I know what you're talking about but I don't remember anything else about it. I have no idea why I even remembered the vegan comic honestly, I hadn't thought about it in years.

Yeah it's supposed to be "Animals suffer but you don't care about that, plants don't suffer but you're pretending they do and that you care to attack vegans, but gotcha, plants don't suffer." The entire comic was basically just vegan characters attacking DASGDC strawmen with gotchas and sick burns.

She had so little self-awareness she made a comic explaining the concept of a strawman to a strawman.

I only just now realized the malnourished woman tending the vegetable garden in the first panel is almost certainly supposed to be anti-vegetarian/veganism. I guess that woman that the morning show chuds on the radio here were mocking for talking about how eating meat has become part of white supremacist identity politics wasn't so wrong after all.

It's all part of the gritting ecosystem - just get whatever ridiculous fringe belief you have on a morning show with minimal barrier to entry for guests and you've got a good shot at ingraining yourself into the culture war economy and making a decent chunk of cash from speaking engagements, book deals, and patron subs

Because she's a dumb carnist who thought she was exposing vegan hypocrisy and didn't expect the vegan to have any kind of response at all let alone a brilliant riposte that totally demolished her carnist sophistry

People are often huge pricks to vegetarians though, mostly by accusing them of hypocrisy or of being sanctimonious. I can understand a person being frustrated by that and just wanting to make a direct moral statement about why they are a vegetarian.

Vegans specifically make a very specific life choice that takes some amount of discipline and commitment. Not that there aren’t judgy vegans (I’ve met a few) but most I’ve met are fairly normal but people still tend to feel judged by then the same way they do around anyone else who takes a really committed stand on things idk

Once you age out of your teens if you're still coming into contact with judgy vegetarians/vegans it's a personal choice on your part. Anyone who's still mad at preachy vegans is either still mad about poo poo from middle school or practicing the age-old tradition of raging at people for caring about something they don't

But this is the Internet and every strawman is real if you look hard enough, hence vegan artbook

Vegetarianism is actually super easy to plan around if you're trying to like grab dinner with a group. Veganism is a little trickier but there are plenty of other dietary restrictions that are just as bad, like for example my mom decided she was gluten intolerant at like age 60 and it is a huge pain in the rear end

Oh yeah I know vegans and it’s easy enough to find vegan dishes when I have them over or to just go to vegan restaurants if we’re going out. Vegan food that’s generally available is a lot better than it was even ten years ago. Not that it wasn’t always pretty great if done well, but I mean there’s a lot more options that do it well these days

I don’t see too many people accusing him of having good art either. Horny art, yes, but there’s Garrison for that who usually has better composition and a more lively vision of whatever disgusting poop from a butt constitutes his politics that day.

Neither of them can touch Dees, of course, peace be upon him.

Yeah his art is pretty boring. I guess it’s competent enough that it would be fine if his ideas were interesting, but it definitely doesn’t carry the work or overcome the lovely ideas by being visually interesting

He also seems genuinely unaware that the leftist who Did Numbers saying his "you ain't black" comic was unironically good dislikes Joe Biden, because he has fully bought into the propaganda that democrats are communists and the more communist you are the more you love Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and want to hug and kiss them, and a decent amount of his recent feed is just trying and failing to process that

I've seen people say "When is he going to do porn?" which isn't the same thing as saying "His art is good," since his art is definitely not good (that loving hand from the detention comic).

VitalSigns posted:

Most of Vegan Artbook was just "Look at how dumb and crazy people who eat meat are" and those were the least objectionable ones, but then you had the ones like "Eating meat is just as bad as the Holocaust" and her using misinformation and bad science to say that anyone who eats meat is willfully deciding to be evil, and then it was a lot more infuriating.

it’s only annoying to me when people start stacking dietary lifestyles (vegan, gluten free, “i don’t like salads”, etc.) and make every outing this complicated puzzle

My wife's family is sort of like this (they have an insane patchwork of diets, allergies to common foods and dislikes that I can't begin to follow) except instead of being annoying about it the host announces what they'll be making for any given gathering well beforehand. Then everyone who has any problems is welcome and expected to bring their own food. It's actually kind of nice, because when you have the extended family over you don't need to fret over who likes what, just make whatever strikes your fancy and everyone will roll with it, no hard feelings.

It seems like the sane and obvious thing to do, which I guess is why a lot of people don't seem to do it.
