Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.
In all sections of the site, you must follow the Hexbear.net Code of Conduct.

It's funny to me because it reads like a satire of non-vegans, but this is literally how most of them are.

If you’re still trying to justify any use of animals as "symbiosis" or "mutual benefit," you’re missing the foundational point of veganism: It’s not about reforming exploitation—it’s about abolishing the idea that animals exist for human ends.

Your "Tony Stark cloning" hypotheticals and guard dog mental gymnastics don’t change that. Veganism rejects the entire framework of animals as resources, whether under capitalism, your backyard, or a sci-fi lab.

You’re still missing the core issue. The tarantula egg and dog meat examples aren’t about personal comfort—they’re about exposing the arbitrary, culturally conditioned mindset that designates some animals as "resources" and others as "off-limits," and that is the very issue veganism seeks to address, but you are dismissing it on the basis of vibes and viewing it as a meaningless cliché rather than understanding the intention of these examples in this context.

Veganism isn’t debating which exploitation is "okay"—it rejects the entire premise that animals are ours to use. If you can’t engage with that principle, this conversation is pointless. Let me know if you ever want to discuss abolitionism instead of hypothetical loopholes for "happy slavery."
