Lmao the slurs you make up are so cute
Nobody defends factory farms they're universally hated
But not enough for people to boycott, other than a single-digit % of the population.
Can you explain how that is a slur? Who is being unfairly oppressed/please describe the victim of the slur?
If you are describing omnivores as "carnies" then that would be a slur since most people consider people on the carnivore diet to be unhinged or misinformed.
Slurs exist to denigrate and diminish ones character.
Without argument, more vegetarians will help the world, but I don't think name calling wins hearts and minds.
you seem misinformed, 'carnist' and by extension 'carnie' has nothing to do with the carnivore diet, but with carnism:
I have been hearing this term used to demean meat eaters since the late 80s. I guess they were all misinformed too.
Have you heard of the carnivore movement? There are genuinely people saying to stop eating vegetables. It's probably mostly ragebait, but it exists.
Not rage bait, earnest people trying to solve real problems.
Apart from the 1 guy here on lemmy running his solo community ... I never have.
It feels like user wasn't talking about specifically people on the carnivore diet. It came off as a slur against people on the most common diet on earth.
ok
