I mean I'm not a vegan but I can't help but feel like this meme's got a point

The fact people are getting butthurt in the comments proves they know it's true

Philosophical phantasm, they know but accepting it's true in a real sense would cause them to have an identity crisis.

Yeah, I mean, they're not wrong.

I'm pescatarian and I'm happy with that choice, others should be allowed to make their own choice, but they should also make an informed choice.

I mean I don't see the correlation between different experiences with different senses.

Like I love feeling shit come out of my ass, don't like hearing seeing smelling or tasting it and I don't think that's an intellectual 'gotcha'

Shrug. It's just not particularly funny. And there's pretty obviously a widespread effort to post vegan stuff to non-vegan subs. People have made their choices and trying to hammer them over it doesn't change anyone's mind. I'm just blocking the people doing it, personally.

Militant vegans, they're just like religious fundamentalist.

I disagree. None of those other actions serve a purpose. It's not like we can absorb calories through touch, smell or our eyes. No bosy just licks meat and then throws it away like they would if they just touched, smelled, or saw it. We actually eat the meat when we taste it. That's why people enjoy the taste, because they associate it with being fed. Not because of some cognitive dissonance as the meme suggests.
