Abstaining from a thing does not make one a vegan. That's not how any of this works.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 3 hours ago

But it makes people come off as extremely annoying. So that's working.

It's like how they put the word gate after something to say that it is a scandal involving the former word.

Somesort of political scandal involving road maintenance? Oh yes well that's roadgate then. Even though the Watergate scandal was in fact it scandal in the watergate hotel, rather than a scandal about water.

Sex flexitarian is where it's at

No mayo in the bedroom? Why even bother.

Vegan aioli just doesn't cut it

“Vegan sex” is actually a different thing. It’s penetration but you stop before you cum.

If the human you're fucking consented, then consuming their fluids is vegan. Hell if they consent, eating them would be vegan too.

Animals do not consent to having fluids extracted or their lives taken and flesh consumed. Animal agriculture keeps animals in filthy, torturous conditions too, which no animal would ever consent to either.

I had a fish that died by suicide. We didn't eat it, but arguably

[–] Tired@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 hours ago

It was kept in captivity by you though, which is not it's natural habitat so any choices it made were, arguably, under duress.

If you lived by a creek and regularly recognised a fish swimming by, and one day this fish killed itself in front of you- you still shouldn't eat it as fish contain a lot of parasites and there's very likely also something toxic in the water causing the fish to harm itself this way.

But yeah, sure, hypothetically: if for a year or so you knew a wild fish that lived in an unpolluted and ecologically healthy body of water, and one day this fish chose to kill itself in front of you. You could, if you really wanted to eat a suicidal fish, eat the fish and say it was vegan because the only harm that came to the fish was through the un-coerced choices of said suicidal fish.

Awe so the article author has a vendetta against vegans got it.
