Iirc all the recent hate is focused on vegans who think obligate carnivores can be turned vegan.
Don’t abuse your pets or just maybe don’t have pets at all.
Obligate Carnivore is a great band name.
What vegan thinks you can turn a cat vegan? That’s like thinking you can turn a cat hegelian or something.
I remember when this was just a joke on Futurama. Why does life imitate art in the dumbest way possible‽
it’s possible we’re facing a future in which meat is not sustainable and we won’t want to spare any for cats, it’s something worth studying
It’s because the cat food thing is such a stupid hill to die on. Like if you wanted to engineer a viral marketing campaign to make vegans look dumb, you could not have done a better job.
I thought they were leaving and going to one of the tankie instances now that their banning of anyone who questions their misinformation to preserve the pure thought of their echo bunker has been exposed.
I do agree the joke has run it’s course, as funny as it was.
Indeed, everyone certainly made a meal of it.
At this point we really need some fresh meat
Yeah but some of them had to take supplements as well after
Well it certainly gave us alot to chew on.
alot
Do notional creatures count?
“Chew on”, in this case, is a figure of speech meaning “think about,” typically in a different light than previously afforded on the topic.
No one would actually eat an alot. Alots are intelligent and friendly.

So are pigs, unlike humans. Still, eating pigs is generally accepted, while eating humans is not.
I would say it depends on the human. Same reason why I only eat jerk chicken.
Pigs are delicious tho
There are exceptions.
Of course, they are very important!
Attacking the marginalized is never funny.
It’s fine, I’m 1/4th vegan myself
Lmao vegans aren’t “marginalized”
That word does not mean what you think it means.
Your reaction says otherwise.
Farm animals are though
Well, which course though?
Vegans are like linux users, they dont shut the fuck up ever.
Lololol something something dog food
It’s almost as if people have nothing better to do than to be keyboard warriors online.
Sounds like something a vegan would say 🤔
Isn’t it funny how meatheads act like they pretend vegans act all the time?
Sounds like something a meathead would say 🤔
Ha , gottem
Stop insisting people have the right to torture animals.
Edit: Seems lemmy is worse at context than reddit ever was.
Feeding cats and other obligate carnivores a vegan diet is torture the same way feeding humans a sawdust only diet would be.
By forcing vegan diets on cats?
idk what you’re on about, they literally defended vegans.
I’m…not?
Defends vegans. Immediately gets shit on by militant vegans.
That’s why people shit on them so much by the way. They’re incapable of simply not.
Meanwhile, the silent majority of vegans:
man IDK, i know a lot of vegans and none of them are silent about it. they’re all deeply passionate people and that’s not necessarily bad, but they’re definitely not quiet.
I actually figured they were against the vegan cat food thing, since the whole debate started due to cats being obligate carnivores and vegans killing them by refusing to feed them meat.
Such gas lighting. Vegans and Liberals do everything they accuse the Right of doing.
you can leave
Nope. Too much fun being here.
You sure complain a lot for someone “having fun”.
True.
Shitposting sub might not be the best place if you don’t like people taking the piss
It’s not called pissposting
Taking a shit without pissing is a rare talent
I didn’t want to brag
Take the piss, leave the shit
Yeah, !pissposting@lemmy.world is a completely separate thing.
Go shove a carrot in it, vegan.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I’m not vegan
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Not with this year’s weather
I remember the days when the fediverse was such a cool and interesting idea only to watch it become a “woaw vegans dumb amirite” circlejerk
Every platform needs a terrible meme that never goes away. Reddit picked a shoebox full of semen, we picked cat starvation.
On my instance a guy opened a community where he posted cooking recipes he liked. There was a vegan that complained that they contained meat. The vegan got a lot of deserved flak for that. Even from other vegans.
Wow ur so rite vegans are dumb
No the problem is that it’s enough if there is one asshat around giving everyone a bad name. Instead of contributing complaints was the only thing added.
You’re not going to convince convert anyone by attacking them. And now several people had a bad experience and may make these jokes, because for them it’s not a joke, but it is real. Show the alternative that it’s good and easy. Everything else is already a lost battle.
Dumb vegans amirite
guys I’m new to Lemmy and all I see are references to some began shit and beans. What the fuck was happening?
A bunch of vegans said they feed their pets only vegan food, whilst they are carnivores. Mod stopped the conv to prevent animal abuse.
Some Vegans got angry.
I agree with mods, last thing we need here are echo chambers for dangerous information
The beanposting is unrelated to the vegan drama, Lemmy just really likes beans. It was one of our first home-grown memes
Yeah. I was gonna make some vegan bean soup tomorrow but now I’ve decided to add bacon.
And that “no poop challenge” that was everywhere on lemmy about a year ago. Not sure whether that was a lemmy thing or wider, as I don’t use anything besides lemmy.
I’m glad a local culture is growing here naturally, but I didn’t expect it to be beans, jeans and no poop
Some vegans got into a fight over cat food. Whether or not you agree that cats can be fed with vegan alternatives, it’s still just cat food.
Vegans really like beans and Lemmy also really likes beans. But not in a began way so they started fighting. There were some riots and a lot of beans were murdered. It was sad.
We disagree on why beans are great
Cheap hearty food. Beans are wonderful. Affordable. Shelf stable. Full of protein. And tasty.
I’ve been here the whole time and I don’t know what the fuck is going on nor have I seen much of it. Now people complaining about it happening? Oh yeah, I’ve seen heaps of that.
And then someone makes a meta post like this, restarting the cycle
