Current Events > Man eats kabob in front of animal rights activists.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Key takeaway here is the TC posted a link called public freakout in order to sit back and watch the meme sniffers tear each other apart over it.

That second woman should live an agonizing, lonely life the rest of her days

Pretty sure that's a guarantee. With a handful of 2 month long relationships that end when she slips up and lets loose

I mean it'd be the same thing if you were having awesome sex and some guy showed up and started eating a sloppy joe. He's within his right to do so but I certainly wouldn't like that.

Imagine just writing this and thinking "yeah, that makes sense, I'll post that."

Unless you're having sex in public, generally a criminal act, "some guy" is not within his rights to just show up and eat a burger.

Are you high off your kite?

They're both antagonistic ffs. Drop the good guys/bad guys act, people. You'd have to be a dick to cause confrontations like this in public over completely benign stuff.

They're initiating conflict by having the protest to begin with, that's kind of the point of staging a protest. They're the antagonists in this situation.

I think you're confused about protests.

Dont hear much about non-vegans tricking vegans into eating meat.

Vegans, on the other hand, constantly hear about them tricking people into eating fake meat.

Complete opposite for me. I've never heard of anyone being "tricked" into eating faux meat (which would not have an adverse effect anyway) but I've heard of many instances of people sneaking meat into vegetarian/vegan meals which actually can make a person sick

Their response was obviously outta pocket but let's be real--there's not a good reason why the dude was eating a kabob in the middle of a crowd like that instead of at like, a diner table or food truck or something. He was there on purpose, and they took the (literal) bait.

I'm not sure why you all think that someone staging a protest means people staging their own impromptu counter protest are somehow in the wrong or bad or whatever. Vegans planted their flag and shouted this is us here are our tenets.

This dude probably passed by and said "nah, bro."

Someone should eat a beyond meat burger in front of them so their screeching looks even dumber.

And people call vegans the antagonistic ones.

because they are. why do they need to yell all the time?

I mean.

That seems pretty harmless.

Not when the person is allergic to soy or other vegan ingredients

So allergens dont exist?

This unlike the notion of social issues like racial relations, protests against the police, etc, vegans rarely have a justified protest.

That I didn't think of. My bad.

You said it would have no adverse effect. Youre dead wrong.

I think its definitely a dick move. Animal rights activists have a legit point that you can respect while still eating meat. Alot of animals are treated inhumanely for their lifespan. There is a humane way to do it, while executing them without suffering.

Literally has nothing to do with the topic being discussed. If someone is allergic then that is an entirely separate issue

Funkydog posted...

I didn't and have no intention of watching it. But purposely going up to vegans to eat meat in their faces is the very definition of antagonism. They certainly knew what they were doing and wanted a reaction.

Or maybe some vegans should practice what they preach and be tolerant of other people's dietary choices. Oh but wait, that would require self awareness of their own hypocrisy.

The way he's licking the kabob back and forth maybe he wasn't trying to antagonize but instead demonstrate his skills to a group of potential new friends?

I'm not a vegan or even vegetarian. Though I was Vegetarian for over a year one time. I can understand fully how any animal activist feels about meat, or how places like humane society are able to capture videos of atrocities against animals. I turned vegetarian for over a year because I started to feel sick when I thought about eating an animal. Knowing that they are full of life like us humans arex,that their bodies have blood and brains and hearts and such as we do. Anytime I wanted to eat meat I got too many gross thoughts in my mind and I couldn't do it anymore. But now I'm back to eating meat and have been for couple years. Yet I still at times think about being vegetarian again as the thoughts about the meats still bother me sometimes. By the way here is my cat Queys, to cheer up this animal topic!!

You brought up having no adverse effects to unknowingly eating vegan food.

Take the L and move on.

Doubling down on being irrelevant lol

And this is why context is everything. If the guy came up with the intention of pissing them off he's an asshole. If they came up to him, while he was just trying to eat then they are the assholes. See not so hard is it?

give this man an award

This is a big part of why I stopped going to protests and vigils. The kind of person who goes to these things generally lives in a perpetual state of agitation and hypersensitivity to the point of being just fucking miserable, quite frankly, and I can't waste my time or energy on that. I got used to the average meat eater in developed nations being an irrational, inflammatory chud because this is a decidedly non-vegan world and if I were going to lose my shit every time one of them did something chuddy, well I'd have no shit left. It doesn't bother me much anymore but the hysterics of the animal rights zealots (who are, fortunately, a minority in vegan/plant-based communities) was unbearable, mostly because it's entirely detrimental to the cause.

I'm no vegan and have zero qualms with humans killing animals for meat, but how does someone get tricked into eating fake meat and how would that even upset someone? Are there people eating meat for moral reasons? Does eating fake meat somehow cause them to compromise their beliefs?

I mean it is tricking people into eating something which has a whole world of other implications that can be had.

lmao at the karen and her hand gestures. then the 2nd completely unhinged lady.

it's like they ham it up for the cameras. they have to. how can you get that upset at something so tertiary to your day to day?

She's also really bad at acting though. it's like it got into slam poetry for a second there. but she kept repeating "you have a small dick", like saying it more times makes it more true.

We used to "trick" my sister into eating mushroom ravioli by telling her it was meat.

She wasn't morally opposed to mushrooms. Mushrooms didn't violate her religion. She just thought they were icky.

I guess it could be a dick move if you knew someone was allergic to a specific meat alternative, but the opposite of vegan isn't a carnivore and no one eats meat as some sort of protest or belief system.

Most don't consider it "just a dietary choice" but a basic moral value, given they do not support the mass torture of animals that is required to sustain the meat industry.

There's a third option. They were standing there loudly being obnoxious, he goes up to them to highlight how obnoxious they really are by calmly eating.

Imagine people eating cats and dogs infront of cat and dog owners, which I think most people would agree is an asshole move. Thats sorta the same idea of what this guy is doing. Not eating those animals is simply a cultural thing. But the whole idea of eating meat in the face of a vegetarian is basically saying, "I don't care about the animals you care about". Its the same message.

Good god they look unhinged. And hey wonder why people look at them and see them as jokes.

Fuck militant vegans. Lemme enjoy my meat.

If someone starts screaming at me about how video games are the devil, I'm not going to cover up my shirt or turn off the console.

I don't give a fuck what their beliefs are. They aren't my beliefs. I'm not an asshole for not catering to them. Not like I'm forcing them to participate.

Actual tolerance means seeing people doing something that doesn't affect you and shutting the fuck up

And compassion means seeing the suffering of the voiceless and refusing to stay quiet.

I've seen you display this enough to know you understand the concept, yet your brain conks out when it's a matter of systemic, for-profit animal cruelty. Why is that?

I don't think this is something that needs to be explained.

Because we're not killing and eating human beings

I get that factory farming, poaching, abuse, etc is bad, but just not being a vegan is not actually a bad thing. If someone doesn't want to eat meat, good for them. I've started eating vegan sometimes too. But people don't need to stop eating meat when a vegan is around just because they don't like it. That's not everyone's belief, so no one has an obligation to stop doing something that isn't affecting them just because they disagree with it.

A militant vegan is pulling the same kind of crap as all these morally righteous religious conservatives, sticking their nose where it doesn't belong, trying to force others to live as they do when it's none of their concern. Live and let live.
