Super-Fun-Pak Comix by Ruben Bolling for September 30, 2025 | GoComics
The author is making fun of "proud, vegan-hating carnivores." Ruben is not "anti-vegan."
Oh my god I was on a train coming into the country and they asked everyone of course if they had any produce/fresh fruit or veg. These boomer assholes were a few seats up and the guy said "I don't eat that stuff". WHAT
I don't know, vegetarian, vegan, to me it says a lot more about a person if they purposely say they don't eat fresh anything. And I'm sure they eat a token amount but we all know the type of person that it is.
It takes a real man to get the factory meat fron the store. A weak vegan could never open that fridge door. It genuinely makes people feel better to do the thing that is really easy and most people do anyway.
Kinda reminds me when i was in starbucks once and the guy in front of me was all weird and went: i want my coffe BLACK, non of that frappo mocca choco latte stuff. Do you even have REAL coffee? And the girl behind the till was like: sure sir, black voffee is our most selled item.
Good on her. Dude would probably be astonished that people can in fact like multiple types of coffee. I personally like black coffee in the morning and sometimes w frappo mocca Choco latte in the afternoon
People are emotionally invested in eating meat and it's stupid.
Yes, but I think it goes deeper. I think it's more People are so threatened by any change in their own life that they have to make it a personality trait.
As in - if one actually looks into vegetarianism or veganism and why people eat that way (the abhorrent conditions of animals, the waste, how we don't actually need meat), then it would force them to actually confront the morality of themselves eating meat. This would cause a personality shift in them - so they instead reinforce their believes with whatever asanine thing allows them to continue their lifestyle while essentially plugging their ears to anything that would challenge it. For our benefit, they come off as whining and emotionally childlike.
For many people, "I am a good person" is a core belief. An emotionally strong person may be able to look at a challenge to their core beliefs, assess its validity, and adjust. Most people are not emotionally strong. They see this thing like vegetarianism as an attack on their core self. And since they are not emotionally sound people, they lash out or make excuses. That's easier than accepting maybe they're not flawless paragons of virtue.
The oatmeal did a comic about this: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe
D&D webcomic "the order of the stick" also did a comic that touches on it. One of the characters says that people like this, who refuse to look in the mirror and honestly assess maybe they've done something bad, are cowards. https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1151.html
And honestly that's kind of it. People are scared, and scared people are stupid. The big "i eat nothing but MEAT" people are probably, contrary to their posturing, cowards. Worse than children, because they'll probably never grow up.
They are just good TV viewers and consumers.
Some people find bananas too exotic.
Fries are potatoes! I DON'T EAT THAT STUFF
Aren't potatoes honorary meat or something like that?
"We made it!"
