What is something you've done that was questionable but legal? - Lemmy

For the vast majority of my life, I regularly paid mega corporations in a corrupt and evil industry to rape females with machines to impregnate them, then separate the children from their mothers shortly after birth so that I could drink the mammary secretions meant for those children (who were then murdered if they were male, or raised in deplorable conditions to become part of the process themselves if they were female).

And vegans wonder why they have a reputation for being overly dramatic and preachy 🤦

If you want sane people to listen, maybe take it down several hundred notches…

We have this reputation solely because people feel threatened and offended when you tell them that you refuse to eat animal products. They suddenly start being confrontational and refuse to listen to your reasoning.

It’s like arguing with little children who plug their ears and sing while you’re trying to explain that 30% of the reason we’re in a climate crisis is their overconsumption of animal products, derived from creatures capable of emotion, able to see, hear, and smell not unlike you and me.

And those conversations do not come up unsolicited but provoked by meat eaters asking “but why would you do that to yourself?”

But maybe I’m being overly dramatic and preachy 🤦

If I didn’t completely kill your interest in the topic, check out Ed Winters on YouTube.

If the description above is not dramatic the idk.

Concepts like rape just don’t exist in the animal kingdom. It’s like the standard way of having offspring.

Same for the thing about taking children away.

Yep, totally natural way of having offspring

CW: faecal matter

Not what I said. Something being unnatural doesn’t make it rape though.

In vitro insemination in humans also isn’t rape.

No, but you keep arguing by applying naturalistic fallacy.
You keep arguing by anthropomorphic fallacy

You don’t need to get anthropomorphic to argue the ethical case. Besides, I have given many more arguments than the ethical aspects, while you only point to “nature”, so I will not engage in this discussion any further.

Thank you for the exchange though, and I’d be happy if you would reflect on your views one day and consider the perspective of other beings.
