As I said before this is an unsafe site for Indigenous people. I’m out. Don’t bother DMing me. I’m scrambling my password and locking myself out of my own account. I’ve grown to care for and trust a lot of you so it’s hard to leave but it is clear that this site isn’t for me. I understand that the world and internet at large is really shitty to vegans so I understand and support the need for a safe space to process your experiences and to practice your dunks. All the best, signing off.

    I think that's a very uncharitable interpretation of what was being said considering it is literally in the context of the person in question attacking an attempt at undermining the legitimacy of minorities feeling they are being unheard, but my point is not about the validity of the comparison.

    It's the fact that slavery and holocaust comparisons that get repeatedly decried by large numbers of POC on here (and the subsequent 2983123th doubling down despite said POC objections) are either tolerated or outright given tacit approval when performed by a certain group of vegans, while another comparison gets immediately removed and the poster banned when it's directed against the argument of said group is absurd.
