Someone asked about feeding their dog, a feculative carnivore, a vegan diet. The response was overwhelmingly, “Don’t, it’s animal abuse”. In fact, that was my exact response. I posted links to several articles explaining that it’s very difficult to feed a feculative carnivore, like a dog, a balanced diet feeding them only vegan.

They didn’t like the word, “force” as in, “forcing a dog to eat vegan.” When I asked how not giving the dog a choice was not forcing their false moreal supperiority on an animal without other options I didn’t get an answer. I also suggested giving the dog a choice between meat and kibble or even a feculative carnivore kibble versus a vegan kibble so they weren’t forcing the dog to eat vegan. That wasn’t popular either.

So…I’m banned from c/vegan. My life will be richer for it.

EDIT: Some of this conversation happened with individuals after the mods hermetically sealed the echo bunker by removing all non-fawningly supportive replies and banning everyone who didn’t fawn positively.

    I tried posting there in some of their threads yesterday and holy shit, worst echo chamber I’ve seen since r/conservative

    These people drive away their potential allies more fiercely than their enemies, and then wonder why so few people are interested in being vegan.

      They’re not trying to make allies and they aren’t trying to convince anyone. They’re stoking their own misguided sense of absolute moral superiority.

        I think you’re right. I have a friend who is vegan and you would never know because he doesn’t talk about it, or judge what other people do. It’s just his personal choice. I’m all about reducing environmental impact so I consider vegans and vegetarians as allies in that regard. But these militants are something else.

    Fuck that loser mod, they probably got banned from Reddit. Anyone feeding a dog vegan has deep mental issues and is abusing the animal.

      The clitoris has more than 8 thousand nerve endings and it’s still not as sensitive as a moderator of a vegan sub.

          I’ve said several times that all extremists are the same. It doesn’t matter what kind of extremist they are they believe that they are somehow superior (racially, ethnically, religiously, economically, morally, etc.) and that that moral superiority justifies anything they do to anyone they see as inferior to force their moral superiority on them or to harm them. They self-absolve which is EXTREMELY dangerous.

    It’s an obvious troll sub…

    And you want out and made a whole community to tell people it’s a troll sub?

    Like, this is the best reaction you could be giving them. I don’t know why people don’t look at modlogs tho.

    Just block them and go about your life, not draw more attention so more naive people go over there and feed them.

      c/vegancirclejerk is a troll sub just as r/vegancirclejerk was a troll sub but they would still ban you if you questioned the orthodoxy. c/vegan is just a bunch of hypersensitive vegans looking for an echo bunker to confirm their beliefs and make them feel better about animal abuse.
