      They have got a point. You know what they mean. People will ignore you if you push your narrative too far, in their opinion

        Because I said “animal rape?” How dare I state blatantly where the beloved dairy products come from, the horror!

          Apparently it doesn’t bother you that you make veganism look bad since you chose to be sarcastic like that. You’re actively preventing veganism

            Are you a vegan?

            If not, who are you to say you know what’s best for our movement?

            Activism from all sides is important to the cause. You downplaying this Lemming’s activism is serving to silence their voice

                Try telling that to the fascist Israelis committing a live stream Holocaust.

                People are either receptive or not. Activists can choose how to communicate their message. Just because it doesn’t work for you, that doesn’t mean it won’t work for others.

                  … in threads like this, people like you always get downvoted, and people saying spreading the message via exaggeration doesn’t work gets upvoted. Unless you think the only people who matter don’t vote, the data (and common sense) is against you.

                    You cite data. What’s your data that proves that singular attack vectors at persuading populations works best, compared to multiple vectors?

                    And what common sense? Eating meat, and using animals in general for our purposes, is serving as one of the largest contributors to climate change, to water overuse, to nitrogen and fertilizer runoff that kills ocean life, to heart disease (red meat specifically), and to cancer (UN classifies red meat as a carcinogen).

                    Seems to me that your “common sense” is willful ignorance at the pleasure of others’ suffering, both on an acute and obtuse level.

                    I do agree with you that this is common. Most societies today are not vegan. Hell, most aren’t pro-Palestinian, or at least the governments aren’t. That latter example is changing, thankfully.

            I’m with this guy.

            Also I think even if they want to make the most forfecul point possible, I don’t think talking about consent is the greatest thing.

            Should really impress the fact that they’re won’t produce milk unless they’ve been pregnant. So dairy cows are kept pregnant as much as possible. They live like five years then collapse of exhaustion and get carted to the slaughterhouse.

            The cows my late grandma tended to in her youth lived like 20 years.

            Industrial intensive farming is immoral as fuck but I can’t really pretend like the cow understands sexual assault.

              Its also an insult to actual rape victims to equate artificial insemination of a cow with rape. Just using their real suffering as propaganda to push an agenda

                Have you ever been forcefully impregnated before?

                Have you even had your recent new born separated from you and made orphan?

                Just because the sexual act isn’t between the same species, and because the subordinate doesn’t resist, doesn’t make it any more wrong.

                And how do you know that cows DON’T resist being artificially inseminated? How do you know you can generalize?

                  First two questions: False equivalency, I am not livestock.

                  Last question: It’s interesting that you have such extreme views without seeming to know anything about it. You should probably inform yourself and learn something about dairy, before choosing an extreme and naive conviction. I know the cows do not resist because they are artificially inseminated while in estrus.

                    Your application of false equivalency here just cements my idea of you. You’re egocentric and anthropocentrist, and only care about the human species for moral consideration. You’re no different to me than the fascists in power the world over that seek to dominate minority groups.

                    Cows have a variety of responses to being artificially inseminated. Because of this, farmers have adopted different tactics to force them to submit, whether that’s using drugs, stun guns, cages that don’t allow the cows to flee. Whether cows resist, which is possible, or they submit doesn’t matter. They are still raped at the end of the day.

                    If YOU know so much about the dairy industry, then you either know the answers to this debate and choose to ignore them because it makes you look bad, or you ignore the reality altogether and tell yourself bedtime stories to cope with your already existing immoral habits.
