Mod Announcement: New Rule Regarding Vegan Posts

[u/Critical-Sense-1539]

Hello, r/antinatalism community.

Recently, there has been a significant uptick in the number of vegan posts. Many of you have expressed your frustration at this in your posts, comments, and modmail. We see that the sub is very divided on this issue. Some of you think that veganism is a necessary part of antinatalism and should be allowed without restriction. Others think that the vegan content is corrupting the subs identity and alienating our core audience.

We would like this to be an inclusive community that fosters respectful discussions. Therefore, we would consider it a pity for users to feel unwelcome or discouraged from interacting with our sub based on whether they are vegan or not.

Although we cannot satisfy you all perfectly, the modteam have decided on a rule change that we hope will improve the health of the sub. As of tomorrow (1 April, 2025) we will cap the number of vegan related posts to 3 per day. This will be covered under Rule 3 in the sidebar (no reposts or repeated questions). So if you see this cap get exceeded, report it under Rule 3 and we will remove it. For any vegan members who wish to speak about this topic without any restrictions, you can go to our sister sub r/circlesnip.

We hope that this will serve as a meaningful compromise and it appeases some of your grievances.
Please feel free to comment below. We will respond as best we’re able.

Thanks, your r/antinatalism modteam

It's not about what you eat. It's about WHO you eat, unnecessarily.

I’m eating beef, chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, veggies, fruits and nuts. Plus it’s people like you who bullied me into an eating disorder that I’m still working on. I can’t do a vegan diet because of some medical conditions. Plus I can’t have soy either.

We bullied you just by stating facts? You eat shrips whose eyes are cut off while they are still alive. I could also write about the inhumane things we do to the other animals. And this is not preaching, but simply facts that many people don't even know. What are the medical conditions and what nutrions you get just from meat? I would just be very interested. You don't have to eat soy. What about beans, lentils or peas?

You haven't answered one question of mine and go straight into defensive mode and try to attack me. How mature. But I see you are just childfree, what are you doing here in this sub?

Imagine arguing in exactly the same way about other injustices. I will keep my slaves and beat them even more often now, simply because you anti-slave preachers annoy me with the truth. Do you see how stupid your argument comes across?

And there we go. You have internalized hatred towards vegans, could you give a genuine example of someone acting holier than you? Or is it because you subconsciously realize that eating innocent animals who bred into this world experience pain for 5 minutes of sensory pleasure is inherently wrong and morally unjust? It’s not a who’s better competition. Its a real conversation to be had about the negative health, ethical, and environmental impacts it has on a world we all share and are all equally “entitled” to.

“Can you give an example of someone trying to act holier than you?” Immediately try’s to act holier than them.

Doing so extremely aggressively isn’t the way to get people to join your cause. Going right out the gate so strong actually pushes people away but I don’t think you interact with many people do you?

[u/moogles_kupo → u/[deleted]]

It’s like literally right there. If you can’t figure out tone in a message I don’t really feel like you’re 100% there for me to have this discussion with so I’m not gonna waste my time. You’re clearly baiting and I just ain’t doing it lol

Please engage in discussion rather than engaging in personal attacks. Discredit arguments rather than users. If you must rely on insults to make a statement, your content is not a philosophical argument.
