The biggest issue I see with anti-vegans on tumblr is the fact that at the end of the day, they literally do not understand what veganism actually is.

This is why it’s so frustrating, ultimately, regardless if the person is a troll or may mean well. Vegans are working with the actual definition of veganism whereas anti-vegans or non-vegans are not.

So again: Veganism is a political, ethical, philosophical, and moral movement that centers around not using animals as far as is practical and possible for one’s situation.

Veganism is not about being plant based, though it is a component of it that covers food consumption. It has nothing to do with capitalism or any economic system, though these things often intersect with one another.

I am begging non-vegans of all walks of life to please understand this. Veganism is a social justice movement.

I think it would be best to block POS’s like “agro-carnist” and other deliberately bad faith anti-vegan blogs. They actively just suck off an-ag even though that industry doesn’t give a fuck about them (or the planet, or animals, or people) and are okay peddling anti-science and lying to their audience. Engaging with them is what they want, and they actively want to see us (as a group and as individuals) hurt while ignoring the plethora of vegans in minority groups and all the harm an-ag calls. They’re immature, circle jerking trolls. Don’t waste your time on their bad faith. ❤️

Part of me feels like i can't do that because I did engage first but at the end of the day you're right, i really should just block and move on. Thank you ♥️

last song: my current song-on-repeat-to-deal-with-depression is The Age of Believing by Aron Wright, which is brand-new! It's very sentimental but I need the age of believing in my current mental state to get through the day. "hope is like a ledge you're holding on to / you can pull yourself up if you want to" "love is like a tiger on a landmine / you're scared but want to save it at the same time". Heard it on Station 19. Just want to find a way to pull myself up to that ledge. Want to save the tiger.

favourite colour: RED ❤️

currently watching: House, haha. It's entertaining.

sweet/savoury/spicy: savoury yes, spicy yes, sweet no unless it's literally a piece of fruit, like you know the sweetness of a perfectly ripe nectarine? divine

relationship status: it's me

current obsession: mass effect trilogy, @blarrghe's writing and Taren and Dorian, Dragon Age stuff, veganism (always), giftedness, books forever and ever, ...

last thing you googled: well I don't use google, but I last ecosia'd(?) stuff related to sewing machines because I was talking to my oldest sister about it because I want to get one and she's been sewing for years!

tagging @dirtyhecker @thatveganwhiterose @runfast-runfar @dimitribelikxv and anyone who ehm identifies with the tags because if you're into the same stuff I am then I want to know more about you!

Forgot to post this earlier, so here you go! Tor practicing his charms on the lovely Aerilyn, which ends in predictable failure. Thanks to @thatveganwhiterose for letting me borrow Aerilyn for this drawing :)

This is so dumb like saying woman is an adult human female; gender is a hierarchical misoginistic system; lesbians and gay men are exclusively attracted to the same sex; porn and prostituition are patriarchal and deeply harm women and treat and use them as objects; femininity is oppresive and harmful; women should abort on demand etcetera has nothing to do with veganism? How are one so brain rotted to think one thing somehow intersects with other? I mean many radfems believe veganism is feminism for the ways in which animals bodies are exploited and maimed, especially the female ones...but thats no op point.

"We have to weed them out" weed them out from where? Are we in your private house you loser?

veganism is so fake and performative for these liberals. They literally want to alienate people out of being vegan. Out of being against animal cruelty/abuse. Let that sink in.

[thatveganwhiterose]

Is tumblr dot com’s new anti-vegan argument seriously “because vegans consume things, veganism = consumerism”?

This is some of the most ass backward, immature, closed minded, dense, and selfish arguments I’ve heard in a while.

And I’ve been on this hellsite nearly since it was fucking created.

Tell me you don’t know anything about veganism, consumerism, or economics without telling me you don’t know anything about veganism, consumerism, or economics.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

@acti-veg

additionally, you’ve thoroughly assumed I’m an outsider and said so specifically which makes your entire way of addressing this indicative of so many  of the problems with the movement.

I see no value in acknowledging you further. There’s nothing new, relevant or interesting coming out of your  mouth.

@thatveganwhiterose in the same vein you’ve accused me of not understanding veganism or minority religions. “And it shows” Who knows where you’re looking.

Don’t be so sure darling. Might wanna check your arguments before you go slinging accusations. It might make your life more pleasant. Drink some water. Have a hug.

[thatveganwhiterose]

Man I love unfollowing blogs that I 99% have agreements with on moral and political beliefs solely because they reblog misinformation about what veganism is, and other related topics, because they decide to make tags like “I hate vegans”.

Like these people unironically claim to be leftists and support leftism, which usually includes reducing waste or harm as much as possible, but then demonize the very movements (veganism and animal rights) that put forth these very practices into action.

It’s one thing to have legitimate criticisms of things, though people also unironically seem to believe that most of these criticisms are BECAUSE OF philosophies such as veganism versus things like capitalism, classism, poverty, etc.

The fact that so many “leftists” have such brain dead takes without using actual critical thinking skills or comprehension that they shriek and cry about the right acting on makes me not trust these fucks farther than I can throw them.

Anyway, if you can’t unironically include veganism or animal rights into your advocacy or activism (which is literally just reducing animal usage as much as you can), you are unironically acting like right-wing reactionaries you cry about.

If you need any clarification or further explanation as to what that is, I am happy to engage in a civil discussion about this.

Bad faith takes will get you ignored or blocked.

I am so tired of being a minority who has to constantly explain why veganism is so important and necessary for all things leftism is concerned with. Like seriously shut the fuck up and actually listen to us and engage with us instead of this continual brain poison and misinformation campaign tumblr and other “leftist” sites love to push.

Yours truly,

A ND Jewish vegan woman

[thatveganwhiterose]

Being a minority vegan is such a double edged sword on this hellsite.

Leftists apparently “give a shit” when my minority status is brought up in a negative light (I’m using myself as a Jewish person, as an example).

But suddenly when my veganism comes into play and how it has stemmed from and tied with my Judaism and overall ethics/morality…suddenly what I have to say doesn’t matter.

(This is aside from the fact that much like with many movements, leftism has an antisemitism problem much like it has its own race, class, ableist, etc problems.)

I am an “uwu person to be protected” to suddenly becoming “as bad as Xtian colonialists” because of my lifestyle…

…because using decades of data about how animal agriculture is affecting animals, humans and the planet is on par with Xtians colonizing, brutalizing, force converting, killing, and other heinous things to non-Xtians in the name of a deity we cannot prove exists.

So yeah, I do take offense to that. You are telling me that because I abstain from *provable violence* to lessen my impact on the earth as a whole, that I am just as bad as *people who would want me dead for being a Jew*.

I need y’all, especially Xtian anti-vegans, to make it make sense. Because it doesn’t. And you can’t.

[thatveganwhiterose]

I’m sorry, did y’all expect me to watch movies like Chicken Run, The Fox and the Hound, and 101 Dalmatians as a child and NOT be a vegan?
