If I tell you we’re going to the football game and you’re excited for that and then I take you to the ballet instead, it’s still wrong! It’s lying!

We all have the right to feel angry and betrayed when someone we trust lies to us. Vegans don’t have any ethical right to lie to people and most vegans I know are strongly opposed to lying to people about their food.

What if the meat eater has an allergy and now they’re going to the hospital because you lied about the ingredients of the food you served them? If you’re a deontologist then you don’t get to hide behind moral luck here. You’re at fault for the deception regardless of the consequences, just as drunk drivers are at fault regardless of whether or not they hit anyone.

Football enthusiasts are generally not morally opposed to ballet. This is not a good metaphor. Imagine instead that you're opposed to the death penalty, and I tell you that we're going to the ballet, but it's actually a public execution. I desperately hope that you can understand that that's worse than the reverse situation.

Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you
