@LilithJenovax@abby_neer @alliekazam_ @scholtzm12 ...those who buy these products are nonvegan, & either unaware of the issues or are. are you referring to those that do, have the means to change & dont care? if so my answer is still the same, if they enter the discussion, we share the facts and should never be rude doing so 🤷🏼♀️
@LilithJenovax@abby_neer @alliekazam_ @scholtzm12 i dont know who you mean then. people is a bit general. in the context of discussing veganism, it's either vegan with vegans, or vegans and nonvegans? the meat, dairy industries are interlinked & so are the resulting impacts of their existence...
@LilithJenovax@abby_neer @alliekazam_ @scholtzm12 there are many welcoming and supportive vegan communities to find on here too, lots of very sharing, friendly people. best to avoid the toxic people & find those who welcome discussion.
I feel only diff b/w vegans & non vegans is being aware of the issues.
@LilithJenovax@abby_neer @alliekazam_ @scholtzm12 I see it from alot of non vegans too. but to dismiss the cause because people are rude is a real loss to those affected by the meat, dairy industries. it's looking at it from the wrong angle- veganism isnt about liking vegans, but animal, human welfare & environment
@LilithJenovax@abby_neer @alliekazam_ @scholtzm12 simply, vast majority of vegans share facts with non vegans not to make them feel bad but so they will be aware, concerned and act
@LilithJenovax@abby_neer @alliekazam_ @scholtzm12 agreed veganism includes educating. to educate means sharing facts, challenging perceptions. if a vegan or nonvegan, is rude then yes they could maybe seen as assholes. but feeling shame about participating in something those facts show as cruel & unnecessary isnt on the educator
@Jenny_Bickerton @BarChat_Siobhan @AndrewBooton@RedBoxProject I'm sorry to hear that. I relate, i was homeless, and then spent years experiencing poverty. others though aren't aware for one reason or another. and it's always worth raising awareness & signposting to great orgs, and projects where we can :)
@Jenny_Bickerton @BarChat_Siobhan @AndrewBooton@RedBoxProject for these young women and girls disposables are the solution at this time, I agree not the best solution. but there are many projects like Red box and others that would welcome support from innovators to create accessible reusables.
@LilithJenovax @alliekazam_ @scholtzm12 but many use this to shut down discussion &avoid discomfort. humans can be shitty, vegan or not. generally though if facts are used to address ur behaviour = someone shaming you, its actually projection, & u feeling humiliation/distress caused by consciousness of wrong behaviour
@Jenny_Bickerton @BarChat_Siobhan @AndrewBooton true they should be more widely used. but can be difficult for young girls i.e. at school, with changing &keeping used ones to wash later. also washing them maybe costly this close to poverty line. mooncups are gd, but also not suitable for young girls. check out @RedBoxProject
