I was permanently banned from the Reddit sub without recourse for posting this despite not breaking any rules. I’m slowly making the migration over thanks to such encouragement.

    ITT: a bunch of stolen bee vomit fetishists. Why pay so much money for something weird, gross, and every bit as unhealthy as sugar and corn syrup? Maple syrup (while also unhealthy) tastes way better. And date sugar, whole blended dates, or molasses are healthier alternatives.

        What’s unhinged is people who think they have the right to confine, torture, exploit, rape, murder, and devour the flesh and/or secretions of other animals just because they’re different.

        Yeah I get that bugs are easy to dismiss because they’re tiny, often obnoxious and treated like a nuisance, and less intelligent than other animals. But we’re still talking about living beings who have their own subjective experience of life, individuality, and their own agenda. Like all animals they came into this life with us, not for us.

        Commodifying living beings is unhinged. And even ignoring the moral side of things, having a preference for bee vomit is unhinged.

      Oh, look, it’s a walking vegan cliché. People like you are why people hate vegans. Save your anger for actual animal abuse.

        Oh look, typical carnist cliché is getting offended because someone criticized the weird shit you do.

        I didn’t see anyone else pointing out how bizarre it is to fetishize bee puke.

        And people hate vegans because most people want to believe they’re at least “pretty good people”, and the very presence of a vegan challenges that belief. If you’re offended, maybe it’s time to look in the mirror.

          is this even provable? has anyone ever said that’s why they, themselves, hate vegans?

            No, he is speaking how he imagines things are. Vegans, like everyone else, can be great people or horrible people. No illusions there.

            No amount of veganism makes them better humans.

            It’s always good for a laugh when a vegan thinks like this though
