    Aaaaand you’ve willfully ignored what I’ve said so you can do more grandstanding. This is precisely what I’m referring to. Your first sentence shows that you didn’t even understand what you were replying to.

    For context, I was saying that meat corporations may be paying trolls to make vegans look like loons and idiots in a similar fashion to Russia’s pro-Trump troll farms. That is the exact opposite of what you’ve now claimed.

    I can think of two possible reasons for your complete failure at a response:

    • First, because you felt the slightest opposition to your position, even if the opposition is only to your methods, was a personal attack, in which case, you’re doing thr job plenty well yourself, or
    • Second, because I nailed it, called you out, and you felt you needed to cover your ass.

    And based on the complete disconnect between what my comment actually said and the ignorant content of your own, I’d say the latter is entirely possible.

    Thinking about it, it is strange that such extremist behavior seems so prevalent around here. In the real world, I haven’t heard much like this since the Australian couple that malnourished their puppies years ago. They displayed the same level of smugness the whole time.

    On the fediverse, however, it seems like I see someone yelling “carnist rapist murderer” every couple of days. I’m honestly starting to think that there actually might be some kind of corpo-backed false-flag going on here, it’s so extreme and constant. There are people in this thread alone who are so extreme it reaches the point of parody.

    Yes, they did. Either way, however, not shearing domestic sheep is harmful to them, and I’ve personally seen the molestation “argument” appear in response to such a statement in the past.

    Someone who’s more informed might respond with something about the selective breeding. Plenty will still respond with the same energy already seen within this thread.

    Let me ask you this: where do you stand on shearing sheep?

    EDIT: Since the user chose to ignore my question, I’ll just explain my reasoning. Many vegans consider the shearing of sheep and using of wool to be cruel, with some having ‘rape’ and ‘molestation’ narratives like those being addressed in this meme and active in this thread. Despite this, modern sheep require sheering for their health, and will become matted, heavy and overheated otherwise.
