    Hexbear had a nearly site destroying struggle session that took a while to rebuild from after vegancirclejerk was lifeboated. It wouldn’t surprise me if that was the powder keg.

      Nah I was there for it, it was 100% omnivores just being giant dickheads who saw themselves as the furthest left/most moral/whatever the fuck people being confronted with the gigantic moral black hole of how they enjoy the fruit of mass torture & murder. Eventually they couldn’t handle the heat so had to run crying to the mods. There were also the usual spurious accusations of vegans being anti-indigenous levied by non-indigenous people. Truly a deeply embarrassing episode that omnis here do their best to forget, just like they do their best to forget how if they witnessed the process of their meals being made for more than five minutes they would get lifelong PTSD. It’s fine to inflict that damage on the colonized people who work in the meatpacking plants though.

      has anyone ever done a writeup about that? I see posts mentioning it and when I look stuff up I see posts on c/vegan that were very clearly part of it but it’s kind of unclear how it went from dooming on c/vegan to the way the site is today
