The four Ns of carnism: that it is “natural”, “normal”, “necessary”, and “nice”. It’s part of why you’ve never really thought about your carnism or the cruelty and violence you commit against vulnerable individuals every day. Why would you? It’s normal to do that!
I‘m an omni myself. I prefer it over „non-vegan“.
the academic term that contrasts with “vegan” is “carnist”
Just lets skip omnivores, flexitarians and vegetarians.
It just sounds weird. I guess it’s not wrong, but referring to the “normal” with a term that sounds like you’re referring to an outlier is weird.
this is the logic of people saying “cis is a slur”
No, it’s not. Quit projecting.
yes it is
So we shouldn’t call people heterosexual or cisgender?
It having a name is not treating it as an outlier. It’s just using the name. Omnivorous: you eat any kind of food.
I also thought calling people cishet was weird. Though I guess I got used to seeing it since I visit places where the terminology is common.
Most people who aren’t on social media much probably barely know the term.

Nah bro.
Avoidance and denial are essential to bulwarking the carnist view of themselves and avoiding the pain of cognitive dissonance.
I am in awe of your self righteousness.
You sound so smart!
just because you’re in the biggest “-ism” doesn’t mean you’re not in one.
Yes, but it doesn’t make it any less unusual to refer to it that way.
it may feel unusual to you
Yes? What’s your point?
holy shit, I thought you were following this. nevermind.
Would you prefer bloodmouth? Or maybe animal abuser?
Well that would be really in the “I’m a vegan btw”. Way more so!
