An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

PETA's actions are the point though.
PETA's action in trying to convince people that cats are not different to fish in the sea is, indeed, fucking unhinged.
But they're not all loved.
How is it unhinged? It's at a fish market where this literally happens every day to thousands of animals. How is this any different?
It shows a lack of awareness of the mass mindset and lack of awareness of what kind of communication will be effective. The lack of awareness is so great, the communication so absurd, that it hints at minds detached from reality.
Yeah I guess it might not be that effective, but I think the goal is to get people thinking about why one of them is 'deranged' and the other isn't. I think it could definitely work on folks capable of a bit of introspection.
LOL
