    Im just asking you to use a degree of discretion and empathy. I get that there’s a subset of vegans that are so trapped in their world view that they lack compassion and empathy of other people, but is that who you want to represent yourself as?

    Cows cannot read so Im not about them in this context. Im more concerned with the person who has a flashback triggered by your inappropriate comment.

      And there’s the problem: I’m asking you to show a shred of empathy by not contributing to the system that perpetually rapes cows, but you can’t even fathom it. Not talking about uncomfortable subjects doesn’t stop them from happening behind closed doors. You want to talk about lack of empathy and being trapped in a world view? Start by looking in a mirror.

        You can’t help but be the worst, can you? You don’t even know what my diet is because I never mentioned it here but you have to be “that vegan”.

        The cow can’t have PTSD from insemination triggered by your casual rape comments because as you might ge surprised to learn cows cannot read.

        Many humans can read and Im asking you to think about them in places where it is only people.

        You can have compassion for both. It’s ok to not want humans or non-humans to get raped.
