MODERATORS
I became a vegan because vegancirclejerk made fun of carnists. I'm going to stick with what empirically works. You can save your philosophical rambling for metaphysics, this is an empirically solvable issue.
Also you haven't suggested a better word yet.
Of course I have, I have been using it the whole time, non-vegan, it is perfectly descriptive and already used.
I heavily curtailed my meat consumption to the point of eating it a few times a year or so, sure not a gold star vegan, but I and no doubt, others are turned off from being lumped into the same group as steak-every-day ‘red blooded’ self-described ‘carnivores’.
Thanks for sharing how you were persuaded to become vegan, I stopped eating meat following learning of the sheer inefficiency and waste of the meat rearing process, but if you’re saying you respond to ridicule, then more power to you. You should know though, that most people don’t find those methods persuasive.
