/c/food is basically /c/veganfood at this point, and is all but being moderated as such with meat posts requiring NSFW tags* and pinned threads pushing veganism. /c/omnivore (or something along those lines) would be an explicitly non-vegan food community so there just doesn't have to be interaction between vegans and non-vegans wrt food posts.

* Despite members of the community expressing multiple times that we didn't want that. And the thread announcing it was locked immediately.

Sorry this borders on /c/strugglesession, but this is still the right comm for this. We shouldn't struggle session about the merits of veganism here; just discuss whether there should be an explicitly omnivore community.

    You know, I'm starting to think that maybe putting really aggressive vegans in charge of everything here might actually alienate a ton of people.

      Tone policing leftists on a leftist site with the reasoning of "you'll never convince anyone that way!"

      Nice

          Tone policing is when I, a real leftist, criticize how mean the other leftists are being when they ask me not to pay for animal torture.

          Instead they should be more civil, so that I can continue to ignore them.

            Tone policing is when you point out that it's alienating to prospective socialists for your socialist website to call all non-vegans animal torturers and bloodmouths and to demand that they attach NSFW warnings to every picture of pepperoni.

              Why should it be avoided to speak truth to issues we care about? Isn't that the entire point of this site and why we come here.

              edit: Great edit, definitely doesn't change the words you typed to make my response look different. Great novelty account created only to antagonize the vegans here too, bad faith and all.

                Actually no, it's not. It's for communist propaganda and shitposting.

                Correct.

                Fascinating interpretation. It's actually based on the idea of growing cultured human meat in bioreactors, which I think is amusing.

            It says a lot about the mods of this site that this user has not been banned. AlexisOhanian has consistently been a shit-stirrer and definitely falls under "debatebroisms" constantly.

              We're in a discussion thread about veganism and you're angry I'm on topic?

      So what? For the sake of the quality of the content we should be alienating more dorks, not less.
