    Honestly that seems pretty thoughtful of them. Most people I know would give zero shits and just post all that on a chat with vegans and vegetarians. Some of them going out of their way to post them on that chat specifically.

    aaand that’s why I’m in no group chat. Not even in the family group chat. They kept adding me and I kept leaving immediately. Everybody got angry with me. A couple of months ago something hapened and the grouo is over. I don’t know what happened because I was not there. Nobody is angry with me and I’m not angry with anyone. say NO to group chats

    Am I supposed to be in a group chat? Well, shit. Now I also want to know the incident that excluded me from every group chat.

    Seems considerate? “We didn’t want to annoy you with photos of something you despise so we created a separate channel to do just that but nothing else.”

    I would not be surprised if my old coworker-friends started a separate group chat without me after the nth, “Maybe you should come to one of these protests” and “Please at least read the wikipedia summary on this historical topic before you start going off about it” message from me.

    They’re fine people but they’re also kind of very… apolitical.

    I would be vegan if all the food i like wouldn’t have an animal product in it, also i don’t really feel enough empathy toward animals so i don’t have that emotional push :(

    I hate that the industry of meat do bad things and polute but also i don’t want to stop eating 80% of the things i like, i try to eat meat bought from local stores, also, cheer to all vegans that did the “transition”

    Just got one going on now.

    An extended family group chat that was 99% baby photos until one person posted photos of their kids at a protest this weekend and then the chuddy trad-wife sov-cits in the family threw a fit.

    They all left the chat and said they’ll only be reachable on Facebook.

    Oh darn. All the shucks.

      Now that is what i call an efficient way to filter out the trash from your group chat.

    Ahhh the WhatsApp Paradox

    For every chat group you’re in, there is a separate group that exists without you in it

    What I actually got is a flame war against vegans and a flame war against non vegans and they both hate vegetarians

    Please reply with your group chat incidents

        Disclosure: Am Vegan. Don’t hate vegetarians.

        I think it’s because many Vegans perceive Vegetarians as going half the way and then stopping dead.

        From a vegan perspective meat eaters are doing something morally wrong. But many have grown up that way and are conditioned into normalizing meat consumption. Many haven’t questioned it ever, or reflexively defend it, because it is perceived as normal.

        Vegetarians on the other hand seem to understand the problem of animals suffering. Many of them made an ethical decision not to eat meat… and then continue to contribute to animal suffering by consuming other animal products. Understanding that murder is bad and then deciding to commit it just a bit less directly, is a position many Vegans take as deeply harmful.

        Personally i am grateful for every single animal saved. Reducing meat or going vegetarian are steps in a direcion i see as good and positive. In my ideal world we would all be Vegans, but i am grateful for every little step in that direction.

          Even just reducing our global meat consumption would make me so happy. Let it’s insane to me that there is what amounts to my eyes as a wall of tortured flesh in every grocery store, and my tofus and veggie dogs take up like half of two shelves next to the fresh vegetables.

          I can’t wrap my head around eating meat every day, but there are people who eat meat at every meal.
