Omnivore?
(Well Carnivore would be meat only, Omivore is everything, Herbivore is veg only. But yeah.)
Yeah, but vegans also don't use animal products as well (and sometimes products that may hurt animals secondarily) so it's a descriptor for not just diet but lifestyle. And vegetarianism allows for animal byproducts but not meat, so also not omnivorous I think?
Drag:
You:
Me:
Were we not having a discussion on the correct word for meat eater, which would be carnivore? I'm confused
Nonetheless, -vore as a root word means devour, carni- means flesh/meat, omni- means all, and herb- means, well, herbs. These words all only describe the animal by their diet, not also their sociological choices.
That's a scientific term, not a lifestyle choice
Wait, you're the troll who insists being called drag is the same as someone trans wanting to be called s/he, aren't you?
I don't know the other user, but this is irrelevant to this conversation.
Omnivore is biological designation of the type of foods that our bodies are biologically equipped to handle. Note that "capable of eating/digesting meat" does not mean must eat meat. Animals in that category would be "obligate carnivores."
"Meateater" is probably the more common term for someone who makes the lifestyle choice to consume animal products. But "carnist" is intended to encompass non-food uses (e.g. wearing leather). While it may be used as a pejorative by the vegan community, any term is likely to be used that way (including omnivore or meateater) when describing a group that one views with contempt.
But veganism can use leather and eat meat in the appropriate circumstances come to think of it.
Edit: just to be clear, this was something I was told by other Vegans, including in person. Roadkill or an existing carcass of an animal that dies naturally for example are fine.
No, drag's not a troll, just an ordinary trans person with unusual pronouns. If anyone here is outraged about trans people literally just minding their own business, it isn't drag. It would have to be someone who brought up neopronouns just to complain about them.
Ahhh, you are that person that misrepresents trans people and makes them look bad on purpose! You just forgot your schtick for a moment. Nevermind then, your opinion is meaningless.
Yea man, finding out that Drag is a vegan surprised no one. It's just another moral high ground to argue with Internet strangers from to feel better about what I imagine is a very uninteresting life.
I doubt they're either trans or vegan. I think they're one of those right wing folk who just like to make minorities look bad, like that goyper who started that whole kid furries ask for litterboxes at school thing.
God forbid trans people talk about something other than being trans

If drag were a troll, you would be an unwitting collaborator, because drag would have tricked you into being transphobic and hating neopronouns. But drag's not a troll, and you're unfairly blaming drag for your hatred what's different. Drag didn't manipulate you into not wanting to learn about trans issues and do better by trans people, you manipulated yourself and convinced yourself that drag was to blame.
Are you trans? Because a lot of other trans people here "believe it", and if you're not trans, then acting like you know better than the trans community is a dangerous amount of hubris.
No, please keep going, I want to see the blow out.
Check the modlogs, they apparently got this person banned from their instance. Unbelievable. Time to block .zip from my feed. Any instance that protects a troll like that asshole isn’t worth a shit.
Oh wow, that's some main character type shit with that sort of moderation.
Yeah. They’re a giant troll and a huge piece of shit. This is what they do. They hide behind dumb shit that they know people will protect them for simply out of fear of being wrong- there’s TONS of people they’ve gotten banned.
Best to block both them and the shithole instance that protects them.
I never block, but thanks for the recommendation.
Maybe if they believed trans people when we tell them our pronouns, they wouldn't get banned. It seems like this is a problem with a really easy solution.
