*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)
Me every time a militant vegan says “carnist”:
I’ve never interpreted that as an attempt at an insult, what word do you think is more fitting?
Omnivore, maybe? 🤷
But yeah, pretending that eating meat is an ism IS an insult when coming from an evangelical vegan who considers it morally reprehensible lol
I personally love cheesebreather, bloodmouth, and milk-drinker.
Bonus points to milk-drinker because that’s not even a term made by vegans to call people coward babies. Play Skyrim and you’ll hear it all over the place!
Carnist doesn’t count because it’s not technically an insult. It’s just a name for someone that practices carnism. Carnism IS terrible, but the purpose of the word is no different than Christian to Christianity.
It’s hilarious that carnists get so butthurt about being called what they are though so I enjoy that part.
bloodmouth sounds like the name a supervillain
or their last name, idk
I always feel like “carnist” implies they’re a pervert too
Filthy, degenerate carnist out there holding hands and hamburgers!
I personally love cheesebreather, bloodmouth, and milk-drinker.
see i just couldn’t keep a straight face if you tried to say those while making eye contact 😭😭
