It's just, like Sure, if I try to rub your nose in every negative moral consequence your choices have, after a certain point I'm being an asshole We all need a little bit of obliviousness to get through the day But it's not a good look to be *that* allergic to knowing things

Like someone who performatively goes "I'm an empath, I can't stand to see or hear or even think about a living thing in pain If there's an animal dying on TV you have to turn it off" "But do you eat meat?" "Yes but I could NEVER kill an animal myself"

Okay well... fine then But that kind of being an "empath" isn't a MORAL thing, at all It's not morality, it's an aesthetic preference If you yourself do think of it as morality, then that makes you a moral coward and a hypocrite

Arguably worse than someone who just openly doesn't give a shit about animals and thinks they're just piles of edible meat that happen to have faces If you think killing animals is *wrong*, *don't demand other people do something for you that you think is wrong*

If you can't sit through this video of how a slaughterhouse works, then fucking stop eating meat If you think becoming "desensitized" by watching this video until the blood and guts no longer bother you is making you a worse person, then fucking stop eating meat

It's really not, at all, an unreasonable ask As clownish as PETA et al can be, the overwhelmingly vicious negativity omnivores aim at vegans is because a lot of people really do feel "not having to think about stuff" is a right (and know it's not a justifiable one)

(I took the challenge to watch the slaughterhouse video and I still eat meat I don't think that's necessarily a good decision, I certainly don't think it means I "passed a test" -- it's a totally meaningless gesture in the end But also, like, literally the least you can do)

I couldn't watch the surgery video so now I'll have the cancer I guess.

Well I mean the point of the slaughterhouse video challenge is many of us -- by which I am specifically limiting it to people above a certain level of economic privilege who also do not suffer from certain medical conditions -- don't need to eat meat to live

Just speaking for myself, I actually did go vegan for a relatively brief period of time in college, and then abandoned it for no real reason other than "I have too much other shit to deal with and this is making me unhappy"

And fully admit that if I am betting on the wrong horse morally and killing animals for food is in fact an atrocity then that's a really bad reason to be complicit in it

Don't worry. It's perfectly reasonable to take an emotivist view on veganism.
