Won't lie. We're almost at BBQ season and I'm going to be smoking up all kinds of goodness on the pit that'll make yo mouth water. I'll post pics but if it's too offensive I'll just keep the food pr0n to myself.

    we dont CW police brutality (from what ive seen but maybe we do, but also it seems like we dont) but i guess we CW meat lol .....is this what portland is like

    case in point: https://hexbear.net/post/83399 ; https://hexbear.net/post/5048

    congrats on dismantling the white self absorbed racist vegan stereotype (this isnt directed towards OP ofc who was half joking)

    guess the hierarchy goes:

    gamers

    pigs (CW)

    black 9 year old girls pepper sprayed while handcuffed by cops as her family watches in horror

      where in those posts is the police brutality? There's just links to articles and tiny non-graphic images. Videos and images of police brutality definitely need a CW

        i thought the suggested CW would also include thread headlines and give a CW for the topics that the thread discusses, kinda like how people write "CW: Homophobia" even if there's not a homphobic image that needs to be protected // that seems to be how i've seen the content warnings on this site

        also people have posted images from reddit threads showing racism / baised behavior towards other marginalized groups without content warnings

        they also post images of derek chauvin and other murderers of blacks without CWs so

          I'd say that image and text CW are different and apply differently. I'm sure you see the difference between racism (or in this case speciesm) and images of corpses. This site isn't always great about CWs, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do our best

            okay image and text CW can be different and that makes sense.

            but we're not talking about censoring only animal corpse images, we're talking about censoring any pictures of meat while not censoring images of chauvin / marginalizing screenshots , also

            i just think that's weird

            lets do our best but let's also keep the same energy towards all possibly triggering images

              it's the same picture.

              Do you think images of cops need a CW?

                i think images of murderers like chauvin should probably get one but hey thats just my opinion, and i dont feel the need to lord that over anyone else despite the fact that I am a black person who has been a victim of police violence

                and while you think corspes and meat pictures might be the same, clearly other vegans in the comments dont

                  I'll bring it up in the modchat. Yeah vegans all have different experiences and opinions, I think adding a CW isn't much work, so even if a minority of people want/need it that should be enough
