Lmao the slurs you make up are so cute

Nobody defends factory farms they're universally hated

Nobody defends factory farms they’re universally hated

But not enough for people to boycott, other than a single-digit % of the population.

Can you explain how that is a slur? Who is being unfairly oppressed/please describe the victim of the slur?

[-] syreus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

If you are describing omnivores as "carnies" then that would be a slur since most people consider people on the carnivore diet to be unhinged or misinformed.

Slurs exist to denigrate and diminish ones character.

Without argument, more vegetarians will help the world, but I don't think name calling wins hearts and minds.

you seem misinformed, 'carnist' and by extension 'carnie' has nothing to do with the carnivore diet, but with carnism:

Carnism is a concept used in discussions of humanity's relation to other animals, defined as a prevailing ideology in which people support the use and consumption of animal products, especially meat.[1] Carnism is presented as a dominant belief system supported by a variety of defense mechanisms and mostly unchallenged assumptions.[1][2][3][4]
