the sooner carnists just admit that they're evil and morally bankrupt for eating meat, the sooner these struggle sessions will finally end

I didn't mean to start a struggle session, I just thought the meme was extra dank.

Huge numbers of Hexbears pretending they're not 
while simultaneously doing the exact same "Oh you're vegan? I'm going to eat extra meat because of you" shit
What's the huge number in this case, two or three?
The nuclear hellfire could have been prevented if hexbearian ~~omnivores~~ carnists had just watched the minion. Change my mind.

I’ll never watch those little yellow bastards

My main issue with vegan struggle sessions is that it affirms my hesitance to associate with other vegans because they come in incredible hostile and aggressive to literally any space upending anything to make a point in such a way that makes everyone roll their eyes at them. Not because veganism isn't the morally correct position to take (it is) but because online vegans haven't found a way to overcome their inability to speak to others like they're on the comment section of a Youtube video and end up invalidating any point they could've made by acting like a fool.
Like I'm not going to defend someone who equates animal liberation on the same level with black civil rights or palestinian liberation at a meeting that is comprised almost entirely of black/hispanic/palestinian people talking about the links between palestinian and black liberation like someone I know IRL tried to do and go shouted down (rightfully I might add) when the PoC in the meeting either looked uncomfortable or offended since what it sounded like they were being equated to animals with all the racial baggage that it carries.
Learn to talk to other people and maybe people may be more amendable. Bullying only works on people just as online as you are, and that doesn't encompass as many people as you think, that's why people tend to reject you and your messaging based not on its content but on its delivery.
Pure civility brain. You know better than this. We all know better than this on every other topic.

Not if you're telling black and brown people that saving chickens from the slaughterhouse is on the same level as their fear of being shot on the street, as in the example I used.
maybe i dont know how 'convincing people' works but my gut reaction to 'should we let civility get in the way of actually doing something' was not becoming as unapproachable, unattractive and generally repugnant as possible
Standing up for the oppressed and speaking out against their oppressors is "generally repugnant"

Do you think this kind of behavior is ok?
I think being an asshole and then making fun of people who call you an asshole makes you an asshole
On one side: being an asshole
On the other side: genocide on a literally unimaginable scale
Yeah I'm just really concerned about civility
your last few comments:
im just going to spam this emote and create a silly strawman of their argument which totally makes me right, which ironically makes me the exact person the emoji was made to critique but im not going to think about that. That'll show 'em
While veganism is good and superior to eating meat, I agree, like, this is not a great way to spread the practice and convince others of that. Like, even among vegans it's not a consensus that animal lives and human lives are 1:1, in all contexts. So going off that logical assumption and then straight to declaring animal processing the worst genocide of all time, worse than the Holocaust, is going to throw people off lol.
no but its also the slave trade and if you dislike that comparison you're reactionary scum
time is a fat circle
dummy thicc
Is there a current struggle session I am unaware of?
trolly problem meme in local active
The struggle sessions will keep going until the reactionaries get banned. Imagine how shitty this site would be if racists or transphobes just got their comments removed and were allowed to keep on posting the same shit for days and weeks and months on end.
yes people who eat meat are basically the same as being racist or transphobic?????
have fun in your little purity crusade
You've had your comments removed for going on ridiculous anti-vegan tirades like 5 times in completely separate threads now separated by months
Wtf does it take for you to get banned???
I'm not being anti vegan? I'm not doing that am I? I have not said anything anti vegan. I just dislike the comparison of 'carnists' to people who want to kill me for being a woman. Don't try to take me out of context. I am disagreeing with you not veganism.
Not respecting the sentience of other species is quite literally the same.
i love how people who hate my existence are just as evil as someone who doesn't care about eating a McRib
meat eating is bad but I don't think im going to compare them to people who don't want me to exist as I truly am
Imagine how shitty this site would be if racists or transphobes just got their comments removed and were allowed to keep on posting the same shit for days and weeks and months on end.
remembers the racist/imperialist comments vegans made in the first struggle session
Yeah that'd be terrible.
hi I'm here to whine about some shit that happened 3 years ago when the site was run by completely different people, I'm sure this is relevant to a user who's been here for 3 months and is posting about an ongoing conflict
Wtf is your problem

One did, and this time it was someone I never liked the takes of to begin with.

I'm waiting for someone to notice that bears eat fish and rally to remove the Hexbear name and logos and change it to Hexbean
I'm 99.9% sure you're doing a bit, but just in case you aren't, vegans are not opposed to animals eating animals.
Oh fuck why didn't we call the Vegan community Hexbean

"man, everyone out there is pissing in a big trough," i say, while pissing in a separate toilet
you devious bastard you just moved the struggle session
Did anyone prominent get banned this time or is it just one of those rehashed struggle sessions where nothing substantial happens? So far, I've seen this person get banned, but they got banned for being some antinatalist freak in the middle of some vegan struggle session, so they don't count.
