    I don’t think “it’s weird therefore bad” is a good argument. If you’re gonna argue for veganism (which I don’t have a problem work doing!) I think there are way, way better reasons.

      I agree, can you point me to whichever commenter told you it was bad?

      I’m not big into veganism myself, but feel free to spread your vegan wings here if you like.

      Seems as appropriate a place as any.

        “it’s weird and should be more stigmatized” that seems to be making a moral claim right? I guess you never explicitly said that it’s because it’s weird that it should be stigmatized, but it certainly seemed to be structured like that.

        And ah maybe I misunderstood, what you were saying just sounds like how a lot of ppl talk about it on the vegan forums I used to regular, lmao.

          If the original comment was truly a sarcasm then I give a huge applause for Varyk. It’s certainly 200 IQ level.

          I’m not sure what triggers a moral defense there, except for the traditional context of the word “stigma”, maybe? Yeah, might have taken it one assumption too far.

          I guess you can make a moral argument against drinking milk because of factory farming infrastructure, but even with factory farming I think anyone would find it easier to argue against the mass slaughter in horrific conditions before the milk charge would make waves.

          Even though drinking xeno-boob-juice is super weird.

          So you used to be a vegan? Or you just crashed their forums?
