- I called a corpse a corpse (post contains multiple pictures of chests of multiple animals)
- Get called loud, obnoxious and ridiculous
- User types 380+ words on why my view is ridiculous (see linked post for more of their comments, my only two comments are in the image)
- I replied in an annoyed tone but did not use insults
- I am banned for “rule 1, be kind”

Note: “the rules of this site” in my comment refer to rule 6 of lemmy.world which states:
No visual content depicting executions, murder, suicide, dismemberment, visible innards, excessive gore, or charred bodies. No content depicting, promoting or enabling animal abuse.


See, it’s interesting that people in the Vegan community feel that any criticism of their atrocious behavior, means the people criticizing them must be their opposition, a very common false dillema which people in the community use to shield themselves from criticism of their behavior. I’m assuming that’s what you’re trying to do here.
You have absolutely no concept that someone else might have a different perspective than you, do you? Or what that would really functionally mean? No concept that an image may mean a different thing to a person with different values and experiences? I do not believe you have a specifically vegan blind spot. I suspect you’re a generally myopic person who always sees themselves as the good guy in every situation.
I’m well aware that others have different perspectives and values than me, and I have changed a lot over the years due to the feedback of others who know more than me (I used to be a liberal, and said a lot of stupid and anti-leftist shit without understanding how wrong it was). Thanks for proving to me you know so little about me as a person.
I maintain that OP’s behavior was not acceptable in public spaces, and more importantly isn’t going to change hearts and minds of anyone. I don’t blame mods for banning people like that because they act like disruptive and hostile trolls. I wouldn’t be surprised if they got instance banned should they continue to behave in this manner.
You’re totally justified and good to police everyone else’s behavior, then. Carry on.
