  • I personally love cheesebreather, bloodmouth, and milk-drinker.

    Bonus points to milk-drinker because that’s not even a term made by vegans to call people coward babies. Play Skyrim and you’ll hear it all over the place!

    Carnist doesn’t count because it’s not technically an insult. It’s just a name for someone that practices carnism. Carnism IS terrible, but the purpose of the word is no different than Christian to Christianity.

    It’s hilarious that carnists get so butthurt about being called what they are though so I enjoy that part.


  • I’m sorry that you’ve dealt with the worst of us but it’s not all of us, or at least not me.

    Now for the love of any chance we have remaining to fix this country please vote Biden. We do not have the luxury of stopping Trump by splitting our vote when his minions are all voting together.






  • Why does it have to be both?

    Why do other orientations get to be easy to understand, but the ones that just want to say ‘no’ absolutely must be comfortable in the same label as yet another ’yes’?

    What is wrong with having graysexuality and asexuality be as separate as homosexuality and heterosexuality?

    Why do people want to force others to be comfortable with what they’re not comfortable with?

    Why is it so important to dismiss and erase people who just don’t have a sexuality that it’s acceptable to take over their one safe word and sexualize it?

    I genuinely find antisex spaces more welcoming than asexual spaces and I hate that. Because people born without sexuality often don’t care about other people having sex. It’s normal, it’s natural, it’s fine, it’s just not our thing. So why do people insist on sexual themes in a community started to be safe for those who are just born not sexual?

    Many of us already feel broken when we don’t get horny as teens. Yes, we’re freaks. We’re weirdos. We’re biological failures.

    We create a space to feel not broken. To vent among others born the same. So why take that away? Why take away the one safe term for people who already struggle with feeling like something is wrong with them by coming in and saying that people who DO like sex are the same label and the ones who don’t want sex at all are outsiders among outsiders?

    It hurts. It genuinely hurts to finally find others like you, to then be told that no, you’re still a weird broken minority even in this supposedly “fitting” label.

    Why is it so important to have a special label that it’s worth hurting the people it was made for to make sure more people can claim it?





  • If you will buy it, they will sell it.

    Corperations are not people. They have no moral compass. They do what their customers will pay for.

    Customers are people. Customers can choose based on any criteria. Convenience, morals, pleasure, whatever they value.

    You are the customer. By buying from animal agriculture, you are saying you value what they are selling.

    Yes, the thousands, millions, billions of customers matter. YOU are a customer. YOU MATTER. And if you choose to value something that is pure evil for all involved except your taste buds and their bottom line, then yes. You share in the blame. Especially now that you know what it causes.





  • So far as I know, they’re not shoving 20 ads in your face on every screen.

    I know they’re far from perfect. Heck they have a forced arbitration clause in their ToS.

    But compared to other services lately, Discord seems to mostly be trying to treat users as customers instead of products for advertisers. I’ll take it, and get some neat conveniences from Discord in turn.


  • There are too many damn love songs. 75% of all music does not need to be about love, relationships, and breakups. I stopped listening to radio because all the damn love songs got annoying.

    Can we please have more songs about literally anything else. Weed, flowers, rainy days, animal companions, construction work, types of cars, card games, anything. There’s more in life to sing about than just relationships and/or the lack of them!

    Sincerely, A person whose sexuality is “No” and has no interest in that kind of relationship.

    It’s sad that bACoN means more to people than the very lives of their loved ones on top of all the moral atrocities inherent in animal ag.

    The top reason I don’t have hope for the future. People don’t care if the world burns and disease runs rampant if it means they get their tendies right now.


  • Vegans simply existing make people feel uncomfortable, so defense mechanisms in the brain trigger.

    Since it’s an ethical stance, and people at least deep down know that killing innocent animals for 5 minutes of taste pleasure is wrong, but they don’t want to change themselves.

    So the brain tries to rationalize how it’s definitely not wrong and really the vegan is wrong, and/or demonize the position to shield itself from the discomfort of knowing.

    Basically psychological defenses kick in to defend unethical behavior that someone highlights by simply existing.
