what the fuck is carist or foid?
I believe “carnist” is used by more radical vegan/vegetarians to refer to meat-eaters
And I’m pretty sure “foid” is Intel for “women”, femoid became f-oid became foid.
TheTechnician27Mod of /c/[email protected], and we use “carnist” pretty regularly. “Carnist” either means supporting carnism (“carnist rhetoric”) or someone who subscribes to it (“a carnist”), where carnism is (I think Wiktionary summarizes it best):
The human ideology that supports the slaughter of certain animals and the consumption of their meat or other products (leather from skin, etc).
By contrast, a meat-eater is more broadly an “omnivore” or “omni”. This will vary by person, but “carnist” will be used over “omnivore” when the person isn’t just passively participating in the system but actively arguing in support of the ideology behind it.
It’s a term very rarely seen outside vegan circles, so it’s stunning to see on a list like that; I wonder if Kolanaki talked with a vegan, said some stupid shit, got called a “carnist”, and has been big mad ever since.
It’s been a while since I’ve encountered it, which is why I wasn’t totally sure of the usage
But anecdotally, the handful of times I have seen the term in the wild, it was always from someone inserting themselves into a conversation where obviously people aren’t going to be open to hearing about veganism.
Like if they hopped into a thread about, for example, a BBQ or hunting forum, and started berating people for eating meat, and when they get told to pound sand, they go off about how that’s “typical carnist behavior” or something.
Which I think you can probably agree is pretty CHUD-y
Not saying that’s how it’s used in regular vegan circles, but that’s how I’ve personally seen used it as a non-vegan
I’ve seen it used here on Lemmy in aggressive comments, and I filed it as an extremist slur. It’s not just Kolanaki.
Same here. I’ve never seen it in the real world.
M137It’s pretty common among vegans and vegetarians IRL too, and it’s often just used as a simple word with no deeper meaning than just someone who eats meat. Like “hey, X is coming to dinner next week, they’re a carnist though so we gotta make something that they’d like”.
TIL. Thanks.
I’ve never heard it as a vegan with a couple vegan friends, only by some very angry people on lemmy. I just say he’s is/is not vegetarian and that’s descriptive enough.
I also find “carnist” to be sort of a try-hard word in regular use, but the other part that SHOULD be said is that choosing to use it is useful for perspective switching. Typically being vegan or vegetarian is a minority position so the language in general basically normalizes omni eating habits. “Carnist” as a turn of phrase makes it possible to shift “normal” to more closely match veganism.
I’m going to also add here, as a separate comment, that I am omni leaning toward carnist, but I’ve got quite a lot of respect for @[email protected] in stepping up as a mod but also being a reasonable person who fosters honest discussion. Not my first +1, but I’m always happy to give it!
SaneMartiganI’ve read “blood mouth” to refer to meat eaters, which I thought sounded like loser talk.
Edit: I think most people have this interaction. Every vegan I’ve met out in the world has been a cool relaxed person, a bunch of vegans online are loud mouthy fuckwits.
I mean, it sounds awesome for a band name or a D&D character.
Thats probably because the vegans you’ve met in the world go outside lol
breakfastmtnFoid is short for ‘female humanoid,’ insinuating that women are non- or sub-human.
BurgerBaronJordan Peterson and his daughter call themselves carnists too no?
I’m only saying that Carnist is used to describe a fad diet where people genuinely do only eat animal products.
It’s not only used in a derogatory way.
Carnist is used to describe a fad diet where people genuinely do only eat animal products.
So like exclusively meat, cheese, honey, and milk? Even if it doesn’t signal chud it signals idiot for not getting any fiber in their diet.
Yeppers. It has thankfully mostly died out as a fad. r*ddit link sorry:
spoilerWTF, people actually believe comments about old hair color going back from gray to black? Suckers born every minute I guess.
I know things can be counterintuitive with stuff science discovers about diets, like how it doesn’t seem that eating high fat/protein should be a way to lose weight (keto). But this seems on par with rogan-bro no fap bullshit of the highest level.
“Oh no, I had some kale and my joints exploded!”
Quoting JP is a sure sign of a chud.
Food is short for Female Humanoid, an attempt to dehumanize women as individuals.
