So hey, Vegans scream up and down that eating meat is just as bad as homophobia.

And then one of their jokes is literally 'Haha you're gay'.

You aren't restored, you're just giving into cravings caused by an eating disorder! In this case the eating disorder is literally veganism, as that is the reason you aren't getting all the nutrients you need!


Like seriously, she doesn't even know what argument she's making. Why accuse people of having an eating disorder instead of telling them to educate themselves on alternate sources of protein.

I have a feeling that comic is a veiled response to things like Blonde Vegan admitting that her veganism was just a cover for an eating disorder. Sadly, a not-insignificant number of people (primarily young women) will use veganism as a socially acceptable way of being anorexic. But no! Admitting that this problem exists and trying to help those people with disorders is just carnets propaganda

I love this one. It's like a time traveler actually described the internet to someone in the 1910's and the artist just can't comprehend it.

"You mean, he'll have videos, news, sports, music, juicy gossip, everything he wants at the touch of a finger!?"

"Yup. He'll even be able to order food and drink and have it delivered right to him by robots! And will have his own camera mounted on all of this so he can do face-to-face video-calls with anyone he wants. All from the rolling chair in his office."

That really is the best thing. He can only imagine things as massive mechanical contrivances but it's pretty much the most accurate.

Heck, the air pipes are probably a response to the future guy telling the past artist about the one time he found someone selling bottled air from the Alps on Amazon.

The Vegan stood up resolutely against the scientific proof that we cause undue suffering by allowing animals to overpopulate. Bringing in a deep breath to shout over all the Carnists scientifically valid excuses, she uttered forth the words that would undoubtedly turn their minds away from their opinions on quality of life being more important than having so many animals suffering.

"NO U!"

When you post something in response to the incredibly stupid vegan comics, ask yourself "could this post be accompanied by an elbow nudge and a 'vegans amirite :jerkbag:'?"

If the answer is yes, don't post it.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. I have nothing wrong against Vegans. I even can agree with them on some points. Yeah, the farming industrial complex is *hosed*. I'm hopeful that in the future scientists are able to create 'farms' that grow meat and whatnot without causing any creature to feel pain. I mean if it doesn't have a brain it can't really tell that you're hurting it, right? But the poo poo I'm seeing in these comics are beyond ridiculous. Anti-scientific thinking, blatant hypocrisy, refusing to believe that someone would be unable to purchase vegan foods or unable to eat a vegan diet because of their biology. I've got a lot of respect for vegans. I don't have respect for people who try and deny science right in their faces or tell other people that it doesn't matter how poor or how sick they'll get, if they eat meat they're cruel murdering bastards who deserve to be put up against the wall, when they should be like Vegans who're so peaceful and progressive and loving for everyone.
