" at Walt Disney World's EPCOT is a popular theme for adult guests nowadays. However, I'll mention that Disneyland is still quite restrictive (though their neighboring park, California Adventure, is not and fully embrace alcohol sales).

Several of the global Disney parks besides California Adventure sell alcohol. Even in the original park, Disneyland, which has long had a nearly total ban on alcohol has relented and has started selling booze in limited venues (most notably, the Blue Bayou restaurant, which is a fantastic restaurant btw). Money talks, and booze is pretty good money.

Actually about 7% of those that have tried it are still alive and well! 😀 (Our current global population represents about 7% of all humans that have ever lived)

You'd 100% be selling overpriced alcohol in an adult-centric theme park. If Six Flags and even Disney have figure out how to do it safely (and very profitably, I'm sure), so can other theme parks.
