What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn’t heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

    Based on the post they were spreading misinformation and being really unsightly, calling not vegans things akin to slurs like “meaties” or some shit. I don’t know the full story though.

      Is “meatie” or “carnist” really a slur though? Those seem benign at worst and mildly accurate at best. Who is throwing a fit over that?

      “No no, you have to protect the feelings of “meat eaters” and “carnivores” by using the full word.” ??? Like… why is this the hill people die on?

      I agree that feeding a cat a vegan or vegetarian diet is still animal abuse, though. They’re not omnivores like us. They’re obligate carnivores, and pretending they’re not is abusive.
