hey i know this is a meme sub but this is a crazy thing to post lmao
These groups face a lot of attacks from the publicly unfortunately.
all but one of them is under the constant threat of murder babes
That’s true that vegans are safer in that regard but they do face threats and police brutality from protesting.
A woman in London Ontario (Canada) has bumper stickers on her car that indicate her vegan choices. These bumper stickers include expressions such as: “If you love animals you don't eat them.” "Be kind, be vegan." And “Friends, not food.” One sticker shows a picture of a dog and a cow, asking the question: “Why love one but eat the other?” As a result of these bumper stickers, she has been yelled at, aggressively run off the road, and had meat and other objects thrown at her car. She is worried not only for herself but for her children. Regardless of your own diet and choices, we can likely agree that this is a sad state of affairs.
thank you for sharing nevertheless i do find this post to be in very poor taste. there is a level of disrespect to comparing people groups who face systemic murder with a few individuals who have faced harassment.
The post just says protect these people not that they face the same level of discrimination.
i’m aware, yet i find this to be disrespectful
I’m transgender and Ukrainian and so screw off with this “but it’s disrespectful claim”
no, it’s important to me that you know i find this to be a hurtful post, even if unintentionally, so i won’t be dropping my claim
Veganism is always seen as “disrespectful”
here you equivocate (assume to be the same) two things. to clarify, i find your post to be disrespectful
i have the utmost respect for veganism and all vegans :)
Is this.... Is this a post from vegan's being all like "omg we be discriminated against, look we are the same" when literally all the others are actually very marginalized very threatend groups? I'm trans and this meme is the same kinda feels of PETA saying there like trans people on how horrible it is, and getting hunted down. When in fact my whole life I have never seen any vegan get denied basic services to the extent of any marginalized people In my decades of living. It's always them wanting to take over Marginalized communities and make it all about them (in my experiences I have had)
Yes there are religions that have vegan type restrictions, there are trans people who are vegans. That's all ok.
It just doesn't feel equitable to me trying to place something someone chooses to do by extreme marginalized communities that are often hunted down (in some places literally hunted down)
As always it's ok to be vegan, or vegetarian. And I get the reason for it. But doing this kinda thing just makes me feel like how PETA is and try to redirect all the attention to them.
isnt this so disrespectful? i know she says “im not saying they face the same discrimination” but… media literacy: 99% of people who view this juxtaposition will come to the conclusion she kind of is saying that.
sunshine if you are reading this, just like… make better memes. you have noble intentions but wow this isn’t the way to do it lol
I’m not saying the groups face the same level of discrimination just that they need to be treated better. I’m trans too, I know the severity of the situation.
The reason why PETA gets a lot of negative media attention is because of the propaganda from the right-wing political entity Center for Organizational Research and Education slandering the most effective animal rights organization by twisting the facts and spreading misinformation.
The Center for Organizational Research and Education (CORE), formerly the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) and prior to that the Guest Choice Network, is an American non-profit entity founded by Richard Berman. It describes itself as "dedicated to protecting consumer choices and promoting common sense."
Projects and campaigns of CORE include Humane Watch, a watchdog of the Humane Society of the United States; the Environmental Policy Alliance, which criticizes environmental activists; and Activist Facts, a site dedicated to tracking tax-exempt nonprofits.
The organization defends the alcohol, meat, and tobacco industries and has been critical of organizations including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Humane Society of the United States, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
Experts on non-profit law have questioned the validity of the group's non-profit status in The Chronicle of Philanthropy and other publications, while others, including political commentator Rachel Maddow and author Michael Pollan, have treated the group as an entity that specializes in astroturfing.

there is more than one reason.
I love everything about this, and I just learned there's a vegan flag (yay!), but the vegan flag looks like an email icon to me 🧐
The vegan flag is gorgeous as it stands for the compassion towards others. Hopefully we will see more being flown all around the world and an emoji made for it.
It does look a letter haha
