    The kind of consumer-brained chuds that whine about “virtue signaling” vegans seem to consume a lot of meat as their own performative virtue signaling to each other. libs-owned

      I love that emoji. There was also that one tweet of Shapiro or some other loser like him with a huge, unappetizing chunk of meat.

      Soy is feminine, but giving yourself colon cancer and ED to own the libs is very manly big-cool

        I love all those ghouls doing “manly” things that they, for the most part, very clearly hate doing. Smoking giant cigars, drinking super intense Scotch, eating huge and unappetizing chunks of meat–whatever. It’s all very funny because most of the time they’re obviously just barely choking whatever it is down while screaming “does this bother you Rachel Maddow?! Are you triggered, college students?!” It’s pretty obvious that it bothers them more than it bothers anyone else.

          Uh i think they actually do like it. I know i do. Scotch and meat are both delicious. Not into cigars though.

          Trying to say they don’t actually like it is just cope. Of course they do. The ones who try to use it as some political anti-woke virtue signaling are the most demented of them, but they still like the taste of the stuff etc.

          You can have a problem with them and also acknowledge that they like what they are doing at the same time. You undermine your argument by creating straw men in your mind to get mad at.

            Your posts all throughout this thread accusing other people of being “too online” because they’re not nodding sagely at your wisdom of the yumminess of delicious le steak as the only possible motivation for libs-owned behavior

        There’s also a lot of hormones in meat, maybe more in red meats idk. There’s also lots of added growth hormones and such in dairy and meat to increase production.

        I think there might be argument that carnist weirdos are actually doing some form of hormone therapy accidentally. 🤔

        I’ve also heard that high meat consumption can potentially increase aggressive behaviors. I’d imagine the hormones are involved in that.

            It’s not.

            The assholes want to be praised for their reasonable nonpolitical “ironic” gestures against those (ableist slurs here) that made the mistake of caring too much. grill-broke

            Caring that much about the ideal of not caring is pretty common among assholes.

              Pretty sure unless they are hyper online weirdos they are completely unaware of how angry you are at them. They are like having business dinners and eating steaks and burgers and shit and have kids probably. They probably watch sports.

                You seem particularly worked up about some specific internet people in this thread, right now. If I am not mistaken you are significantly emotionally invested in this one issue at the moment and you do seem angry about it for unclear defensive reasons.

                Besides, where does rolling coal work into your “le steak and le whiskey taste good stop talking about it STOP TALKING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW” thesis?

                    I fucking love steak. Not virtue signaling.

                    You’re signaling your virtue of not caring, even now, and are apparently signaling your virtue of not caring about others “fucking loving steak” over and over again in this thread. You want other people here to stop caring because they’re caring more than you’re permitting them to care.

                  Rolling coal is being an asshole on purpose, and i would bet the same percentage of idiots do that as think they are owning the libs by eating steak every day. Less than 1%. The stat is about the 12% who eat most of the beef, most of those people are not trying to do anything performative or political.

                  The internet is skewing your understanding of the prevalence of these things, and it’s embarrassing to see people on here create straw men arguments about all the beef eating being performative, thinking they’re making a great dunk when they’re just totally wrong.

                    And you’re the enlightened detached very offline authority of who is too online and who is not, and you apparently draw that boundary with “le steak is le delicious STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW” rage posting.

          don’t care about anyone’s criticism of their lack of care for the planet etc

          The assholes care that much about the ideal of not caring that they spend money and do performative gestures to show how much they don’t care and want to make a statement that no one should care.

      Or they just eat it because it tastes good and they subconsciously are trying to commit socially acceptable suicide through heart attack because they don’t care about living longer but just enjoying sensual pleasures until they croak, regardless of who they hurt in the process. That is how they are trained to be from birth.

        What was this moment, then?

        libs-owned

        And where did those “for every animal you don’t eat, I will eat three” shirts come from?

        Some of it is conscious performative assholery.

            No. It isn’t. I’ve seen it, personally, from people in my real life, in person. My mom’s boyfriend, one of my sister’s partners, like half the people my dad invited to his wedding. Carnists love to brag about how much meat they eat. It absolutely is performative for quite a lot of them.

            I even have a theory as to why you haven’t noticed it (which I admit I could be wrong about). Here’s my theory: you’re not vegan. Just like cis people often fail to recognize when they’re performing gender, carnists often fail to realize that they eat performatively, because it’s “normal” and “everyone” acts the same.

              Agreed. I’ve known these people too and I’m unfortunately related to some of them.

              But for that particular person you replied to, that can’t possibly be because “LE STEAK IS LE DELICIOUS” and anything you say contrary to that is “EMBARRASSING” and you’re “TOO ONLINE” if you disagree with them. grill-broke

            The internet and the offline world are not that separated anymore. It’s almost impossible to function in contemporary society without an online presence.

            What is your goal here, anyway?
