ahahah hello again ed I know how much you guys love me
no jk most of you probably don't know who I am
an interesting topic has come to light recently in my life and that was the topic of veganism.
I, myself, am not a vegan. I do know people who are & that's all fine and well, but there's certain vegans who like to berate people who aren't vegans and I am aware that these vegans have caused the term "bloodmouth" to start floating around the internet
bloodmouth:
An insult or slur commonly used by vegans for people who eat meat, indicating their distaste for eating creatures that bleed.
nowwwwwww I was wondering, wonderful ED, what your thoughts on the fact that this term actually exists?
do you find it disgusting that some vegans actually use this slur towards others?
I've heard the word before and I find it as distasteful as any other slur people use. It's disgraceful but there are bigots everywhere.

and also, do you understand veganism? if you're a vegan, do you find it disgusting that others eat meat? why?
I am a Vegan and while I find it distasteful, I try to avoid using the word 'disgusting' so lightly. I do not place humans above other members of the animal kingdom. In my mind, eating a cow, or pig, or any other animal is no different than eating your neighbor. However, while I dislike the idea of eating meat, I would never degrade someone for being different. I am especially morally opposed to the mass production of meat for consumption. Those who buy from local farmers or hunt their own, I don't have quite such an issue with their meat consumption because that's more humane.

for the vegans out there I am really curious as to how you feel towards the fact that the animals you're protecting by not eating are, a lot of the time, meat eaters themselves?
That is irrelevant really. Why would that have any bearing on how we view other members of the animal kingdom?
